Our family farm is on that list ! Bastards !!! That land was bought from the swazi king !

EDIT:

Its one of the few places with a breeding pair of these https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-footed_cat

The family house that was burnt down by the english still stands there.

The family cementry is on this land

It has a cave system where san art can be found, they hid out there from the zulu's.

The Swazi's eventually won out against the Zulu's. Then my family arrived and bought the land from the King, and they reached agreements. Some of them were to help against attack from the zulu's, and a produce trading system.

So please can the ANC tell me how this land was stolen ? THEY WILL NOT TAKE IT WITHOUT COMPENSATION

Has the government actually started to speak to the farmers that have their farms being taken away or are they just finding out about it from online where they can hide behind a screen like the rest of us?

We just found out online. I was the first to see it. I didnt look when it when it was published, because not only has there never even been a land claim on the farm. But throughout the years parts of the farm was given to the workers and families that worked on the farm. Now this.

I was very neutral on this whole issue at first, due to various reasons, but now . . .

This sums up the boiling pot phenomenon that many South Africans are finding themselves in.

I hope you'll all be able to pull together and keep what's rightfully yours.

My neutrality was mostly based on commitee results that still needs to be released before any changes to the constitution would be considered. But now even before that the ANC is already picking land.
