Namibia may soon take land by force

Namibia is one of the sparsest populated countries in Africa. There is more than enough land for everyone ...

Yeah - my dad always used to say .... ''What the hell do want now??'' ..... boy I am glad I didnt say land .... or I would have to give away to some expectant revolutionary.
 
Ok MortyM., then the government should not be talking about land grabs, which is effectively what expropriation means.

They should be introducing policies to disallow foreign land ownership from now on (this is common to a lot of countries, so not a wholesale killer of foreign investment). That will mean gradual disinvestment by foreign nationals, and bring the land back into the countries usage.

Another method which isn't as damaging is to increase taxes on un-farmed land. This encourages farming, and discourages holding onto land for pure hunting purposes.

Thoughts?
