Return land to restore people’s dignity, says Ramaphosa

[Binary_Bark]

President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for the land in South African to be returned to the indigenous people as part of the restoration of their heritage and identity because by being stripped of their land by colonisers, they were stripped of their identity.
“Land must be returned. Our people were stripped of our land,” said Ramaphosa.

The president announced that all the 23,000 public schools in the country would be offering African languages by the end of next year and sign language would in future be declared as the 12th official language.
“Our parliament has also been asked to elevate sign language to the status of an official language,” he said.

Addressing the Heritage Day celebrations at Mxolisi Jacobs Stadium in Upington in Northern Cape yesterday, Ramaphosa said: “Every single language spoken in this country has equal value and equal worth.

I don't think you understand what "dignity" means.

 

[thestaggy]

Dumb fvck.

Like the good people of Zimbabwe

 

[ToxicBunny]

Oh piss off Cyril.

People don't need land to have dignity. They need a country that is growing and gives them opportunities to improve their lot in life.

Remember though, Trump is the racial nationalist.

The Khoisan must be overjoyed.

Weren't schools supposed to be offering Mandarin a few years back?

 

[BBSA]

And tomorrow this genius will be shocked that our economy is not growing and tax collection is down.

Hey Cyril.... here's my version of the 12th official language

Wait shouldn't any of the Bantu's start heading North and start claiming their lands? I'm sure the other Africans on there will gladly give it up.

Return land to restore people’s dignity

Makes me wonder if the farmers are going to start dropping truck loads of soil on the union buildings lawns...

 

[MrGray]

I paid for my land fair and square with my sweat, blood and tears. The only way these thieves will get it is when they pry the title deed from my cold, dead hands. And that is how I will preserve MY dignity.

More meaningless piffle from the Ruling Idiots.

The ANC knows it is crumbling, and thus: welcome to populism.

Land must be returned. Our people were stripped of our land

The kings have their land back /end

There were like 3.5mill blacks back in 1904. Those bartered away their land for cows and trinkets. Now there are 40mill+. If you breed your way into poverty and continue the cycle and make it worse then that's your own fault.

If population numbers were a measure of a species/groups success, like in nature, then blacks in this country are thriving.

The RND crowd seem to have gone into hiding.
