Author and activist says corruption and failure to speed up land restitution to blame

“I am personally very sympathetic with the ANC position during the transition. That is where my sympathy ends. After that, there is a period in which we acquired enough political power, military power and police power. But what did we do? That is where we squandered freedom and also squandered the possibility of freedom for young people coming after us,” Ngcukaitobi said.

He said one of government’s land reform programmes was restitution, designed to ensure 5-million South Africans who were forcefully removed from their land as a result of the Native Land Act get their land back or receive compensation. Ngcukaitobi said following the negotiations that led to SA’s first democratic elections in 1994, people wanted to know what settlement the ANC and other political parties reached with the former white government on the issue of land reform.

Ngcukaitobi said the former president explained that the liberation movement negotiators were not in a position of power.

The ANC had a chance to fix land issues but squandered freedom, says advocate Thembeka NgcukaitobiThe ANC-led government had an opportunity after 1994 to address land reform but a number of factors, including corruption and failure to speed up land restitution for five million affected people, meant the country was far away from ensuring land redress. Julius_S_Malema has a plan 👌 Waiting for land reform under anc led government is like Waiting for the coming of Jesus You know Ngcukaitobi is a hired gun through his naive insistence that over 300yrs LAND dispossession can be solved by a 1994 colonial constitution which says African victims must pay Billions of Rands to European invaders & thieves if they want their Land back.

Pity this article doesn’t list the huge amounts stolen from on the land reform budget and the utter failure of 99% of land reform projects. My next door neighbours farm was bought by the Minister of Agriculture and given to one family, his. It now lies totally underutilize.
