A communal property association has called on government to urgently intervene to stop violent land grabs of a black-owned farms saying failure to do so will hurt the agriculture sector and put thousands of jobs at risk.
“The perpetrators of this violent and unlawful act are part of the ‘concerned group’ that is attempting to hijack a 7,500 hectare land claim from the Mathulini Communal Property Association and the Ndelo Community Trust, valued in excess of R300m. The farms that make up this land claim produce 400,000 tonnes of sugar cane annually and employ 1 200 people,” said Luthuli.
“We have written to the new minister of agriculture, land reform and rural development, Thoko Didiza, to request that she urgently intervene. As a fresh ministerial appointee with previous experience of such matters, we call on her to stop the violent and illegitimate hijack of this land claim.
Huh?!
Hang on hang on, so only land grabs of “black owned land” will harm the economy? What a load of racist bull!!!!
