Namibia plans white land seizures

Namibia will start to forcibly take land from white farmers to give to landless blacks, the government says.

Prime minister Theo-Ben Gurirab said in a national address that land reform had to be speeded up but it would remain orderly and peaceful.

The government has so far only purchased land from farmers who wish to sell for redistribution to some 240,000 people waiting to be settled.

About 4,000, mostly white, farmers own almost half of Namibia's arable land.

Mr Gurirab did not give details of how many farms would be seized or when the programme would start.

However, he said the farmers would be fairly compensated.

Op zich kan ik het hier wel mee eens zijn. Alleen moeten ze het wel aan mensen geven die er wat mee kunnen. Als het land net als in Zimbabwe niet meer gebruikt wordt dan kunnen ze het beter laten zoals het is.
