BLF welcomes the fire on Johann Rupert’s family farm

POSTED ON FEBRUARY 7, 2018 BY BLACK FIRST LAND FIRST – We are excited by the news that fire has broken out in some of the farms currently illegally owned by the Rupert family. Black First Land First (BLF) believes that the fire is the retribution by our black God. The fire is just and welcomed.

In May 2017, BLF gave whites until December that year to meet as whites and decide how to return our land. But like the stubborn and arrogant pharaohs of the bible, whites have responded with laughter at our call. We prayed to our black Gods to give us strength, unity and to punish those who stole our land. We prayed for draught and we prayed for fire upon the thieves.

“We must never forget that it has never been the ANC’s plan to remove Zuma‚ hence they are pussyfooting‚” said Holomisa. “In fact we should scrap the state of the nation address (Sona) altogether to avoid a double wastage. Let’s rather focus on the budget and the no confidence debate on Zuma.”

Zuma: "Corruption is at times exaggerated"

Speaking to the News24 following a meeting at the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Zuma said they have adopted a resolution that will see African leaders tackle corruption in all forms.
