@moreki_mo @Our_DA Shame Mo, you're deeply hurt. This is politics, bro. Anything is possible and you've to prepare yourself for any eventuality in politics. Numbers, political interests, and ideologies define the outcome.

@MbalulaFikile Ask yourself why this black vote fragments. The ANC itself created this situation by failing to respond to the needs of the people. Give people what they want and they will vote for the ANC.

@ManziniZungu_ If I were the ANC, I would play away from coalition discussions and take the opposition benches. This will allow them time to rebuild the party from bottom up.

@NeilColemanSA This is a highly informative and insightful analysis.

@NalaThokozane This system was designed pre-1994 to bring about this type of outcome we are witnessing today.

@SABCNews How does this benefit South Africa?

[#Saucepreneur @PokaneLeluma]

@CapricornFMNews The fact is we don't want Lt. General Mkhwanazi to be moved from where he is currently unless if he becomes the Deputy NC or the actual NC when Lt. General Masemola retires.

According to former Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke and prominent legal scholar Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, the Constitution of South Africa and its existing legal frameworks have never been the barrier to land reform; instead, the failure lies entirely with the government's lack of political will, corruption, and administrative incompetence.

Both legal minds have argued extensively that Section 25 of the Constitution (the property clause) provides all the necessary power to achieve radical land redistribution, but those powers were simply never utilized effectively by the state.
Key Arguments by Dikgang Moseneke and Tembeka Ngcukaitobi

1. The Constitution is an Enabler, Not a Barrier
Expropriation without compensation was always possible: Both scholars have pointed out that Section 25 never strictly demanded "market-value" compensation.

The Constitution requires compensation to be "just and equitable," which allows for zero compensation in specific, justifiable circumstances.

The legal tools existed: The state always had the constitutional mandate to expropriate land for public interest and land reform, but it chose a slow, market-dependent "willing buyer, willing seller" policy instead.

2. Government Dereliction of Duty

Failure to pass enabling legislation: For over two decades, the ANC-led government failed to pass a clear Expropriation Act that defined exactly how and when land could be taken for redistribution.

Budgetary starvation: Land reform was never given top financial priority. The budget allocated to land reform and restitution has historically been less than 1% of the national budget.

3. Corruption and Elite Capture
Farms given to the politically connected: Instead of redistributing land to the poor, farm workers, or labor tenants, many state-acquired farms were allocated to wealthy politicians, state officials, and politically connected elites.

The "bureaucratic mess": The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform has been plagued by corruption, missing records, and syndicates that inflated land prices to enrich government officials and corrupt sellers.

4. The Failure of Land Restitution

Unresolved claims: Decades after the 1998 deadline for lodging land claims, hundreds of thousands of claims remain unresolved due to state inefficiency.

Collapsing projects: In cases where land was restored to communities, the state failed to provide post-settlement agricultural support, capital, or training, causing many commercial farms to collapse financially.

Summary of the Debate
When the government initiated debates to amend the Constitution to allow for "expropriation without compensation," Moseneke, Ngcukaitobi, and other legal analysts argued that amending the text was a political scapegoat.

They maintained that changing the wording of the Constitution would not magically fix a broken, corrupt, and incompetent state bureaucracy.

@DailyInvestorSA The timing of his statement is questionable

@JasonHeppl6644 @kalliekriel @PresidencyZA It is not even about blame games, from my perspective. It's more about economic matrices that require some form of rebalancing for more people to participate in the productive sectors of the economy and create reasonable wealth for their families.

@jean07374036943 @kalliekriel @PresidencyZA Okay

@MbalulaFikile Your party creates socioeconomic problems by failing to implement policy and celebrates a two month temporary solution. This is appalling.
