Land redistribution and land restitution have been topics of debate in Africa for years. The South African Parliament's land committee is holding public hearings for submissions on legislation that will amend Section 25 of the Constitution, to include a clause to allow land expropriation without compensation.
In our program this week we continue looking into the history of land dispossession. We discuss changes the government should implement in the efforts of redistributing land to its people, we also question if the African economy is stable enough to sustain itself when international investors flee during land redistribution.
Nombuyiselo Tango, the co-producer of the program speaks to Professor Sibonginkosi Mazibuki from the University of South Africa, we also speak to Mapule Joseph Makgoba, one of the people trying to regain land belonging to a heritage site in Limpopo, South Africa.
