South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!

Dear @POTUS
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT
I'd like to refer you to the case of Akkerland where the South African government seized its first white-owned farm (a vast hunting reserve), from Johan Steenkamp and Arnold Cloete, co-owners of the Akkerland Boerdery hunting farm in the Limpopo province.
They were ordered to hand over their land after talks to buy it at a 10th of the price broke down.
Cyril Ramaphosa, told a farmers' conference shortly after that "land reform" was necessary to "correct a past wrong".
Steenkamp and Cloete asked for 200 million rands ($20.8m) for their reserve but were only offered 20m rands ($2.08m).
A letter sent to the company earlier in that year said:
"Notice is hereby given that a terrain inspection will be held on the farms on April 5, 2018, at 10am to conduct an audit of the assets and a handover of the farm's keys to the state."
The farm took out an urgent injunction to prevent eviction but the Department of Rural Development and Land Affairs refused his application.
Steenkamp said that the decision was made on "very short notice" during a public holiday.
He said he was given notice to hand the keys over to his farm within seven days.
IMPORTANT:
What makes the Akkerland case unique is that they were not allowed to first dispute the claim in court, as the law requires.
Do not let them tell you farms are not being seized.
Investigate the Akkerland case.
There were allegations the mining corporation Coal of Africa may be behind the expropriation action, and that this has nothing to do with historical land reform, and everything to do with mining.

@Vhoyde Aren’t you embarrassed to show everyone that you failed the 30% mark? Selling starlink is not “unrestrained access to South African internet”
Maybe let the adults talk while you stick to what you do best like licking windows or eating crayons
@GadSaad Come to stellenbosch. There’s hundreds of insanely beautiful wine farms. I’ll even show you how South Africans braai. It’s some of the best food you’ll ever have
@That_zar_man@CharlieDance18@Meneer_Mann Aren’t you ashamed to show everyone you failed school? This is a public platform and here you put your 60iq on display for everyone to see.
Quite embarrassing
@JacoKleynhans a small gripe - 120MW is peak power output. If you're measuring "per year" then it would be something like 120MW x 24 x 365 which gives you around 1 TWH for the year, assuming it runs full tilt 24/7, but realistically probably 1/5th of that so 200gwh
Why is my tax money going to people who clearly don’t want it. I’m willing to bet good money that within 5 years this bus station is once again stripped. And once again I will have to pay for it
🚍 The DA-led Cape Town has restored the Kuyasa MyCiTi Station in Khayelitsha. This station, once stripped and destroyed by theft, is now beautifully repaired and upgraded, reflecting our care for residents and commitment to maintaining world-class facilities for all.

@AndyCocaine This is a poor person mentality. In your 20s you buy a cheap reliable car. Cars are not an asset or an investment. When you are very rich one day then you think about a fancy car
