Land redistribution: People are opting for money instead of land as R8 billion dished out to settle Eastern Cape claims

Lmao but the anc is stupid :ROFL:
 
You actually raise a very valid point. Because these land claims go back some time and have potentially multiple claimants, it's always going to be simpler to take the cash than to divvy up the land somehow.
Absolutely.
In the case of my mother, it > 10 way split.
 
The problem is that the people need a bundle, land, seeds, implements, fuel, fertilizer, livestock etc. Oh, and a farmer to do the work - then it would be a sweet deal, otherwise it's just a poisoned apple

The land will still grow in value, so if it can be sold for more in N years then its still worth it. But again, that's long term thinking that the poor can't afford.
