Land claims, whether legitimate, fraudulent or opportunistic, can cripple farms, businesses and the families that depend on them. Thousands of land transactions, financing applications and plans to develop or expand have been scuttled by land claims, and this has cost South Africa incalculably in terms of jobs and rural development. That is why the family farmer network, the Southern African Agri Initiative (SAAI), decided to publish the largest digital land claims database online

Land Reform – A Trough for Vultures, Hyenas and Selfish ANC Cadres! Land Claimant Refuses to Explain Millions’ in Suspicious Transactions
Posted on Leave a comment
It is well known that the ANC Land Reform in South Africa is a total failure, but as long as land and money are on offer, the vultures, hyenas and ANC cadres will come to feast. One such heinous and cynical case was portrayed when the Land Claims Court (Randburg) ordered that the books of the Moletele Community Property Association (MCPA) be examined by the Auditor-General, and the Director-General of Rural Development and Land Reform, not that it’s ever going to happen. MCPA, which claims that the Moletale people are a separate ethnic group, successfully claimed 27 properties in Hoedspruit, including two working farms.
The case was brought by the MCPA before Judge Brain Spilg because the MCPA wanted to cynically try to reverse the original decision of the Chief Land Claims Commissioner, who withdrew state funding from the MCPA. The greedy MCPA wanted to continue the case to claim other land in the area, or was it just plundering? The MCPA’s case was op

Communism FAILS Again! Another ANC BEE Milk Farm Collective Ends in Disaster, Despite (or Because?) R43 Million of Our Taxes Being Given To Them!
Posted on Leave a comment
Hundreds of cows dying from neglect has been termed “a challenge” by the MEC for Agriculture in the Eastern Cape, Nonkqubela Pieters. What normal people would call animal abuse, the socialists (sociopaths?) call a challenge? It is becoming patently clear that Ramaphosa’s “our people” simply cannot, or do not want to farm, they just want the cash handouts and free stuff that comes with all these disastrous virtue seeking schemes. The milk farm financed by the state to the tune of R43 million, as a much publicised empowerment project for “our people”, has collapsed in the Eastern Cape, leaving most of the cows dead and not much going on besides the odd sickly cow wandering about.
SA-News has reported about many of these totally failed, lavishly funded state farms, which were intended to run on a socially engineered communist collective farm model – in other words where a farming project was handed out to a group of “our p

ANC Leasing State Owned Farms To Black Women, Youth & Disabled Just to Tick Politically Correct Boxes! “Superficial Land Transfers Harm Agriculture” – TAU SA
Posted on Leave a comment
Communism 101 states that a Socialist Government must own all the means of (Food) Production, so why is the ANC regime leasing out farms based off superficial, racist & sexist criteria without consulting established farming organisations? Are the ANC implementing Comrade Lenin’s Ethnic Cleansing and Forced Starvation policies? The Transvaal Agricultural Union (TAU SA) has said it is not convinced that the ANC government realizes the difference between agriculture and social welfare. This comes after the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, Thoko Didiza, announced that 135,117 hectares of state land have been “transferred” (30 year lease) to 275 farmers this year – but young people, women and people with disabilities will get preference. Another 260,000 hectares of state land will be advertised within the next two weeks.
“The minister makes a point of thanking farmers that they continued to provide food to the country during th

WATCH VIDEO | Cyril Ramaphosa’s speech full of lies: True reconciliation cannot take place without taking back the land that was stolen by the Afrikaners from the Bantu people
Posted on Leave a comment
Monday on the 16th December, 2019 in Bergville , KwaZulu Natal President Ramaphosa gave a speech. Included in this speech was the controversial and acutely serious issue of; Land Expropriation Without Compensation. He said that True Reconciliation cannot take place without Taking the Land, the Land SHALL be returned.
The attached video is of the FULL speech, use the slider to reach around 6:56 into the video to listen to the beginning of the important part of the speech.
Ramaphosa has a strange way of expressing so-called “Nation building” and overcoming as he puts it “a bitter past” with his announcement of “Land Expropriation Without Compensation” is no way to build a nation or did he not learn anything from all that went on in ZIMBABWE? Land Reform as Mugabe referred to it did not work out well for Zimbabwe.
Buckle up folks the ride is going to get very bumpy and there will be consequences. BE PREPARED – BE VIGILANT AND ACTION IS ANTIDOTE TO DESPAIR
Natal farmers won court case against state dispute regarding to what should be fair and equitable remuneration for highly productive agricultural land
Posted on Leave a comment
A 13-year court battle gave 20 farmers (willing sellers) a fair price for their land offered to the state. The claims were initially set at about 42 000 ha. Landowners offered some 9,000 ha of highly productive agricultural land to the state to settle the claim.
The government had to admit that the Valuer-General wanted to buy the farms from the farmers for almost half their value. The landowners of Melmoth in Natal entered into an agreement with the Department of Land Reform whereby they would voluntarily make land available to the government. The deal would mean R761m for the farmers.
The government has repeatedly decided that the Valuer-General’s assistance should be called and according to a “government formula” they calculated that the farmers were entitled to only R420 million.
Last week, the government abandoned the fight to use the formula. According to Attorney Bertus van der Merwe, who represented the farmers for the past two years, the turnaround
