PA’s Gayton McKenzie says Ramaphosa ‘stabbed us in the back’ by signing Expropriation Act

Maybe it is a good calculated move by Ramaphosa to lessen the threat by the EFF....he took all Malema`s ammunition away!!! Good move.

I am by no means an admirer of McKenzie, but he almost has a point. Almost, in the sense it's not only Ramasofa who misled us. It is also the DA. Their spineless capitulation on the BELA matter emboldened the ANC. Ramasofa figured that the DA would just sell out DA voters again, as with BELA.

The first people that 'robbed' others of land in southern Africa were the Bantu people moving south from Central and West Africa to my certain knowledge.

Old habits don't die. it seemss CR forgets the ANC is not majotity ruler. That they were humiliated in the election. He arrogantly disrespects the GNU. I hope all the partners in the GNU see this and teach him a lesson.

And all the gnu partners believed Ramaphosa. Eish, you were all conned. The anc do not care about the economy, country or people. Well done Gayton for speaking up against the disrespect shown to the gnu partners.

Ramaphosa and the ANC are arrogant. Simply get used to it. Any agreement or deal with the ANC is worthless. They are not in a GNU they are simply doing out a few positions , like giving kids candy to keep them quiet, or voters grants to get them to the polls.

Clearing house, here we come. A place for parties in the GNU to kiss and make up.

Minister McKenzie, land expropriation started long before the Portuguese reached Southern Africa. Study the rock art, the archeological record especially, DNA etc. It started with the arrival of Bantu speakers from up North, their cattle, domesticated Bos taurus and Bos indica, to Khoisan land.

Fully Recognized by Who?

Jissis, I'm a bushman too, but preaching to the choir doesn't help necessarily. Has anyone heard of non-racism? It's apparently an ugly word now. Ek's trots. Let's trot

I was hoping Mr. McKenzie would say something about this whole awful ordeal. I don't yet know whether he's 100% trustworthy, but he seems more so every month. I hope he keeps this up, I'd like to vote for PA in 2026/27 and in 2029's general election.

Actually no. Land dispossesion started with Bantu expansion, where they dispossessed the local Khoisan in the East. This comment will probably not be allowed because truth is politically incorrect nowadays

Uncle Cyril is running the gnu-ship on the rocks. He’ll say he (the anc) tried but the DA et al didn’t want to cooperate. Only to immediately invite the MK to a final looting spree, before we become Zim forever.. And, sadly, it looks like no one will stop him..

The Bushman own the land, if the premise of the first to be anywhere owns it. The Bush man own the land. But the reality of land ownership is that no one owns the land. It's on loan from mother earth, whilst we destroy it. It's the only home we have take care of it.

There's a very simple answer Minister McKenzie. The PA should stop being the ANC's court jesters and stop aligning with them at all levels starting with local government in towns like Knysna where the tame "Boesman" empowers the ANC corruption.

What I find ludicrous is the DA, PA etc thinking the anc will work with and respect them... The anc is interested in one thing only... raiding the fiscus and self enrichment. Aided by the NPA not one implicated in State capture has prosecuted. Call for a vote of no confidence in CR17

Does this new Act mean Ingonyama Trust's land and 89% of tribal land in the Eastern Cape will be expropriated as it is some of the most arable and fertile land in SA being extremely underutilized?

When Jan van Riebeeck arrived in what is now Cape Town, the estimated population of what is now western and northern Cape was about 70,000 humans. Mostly remnants of us Bushmen, driven south and west by the Bantu invasion, and the Khoe-Khoe or strandlopers, who also herded goats.

At least he says it as it is the anc overstepped their bounds in the present govt its like they are happy to destroy what is left of SA.

The Khoisan sit with the same problem as the Australian, New Zealand, US and Canadian first peoples - to acknowledge them means the admission that they are the true owners of the land and that just doesn't suit the narrative of the invaders. Black and white.

What land where is being expropriated? More details please.

No need to get agitated about a bill which is being referred to the Constitutional Court. The parts that are unconstitutional will be struck off and the rest will remain. If none is struck off then the ANC was correct is signing it into law as it is consistent with SA's Constitution. Quite simple.

In Rhodesia, farms that were going concerns were taken over, farmers evicted. The new owners killed the cattle (used for breeding), had a party, destroyed the hones, left the crops to rot. Today Zimbabwe is in the toilet. Do much for land expropriation. It adds to poverty, because of mismanagement.

And yes I'm well aware Noel that Khoe-Khoe and bushman blood is very much still alive. Here I am from the 1820 settler battles against the Bantu tribes, where my bushman ancestors fought together with my English ancestors. And apparently made love in war.

Just random stuff. Has anyone heard of Hottentots Holland? There's a mountain range etc. The "Hottentots" was from Dutch hoet-en-toots, or something like that, but meaning "stutterer". Because when the Dutch first met my people, all they heard were clicks. We are stutterers.

Dont leave to GNU be smarter its what the ANC wants... Try to get as much evidence on corruption while there try fix a few things even without ANC consent beat them at their game dont take it personal even "only" with sports and culture you do more in one day than ANC in a lifetime Min Mackenzie

The argument about the 1st Afrucans to arrive in SA is only aimed to trivializing land distribution. It is important that African exclusion to land is resolved. The land is an African land, and whether it's Khoi, San or Nguni that claims it, is the rightful person

If the illogical reasoning here that Africa belong to the Africans only, hold water, I suggest you demand all Africans on other continents return to this poverty and mismanaged continent. You'll hear complaints and giggles, that's all. Europeans brought the here...
