South Africa's parliament has voted in favour of a motion that will begin the process of amending the country's Constitution to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation.The motion was brought by Julius Malema, leader of the radical Marxist opposition party the Economic Freedom Fighters, and passed overwhelmingly by 241 votes to 83 against. The only parties who did not support the motion were the Democratic Alliance, Freedom Front Plus, Cope and the African Christian Democratic Party.It was amended but supported by the ruling African National Congress and new president Cyril Ramaphosa, who made land expropriation a key pillar of his policy platform after taking over from ousted PM Jacob Zuma earlier this month."The time for reconciliation is over. Now is the time for justice," Malema was quoted by News24 as telling parliament. "We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land."According to Bloomberg, a 2017 government audit found white people owned 72 per cent of farmland in South Africa...ANC rural affairs minister Gugile Nkwinti added: "The ANC unequivocally supports the principle of land expropriation without compensation. There is no doubt about it, land shall be expropriated without compensation."
The new Zimbabwe? The last Zimbabwe hasn't turned out so well.
South Africa: the next African shithole.

More like, "Now is the time for revenge." If this becomes law, and the government implements this policy, the best outcome I predict is that there will be massive white flight from the country, and commercial and governmental institutions that white expertise has been supporting will collapse under the weight of massive incompetence and even more massive corruption. The lesson of Venezuela is that socialism ruins everything it touches.
Call me a racist. I don't care.
The worst outcome: civil war.
