I honestly do not know why he calls it the Economic Freedom Party. All he wants to do is have the government take ownership of all assets in the country. This while the gov already owns most of the country.

Actually that is not true. Government only owns 14% of the land.

THE government owns about 14% of all land holdings in South Africa, according to the provisional results of a land audit conducted by the office of the chief surveyor-general, Mmuso Riba, in the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform.

I often look at an atlas and in particular the african continent..... Imagining three miain dual highways heading from cpt up the west coast to luanda, angola and further up to nigeria, around the bulge up to marakesh... The 2nd straight up the middle of the continent to cairo and the third being being the african east coast freeway, no borders, imagine the job creation, trade, tourism and development of the continent, imagine being able to hop in your car and being able to drive to europe..... Cross roads along the lines of latitude linking the three great african highways, just like the style of the american freeway systems...

It's there already...sorta...

Trans-African Highway network

More than half of the network has been paved, though maintenance is a problem on much of that. There are still numerous missing links in the network where tracks are impassable after rain or hazardous due to rocks, sand, and sandstorms. In a few cases, there has never been a road of any sort, such as the 200 km gap between Salo in the Central African Republic and Ouésso on highway 3. The missing links arise mainly because the section does not have a high national priority as opposed to a regional or transcontinental priority.

As a result of missing links, of the five major regions—North Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, East Africa, and Southern Africa—road travel in all weathers is only relatively easy between East and Southern Africa, and that relies on a single paved road through southwestern Tanzania.

Wars and conflicts

As well as preventing progress in road construction, wars and conflicts have led to the destruction of roads and river crossings, have prevented maintenance and have often closed vital links. Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola are all in rebuilding phases after war. Wars in the DR Congo set back road infrastructure in that country by decades and cut the principal route between East and West Africa. In recent years, security considerations have restricted road travel in the southern parts of Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Egypt as well as in northern Chad and much of Sudan.

Why shouldn't it be? Are we oppressing political views now?

No but we should oppress criminal stupidity and opportunism.

As for the misfit comment I disagree. He fits in perfectly into the tin pot dictator in the making category. And we should oppress the duck out of that too.
