Oh Lord they're going to try and reinstate apartheid in south Africa again aren't they?

The irony here is that land re-appropriation was written into their constitution and Mandela was supposed to move forward with it and never did nearly to the extent that was mandated. So he left that problem for the next generation. I understand that he wanted to move forward with healing the country but it was a band-aid that needed to be ripped off.

Mandela was kind of forced to delay/abandon that part (at least accoring to Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein) because every time he would mention it, the currency traders in London and New York would make the Rand nosedive and immediately lose a bunch of value. That was a massive problem for a country that was trying to maintain itself amid rising costs of borrowing.
