    Just a thought..a way around land reform,!!!!

    Ownership by way of prescription! As at today’s date the only other legitimate way to become onwer’s of land is by prescription, to have occupation of that land for an uninterrupted period of 30 years.
    I know it’s crazy, but let’s assume that I am the owner of farm land. Let’s further assume that I have the title deeds. I own it, BUT I concerned that, Mugabe, through Malema is actually having a say in my Country that I was born in, then I’ll do the crazy thing and I won’t tell anyone about it, I will confirm to affidavit that I claim: - That in terms of section 1 of the Prescription Act 68 of 1969, I hereby claim Acquisitive prescription of plot xxxxxx, as I have had uninterrupted occupation of this piece of land for more than 30 years!!!!(Why on earth will I want to claim acquisitive prescription for land that I already own????JUST IN CASE!!!! AND, No body will know That I confirmed this to affidavit!!!)I will include in my affidavit that section 1 states:-

    “Subject to the provisions of this Chapter and of Chapter IV, a person shall by prescription
    become the owner of a thing which he has possessed openly and as if he were the owner thereof
    for an uninterrupted period of thirty years or for a period which, together with any periods for
    which such thing was so possessed by his predecessors in title, constitutes an uninterrupted
    period of thirty years.”
    The bad Guy: Cavera Q: “ How much men do you have to protect your land????”
    The Good Guy: Chris A” “ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    The bad guys: The land invaders represented by
    Calvera
    and company


    VERSES
    The Good Guys, the farmers ,The United nations Security Council and the International Criminal Court represented by Chris and company



    Calvera:“We want your land and your crops.If God did not want them sheared, He would not have made them sheep. So, how many of you did they hire?
    Chris: Enough!
    Calvera: I see you built some new walls!

    Chris:There are lots of new walls. All around.
    Calvera: They won´t keep me out!
    Chris: They were built to keep you in not to keep you out!
    Calvera: Did you hear that? We´re trapped! All forty of us! By these three.Or is it four? They couldn´t afford to hire more than that.
    Harry: We come cheaper by the dozen!
    Calvera: Five! Even five won´t give us too much trouble!
    Chris: There won't be any trouble... if you ride on.Calvera: Ride on? Where am I going to get the food and land for my men?Chico: Buy it or grow it!O'Reilly: Or maybe even work for it.Calvera: Hm, seven. Somehow I don't think you've solved my problem.Chris: Solving your problems isn't our line.Vin: We deal in lead, friend.Calvera: So do I. We're in the same business.Vin: Only as competitors.Calvera: Why not as partners? Suppose I offer you equal shares.Chris: Of what?Calvera: Everything. Down to the last grain.Chico: And the people of the village? What about them?Calvera: I leave it to you. Do men of our profession worry about things like that? It may even be sacrilegious! If God didn't want them sheared, He would not have made them sheep. What do you say?Chris: Ride on.Calvera: If I leave here with empty hands, everyone in this village will answer to me when I come back.Chris: You won't come back!Calvera: Why not?Chris: You won't have any guns. Take them off right now and drop them
    Cavera:Generosity. That was my first mistake!l leave these people a little bit extra and they hire these men to make trouble.
    Chris: lt shows you: sooner or later,you must answer for every good deed.Shoot out ensues!!!!!!




    The good guys(The farmers, the United nations Security Council and the International Criminal Court represented by Chris and company) defeat the land invaders.....
