History is full of misfortune. The ways in which jurisdictions have been created around the globe is the results of war. Much unnecessary abuse....much wasted life.
South Africa is in a conflicted state of mind.
Many people stuck in the past about blaming the "whites".
Yes - it was "white" people.
Are people still currently divided by color?
Does keeping a color divide in 2018 solve anything.
How long must we hold onto the past? How long must we be "correcting" the past? What will future generations say about the generations here today?

Land Expropriation without Compensation
Land Expropriation without Compensation - Response
Point of Regard:
Looks like a land grab for the government.
I don't think it's really about helping the poor. Seems more like justifying the need for government force to protect the people from each other by stimulating a very primitive and immature divide that goes back a long time. If anything this reflects poorly on South African Government.
Part of the reason there's so much poverty in Africa is because of Government corruption and poor levels of education.
With the rise of cryptocurrencies and open source fund raising, I speculate that South Africa and other countries which are regarded as "third world"...will in fact undergo a sort of flippening and become the emerging "bread baskets" in the world.
There will be peaks and valleys...just like the process journey of Bitcoin and Co..
The time is ripe with opportunity for venture capitalists and visionary entrepreneurs.
Let's let go of the past. Let's forgive the sins of our forefathers. Let's create a sort of "do over". Enough is enough with all the bullshit of the past.
Nobody here today was here way back when....we've just kind of carried on in various ways...justifying these kinds of "separations" as class's of people. It's immature. It's dumb. Reality is we are One species of Human. Like it or not, we are all here....time to get amicable about our co-existence.
Additional Info - Sourced on the issue:
CAPE TOWN — If ever you wanted to test your taste buds on a socialist land policy that is more twisted than a cholesterol-bomb koeksister, pray read on. Here Institute of Race Relations policy fellow, Terence Corrigan, unravels the economic health threat of the ANC’s recent endorsement of land expropriation without compensation. He then juxtaposes that with the insane historical and topical caveats sprinkled on this tempting populist treat. Caveats so nonsensical that one can only consider that the policy itself is – like Bob Mugabe’s use of it to entrench his dictatorship – is designed for abuse by an all-powerful state that can dispense of and expropriate land at will, rendering mostly its governors morbidly obese. We cannot afford the time it will take to kill off the major beneficiaries of this policy because it will starve the masses and impoverish the rest of us. Endangering food security for short-term political gain as a political elite continues on zig-zag Zuptoid course is nothing less than irrational. – Chris Bateman
