And nothing about corruption within it's ranks - they seem comfortable with the gravy train - first class of course!!

Are these policies going to be published to the public?

You have to love the simple maths - 87% of the land dominated by white commecial farmers and 13% went to home lands.

I must be living on a farm. Work on a farm and watch movies at a farm mall. And I travel to places on farm roads. And every now and then use the homeland airports.

-- Land reform

South Africa's apartheid history has resulted in the unequal distribution of land ownership in favour of whites and a problematic tenant system.

Some 87 percent of land has been dominated by white commercial farming, with 13 percent allocated to the former homelands.

To address this, radical land reform was necessary, while not disrupting agricultural production and food security.

Land redistribution has been hampered by the high cost of land, so the ANC's aim to redistribute 30 percent of the land would need a review of the willing-buyer, willing-seller principle.

On the release of the policy documents in March, Jeff Radebe, head of the ANC national executive committee policy subcommittee, said: "The recommendation in this document expresses the view that the current willing-buyer, willing-seller model tends to distort the land market through inflating the prices of land earmarked for restitution, and this has the dual effect of making land reform expensive and delays the process of increasing access of the poor to land."

The document proposes introducing an office of a valuer-general who can set standards for valuation of land that involve fair compensation.

So according to the ANC, If I use the above map, the green bits with the "I" legend is 87 % white owned and controlled, but whites only make up 6% of the population ?
