Land claims, whether legitimate, fraudulent or opportunistic, can cripple farms, businesses and the families that depend on them. Thousands of land transactions, financing applications and plans to develop or expand have been scuttled by land claims, and this has cost South Africa incalculably in terms of jobs and rural development. That is why the family farmer network, the Southern African Agri Initiative (SAAI), decided to publish the largest digital land claims database online. Until now the ANC and Department of Agriculture have done everything possible to keep this information secret, but now the SAAI web page enables users to determine their land claim status in about 20 seconds!

Communism FAILS Again! Another ANC BEE Milk Farm Collective Ends in Disaster, Despite (or Because?) R43 Million of Our Taxes Being Given To Them!

Hundreds of cows dying from neglect has been termed “a challenge” by the MEC for Agriculture in the Eastern Cape, Nonkqubela Pieters. What normal people would call animal abuse, the socialists (sociopaths?) call a challenge? It is becoming patently clear that Ramaphosa’s “our people” simply cannot, or do not want to farm, they just want the cash handouts and free stuff that comes with all these disastrous virtue seeking schemes. The milk farm financed by the state to the tune of R43 million, as a much publicised empowerment project for “our people”, has collapsed in the Eastern Cape, leaving most of the cows dead and not much going on besides the odd sickly cow wandering about.
ANC’s proposed land grab program is leaving SA farmers uncertain – concern that land will be given to disadvantaged and agricultural production will decline

In recent months, it has become quieter regarding how the government is going to progress with its land grab program while the focus is currently more on the ANC divisions.
Farmers across South Africa’s main concern is that land will be made available to the disadvantaged and instead of increased agricultural production, a drastic decline will occur.
And if the increase in theft continues to spread and farmers’ livelihoods are threatened by violence coming from these disadvantaged circles this could lead to farms being unsustainable.
The doubt for farmers about the situation now leaves many of them looking elsewhere for better “pastures”. Farmers in the old Transvaal province say the possibility of going elsewhere in Africa is one option, but Australia and Georgia are also enticing possibilities.
