Expropriation of land without compensation, this is a matter of civil war. Taking something from somebody without payment could mean that you are provoking people to war. Why then after having a peaceful democracy, only to enter into a blood bath process?

South Africans, you cannot expropriate land or farms without compensation, without the Khoisan as official owners of the land. The way the land was taken from the Khoisan was a human violation.
Land was forcefully taken and guns, spears and other forceful approaches were used. Until the Khoisan are consulted and apologised to and engaged with, lies will destroy this country.

Truth will build this country and unity could then allow this nation to build a rainbow nation. The land belongs to the first nation of this country.
The Khoisan have been here well before 20 000 years ago. The title deeds are on the rocks, Khoisan heritage and historical landmarks point out that the land belongs to the Khoisan nation.
Khoisan claiming their heritage will result in all the land being claimed. Political parties and government cannot discuss land without the Khoisan’s final say.
Government must speed up returning land to the Khoisan to allow a peaceful land process. The main focus is food security, job creation and allowing those that work the land to be protected and promoted. Those that farm our land must be protected and promoted despite race.
Our country needs this approach, let us unite.
