Mbeki questions whether black people really want commercial farms

“Why are you assuming it? It’s very clear to me that there’s huge pressure for land in urban areas. That’s why you find these land occupations. They are not in the rural areas. They’re around the urban areas, and understandably so. So that’s the land matter that has to be addressed.

“The Freedom Charter says the land shall be shared among all those who work it. Why are we departing from that?”Mbeki had earlier said the ANC’s first “strategic task” had been to eradicate the legacy of colonialism and apartheid. “What we need to do now is to have another serious reflection in pursuit of that objective. What is it that we need to do, given our experience of the past 25 years, about the economy, about education, about human settlements, about everything.”

“So they tended to be cautious in terms of their approach to investing in the South African economy. Because something is going to go wrong tomorrow. After all, we are an African country. That’s the argument. It’s more than policy uncertainty. It’s that we are an African country. If you look at the history of the continent, look at what’s happened. That was the argument. Military coups elsewhere, and here we had a smooth transition.
