The last 2 weeks the controversial topic of land expropriation without compensation has been much debated. For years the ANC/EFF have been misleading the public and the international community with misleading statements that whites own 80% of the land. In November 2017 the Land Audit Report of land ownership was released.
If you look at the real figures about REAL LAND OWNERSHIP it is undeniably clear and very apparent that there is a more sinister motive behind the whole issue about the much debated land issue. The ANC/EFF is deliberately misleading its citizens on land ownership.

Cyril Ramaphosa was immediately hailed as a breath of fresh air after the decade-long Jacob Zuma debacle. The nation forgot, or ignored, his role in Marikana while his prowess as a businessman was lauded. A sensible, urbane politician who would save the economy.
His recent Cabinet reshuffle, however, reveals much of the same. The executive remains bloated and, with cronies retaining influence, his reputation for clean governance is shaken. The national conversation, however, has swung to expropriation without compensation.

These objectives cannot be achieved without a robust foreign policy that focuses on economic diplomacy.
