South Africa: White farmers will be removed from their land after a landslide vote in parliament

The country's constitution is now likely to be amended to allow for the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation, following a motion brought by radical Marxist opposition leader Julius Malema. It passed by 241 votes for to 83 against and the policy was a key factor in new president Cyril Ramaphosa's platform after he took over from Jacob Zuma in February 2018. Malema said that the time for reconciliation is over.
