Julius Malema admits black didn't come from South Africa
Now this is interesting given the bill that has recently passed that allows confiscation of farmland without compensation. If I understand the story correctly Julius Malema was the one pushing the ANC really hard for this bill and saying the whites stole the land from blacks.Now this is where it gets interesting. It seems blacks are still moving to South Africa from other less fortunate countries in Africa, and not being welcomed in by some of the blacks that are already there. In fact some are being murdered because their accent gives away their origins. Well Julius Malema is trying to stop the murders and grow his political support by gathering these newcomers into his camp. In an effort to do so he is trying to get the blacks that have been there from attacking the newly immigrated. Which leads to this. He recently gave a speech admitting that all the Bantu people there were not native to that part of Africa.
Instead of me rambling on about a subject I have only heard about, I'll provide a link to an interesting video on the subject. I admit I don't know much about Willem Petzer who makes videos on youtube, but he uses actual footage of Ju;ius Malema speeches to make his point. I doubt this will have much effect on the new law, but it is worth watching IMO.

Silly me, it is the usual myopia where people conveniently overlook the facts and, as in this case, even try to rewrite history.
Unfortunately the Brittish messed it all up by changing borders and causing a couple of more wars in order to expand their territory. The previous government tried to rectify it by buying out white farmers and giving the land back to the black traditional leaders. There were homelands for all the different tribes. That land is still in their hands. Blacks can live there but they can't own the land as it belongs to the chiefs and kings. As none of the land in black hands are registered in individuals names it distorts the figures when it comes to who owns what percentage of the land. If you exclude the homelands and land belonging to government then whites have most of the land. That is the lie they are feeding the world.
Millions were paid out to people claiming land and then rather want money than the land they claimed. The ones who were stupid enough to take the land can't get it registered in their names so they are basically tenant on their own land. The small percentage of black land owners bought their farms themselves. So it is true that only 2% of blacks own land as the rest can't get ownership of the land they are living on.
This was the general consensus when I was growing up. It is so much more intricate and needs so much study of the actual history. Elkself, Miwagi, and others living in S.Africa seem to know about the tribal situation and you certainly won't get the facts from Fox News or most Newspapers.
Many thanks for this great blog and the others here on the blogs written about South Africa.
Very very interesting and like the saying says 'things are not always as they seem'.
At one time billions of years ago this earth was one solid mass.
I said I was out of the loop!

This is Boet Smal. He was murdered during a #FarmAttack last night close to Heidelberg in Gauteng. He was stabbed in his head and chest. His wife, Esther, was stabbed in the back when she tried to run from the attackers.
It is the thing,the " race card".Another alternative is the " victim card".
The bloggers so far, who have done us all a service; stating history,links and personal aspects in lieu of pointless defensiveness or counter challenges comments.
Thank you for the much needed clarity on this important global subject,devoid any emotional outbursts.This is not a stretch for writers,and I for one could not articulate on this subject as well as your have done here.
It is clear that if you have immigrated to a country,or were brought to it as a child then it skews your perception if you want to identify with the nation.The "melting pots " clearly can not be equated with each other historically but the human need for acceptance,unity and respect is prevalent.
Again,thanks to those who's blogs comments acknowledge the means of coexistence, and are not divisive.
Thanks again for responding to the " victim card" played here in an enlightened manner.

I was thinking about your comparing the power (corruption) within prison,to the corruption(power) outside of it.
I could throw out the absolute power quote here but it is CS Blogland that I am framing my comments with;
