EFF, SACP lash US's Pompeo over his criticism of land expropriation

The EFF said Pompeo’s comments were a senseless warning while the SACP viewed his comments as an attack on the SA government’s plan to achieve equitable land redistribution.

Pompeo made the comments at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, yesterday. He said that SA was planning on expropriating private property and that such a move had proven to be a dismal failure in other African countries such Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Ethiopia. The EFF spokesperson Vuyani Pambo said his remarks sought to maintain the US as the world’s super economy.

“Pompeo’s utterances are consistent with the imperialist logic that seeks to parent the world, so as to maintain its firm grip as a superpower that holds policy direction for all nations subservient to it,” Pambo said. The government is seeking to amend section 25 of the constitution to allow for land to be expropriated without compensation.This would be done in order to address the historic dispossession of land belonging to black by white people at the barrel of a gun, which, to date still remains in their hands.The official opposition party, the DA, has opposed the bill – out for public comment – saying that it was unclear on property that that has been established on land that would be expropriated.

Judging by the number “foreign power” was mentioned during the realDonaldTrump impeachment trial & Americans disdain for it. How would US deal with afriforum if they were US citizens seeking Assistance from a SecPompeo of a foreign power to threaten to destabilize US. Treason

He's just giving the facts. He does not make the rules.

Do they really think they will just walk into Kobus and Gert's farm and take it away without a fight? Oh wait a minute so white developers who built residential complexes will also be affected? I see war in SA!

This land issue it will bring nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat in our country as much people claimed to be more interested in it most of them have no plans or no idea what are they going to do with it when they finally get it its just politics playing with people's lives

I’m sure Mr Pompeo is devastated.

The SACP's and EFF's worst fear is prosperity for the masses. It will render their existence meaningless and deprive them of easy access to wealth.

Pompeo has experience within the largest economy in the world but hey im sure the SACP and EFF know how to do better! They have perfect role models like Mugabe and Gadaffi.

Yes it will be

Siestog shame

I wish this F...k would go back to where he ran to!
