lol...I want to see how far they get with this.

I don't agree with land claims...You can't go claiming land that your forefathers owned a 100 years ago.

Plus who owned that land before them? as far as I understand the original South Africans are the Koi San people. Maybe the should do a land grab for the whole South Africa

If memory serves, the limit for land claims are any made after 1913.
Partly because of the Native Land Claim Act of 1913. And to stop the Koi laying such a claim.

Yes you can - if it can be shown that apartheid deprived you of land that was rightfully yours, of course you can claim it back.

Also, there is a difference between a land claim and a land grab
 
Comments such as these are precisely why I say some of you don't really care, aprticularly about the future. That's exactly how white people in Zimbabwe reasoned before sh*t hit the storm then they blamed Mugabe not Zimbabweans as a whole.

All of this can be avoided if you all sit down, make sacrifices&compromises and offer a deal to the people via government.

South Africa will be stronger after that. It's a pity becaus eyou think the land occupations which we as the EFF have instituted will not gain momentum.

So much energy and devotion to predicting ANC bungling and how you can reap from stock market, investments, economy in general etc, yet you cannot even reach consensus amongst yourself how to settle things!

Your kids, our kids will suffer in the not to distant future. It's a pity because you think EFF has just a million odd voters so they won't get much support and the ANC govt will apply force and "we'll join them to resist and defend what belongs to us.

Many forget that even the ANC is afraid to allow secret votes in parly becaus ethey know the majority agree with the EFF.

The looting in Soweto and other areas is proof enough that people can do certain things and overwhelm the govt. Police were stretched and even if they tried they were not going to be able to control that. What more when this is to do with land in remote widepsread areas? Watch this space! ;)
 
It is all Jan van Riebeeck's fault.
Zuma said so, so it must be true.
He would NEVER lie to us
 
That's kinda messed up.

Hmm...need to find myself an empowered consortium partner and go land claim the flipping union building and ministerial compounds...

Noting of course that the term Apartheid was not coined at that date yet, and that the 1913 act was a brainchild of the powermongers during the British Union of South Africa, before the Nats had any sway.

Tax was never payed on the land to any government and therefore IMO cannot be claimed or recognized. My land is paid for, taxed and my pistol is clean.

I don't see any basis for linking this to tax except maybe common sense...and if that were the deciding factor then we wouldn't have retarded legislation in place allowing for claims like this.
