Lagging behind neighboring Zimbabwe, South Africa has infamously managed to only redistribute about 10 percent of the land back to Black Africans since the ending of Apartheid. South African Contributor Daniel Sincuba writes of this ongoing injustice here: Many in the Black community have expressed a sadness surrounding the failure of the ANC to produce much of what was promised by the liberation heroes, yet still, the ANC maintains an overwhelming majority of voter support in any case. An easy way to put things in to perspective is to ask: Should Black Africans remain pitiable plebs scrounging for breadcrumbs off Master and Neo-Master’s tables in Africa or must there be redress so that they can take their rightful place at the table? Because with the current situation, with liberal democracy private property is the way the game is played, meaning there is a master (or owner) and slaves (laborers who are often paid well below the minimum wage in South Africa, especially on farms) who are almost always Black. Do you think it is time South Africans take a Mugabe-like approach in solving the deep discrepancy of land ownership between Blacks and Whites? And if not, what is the solution?
