OPINION: The poor cannot eat land UnathiKondile

Floyd Shivambu leans against the wall, staring at the beautiful Port Elizabeth beachfront. There is a look of anxiety mixed with exhaustion. It could be the young lady who keeps asking him "Why should I vote EFF?" or perhaps it could have been the senior ANC members occupying almost every table inside the venue. Eventually, he announced his departure and left.

There is something deeply troubling and disingenuous about anyone who promises anyone else land. Especially here in South Africa. You cannot eat it. You cannot move around with it. Simply put: it requires patience, work and imagination. If you tell me you are hungry right now and I respond with "Here, take this piece of land" will I have solved your problem? Exactly.
