The ANC has resolved that it will test the Constitution, as it pertains to land expropriation without compensation.

The party told reporters on Monday that the land summit it hosted over the weekend had resolved that there was nothing wrong with Section 25 of the Constitution, which deals with expropriation with compensation, but that the party needed to address the legislative framework in order to resolve the critical land question.

"The ANC must pass the Expropriation Bill now and insert a clause... that says 'without compensation'," ANC national executive committee member Ronald Lamola said during a briefing at Luthuli House.

The land summit in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni, was held in an attempt to arrive at a united view on how to implement the party's contentious resolution to expropriate land without compensation.

Party leaders have been divided over how the land issue should be dealt with, with some suggesting that the Constitution needed to be amended, while others felt Section 25 of the Constitution was sufficient to allow for redistribution of land without compensation.

Some in the ANC agreed with the EFF's view that all land should belong to the state, and then leased out to people.

In February, Parliament agreed to a motion brought by the EFF to expropriate without compensation, but had tasked a review committee to look into the modalities of doing so.

Lamola told journalists on Monday that the ANC needed to test the legislation, urging the national, provincial and municipal governments, that had powers to expropriate, to go ahead and do so.

"We must look into the possibility of the president taking that bill to the courts, to test out its constitutionality," said Lamola.

They're waiting for the right moment so they can:
1. Cash in from the ZAR going through the floor
2. Ensuring maximum effect with the retards who still vote for them
3. Ensure that the backlash from overseas suits them

It's an old German saying, not really Nazi... Direct translation would be: "Germany, Germany over everything, over everything in the world". Never heard the German football supporters shout: "Deutschland über alles"

The first two stanzas were taken out a long time ago, singing the first stanza is considered quite rude/taboo. Any older Germans I know hear you sing it will get quite angry with you.

No, it's still there, just not for official use iirc. I know only the third verse is officially sung. It's not a Nazi thing, far from it :)

Edit: And yes, blame the Liberals... once again.

In context of how it was written and the World cup coming up. Germany above EVERYTHING!

Up to you mate, but I'm telling you anybody in Germany will consider that a faux pas at a minimum or straight up conclude you've got nazi leanings.
 
Has 'this land' been defined yet, or is it just a convenient term?

If land is the elixir to all our problems in SA, please take it.

I wager not though. Here is 'your' land, now what?
