The real enemy isn’t white or black landowners; it’s the elite class, across races, who put profit over people. How you end up despising Africans in this matter vs the pink man is ummmm interesting.
Funny how you take my point and then make it sound like I'm pro mzungu and anti African? That I somehow despise my fellow Africans because I expect much higher standards? When will people move beyond skin color to actual content of character.
As for the “colonialism wasn’t so bad” argument.. let’s be real. Many African leaders have failed their people in many ways, but romanticizing colonialism is revisionist at best.
Now where did I say that colonialism wasn't so bad. Worse, romanticizing it? I only highlighted that the race and tribe mongering politicians after so many decades have proved themselves worse than colonialists. They would rather kill and maim rather than let their own people prosper.

The idea that land reform in South Africa will automatically turn farms into wastelands is the same fear-mongering we saw before Zimbabwe’s land reforms. Yes, Zimbabwe mishandled it, but South Africa isn’t Zimbabwe. The reality is that, decades after apartheid, white farmers still control a disproportionate amount of arable land. Ignoring that and acting like land redistribution is some kind of economic suicide ignores the very real inequality that needs addressing.
You are the one romanticizing things here now. Many of these African politicians that became wealthy through corruption, not free enterprise, and have been ruining the continent for decades have suddenly realized that they need to please their people? They have realized that there's no stopping the coming wave.
 
The Zimbabwean economy collapsed due to sanctions from Anglo-Saxons
Guess who did not suffer from sanctions. The first lady spending money shopping all over Europe, and the kids who spent the stolen wealth throwing wild parties in South Africa becoming fodder for the gossip media.

Even Kenyans at the time thought themselves better than Zimbabweans.


The reason these lands are in demand is because land distribution was skewed in a way that left many people landless, creating a huge demand for residential land. Even as agricultural land is being parceled out for construction, there still are many idle pieces of land that belong to people, on paper, and which cannot be put to use. Just take a map and look around.
Can you please explain this more? There's a huge demand for residential land but many idle pieces on paper which cannot be used?

Up to and even shortly after independence, colonial settlers were arbitrarily granted land parcels to enable them sell or claim compensation later. These parcels were later sold on to land-buying companies and other investors. Many of these pieces remain idle but cannot be used because they belong to some entity on paper. The owners are either waiting to subdivide it among themselves or to sell it on to buyers.
Simply put, the British model of land ownership started a chain of events that arbitrarily granted land ownership rights to a few entities, while ignoring the use rights for the rest of the population.

Interesting info to know.

Are these land buying entities foreign or domestic, and what sizes do they own? Were they covered in the Ndungu land report?
