document.write("The ANC are a fat black bull in a china shop and there is nothing to stop them now.  They have their majority and no one to hold them back, now they can do whatever they please whenever it pleases them despite economic consequence.  They will disband the scorpions against all good sense and public outcry because they stand in the way of the ANC's thievery.  They will pass the expropriation bill which allows them to grossly undervalue farms so they can take them away and give them to well behaved ministers, just like Bob Mugarbage did.<br />Maybe I should start thinking of leaving again, this country is headed for certain failure with this sort of rampant abuse of power, it has no future.<br />Get out while you still can...<br />.

document.write("<h5>SMELL THE IMPENDING ROT</h5>");
document.write("The ANC is trying to pick up votes for the upcoming elections. So they harp on the same old themes such as \"land disribution\" which is actually land theft in disguise. If you abandon the free market principles of  price determination, you also destroy the tested economic priciples of return on capital. You make a scarce resource worthless by taking away its intrisic value. Consider it this way. Why<br />would a successfull farmer, who is a businessman in the full sense of the word, go to the trouble of investing in new farmland, or at minimum, invest in his existing farm to icrease its yield of crop, when he fears that he may lose his investment as a result of land distribution. Going further, how would an ill equipped \"emerging\" farmer who gets land for free be able to sustain it? He doesn't understand the principles of creating and growing wealth - the driving forces behind capitalism. So he gets a portion of a highly productive farm for free. He has limited access to new capital, and if he gets that for free as well, or at a highly subsidised rate, how can he ascess if he is in fact employing such capital and the scarce resource he now owns, productively? He doesn't. He may produce at a subsistence level and provide enough for himself and his family - for now. But what about tomorrow - when his extended family has grown - what then? And what about the people that erst-while relied on the surplus food that came from the soil he now occupies. Were will they get their food from? By importing it? Hell, almost a third of the world population is starving as it is. People like Gwede Mantashe and his ilk are just a bunch of power-hungry incompetents who by their ill-advised intentions will slaughter the goose that lies the golden eggs, just to stuff their gravy filled stomaches for tonight. <br />Listen up. The world is on the brink of a recession that may deteriorate into a full blown depression. Let your shallow minds project forward as to how you are gouing to deal with this fast approaching crisis.<br />no amount of political clap-trap or lies to your uninformed supporters is going to put food to their tables. And hey, we cant join the rest of the starving beggars in Africa - the post financial crisis will neither have the funds or the resources to help destitude Africa. So wake up and smell the impending rot.  . Jonathan");

document.write("Are they so stupid that they are prepared to sell the country down the tubes as mugabe did. There is plenty of free land available but they are too lazy and ignorant to develop it. They want everything ready made for people to squat on.<br />They must be carefull they don't start a revolution which will eventually backfire on them as it currently is now politically.. Blaze");
document.write("<h5>Land grabs.</h5>");
document.write("Land that is given to people for cultivation should be monitored. If it isn't used properly, give it to someone else. Those that support the ANCs policies should take an aerial tour of farms and land that has been re-distributed. There are some successful farms but very very few. Look North and learn.. David");
document.write("<h5>Land distribution/the big front?</h5>");
document.write("Because of the communist philosiphy,(The first statement in the communist manifesto is NO private ownwership of land.)Land must be taken from the haves and distributed<br />to the havenots,what is hidden is that the land will belong to the state, leaving the person on the land,little more than than a peon,being told what to to with it for the good of the state.(sounds feudal does it not?)Comming a lot sooner than anyone thinks to an area very close by you.. Think about it (very well)");
