Another example. Venezuela was the richest country in central America in the 1980s. Similar to what the ANC currently argues, Venezuela's regime at the time argued that it would take"under-utilised" land into ownership without compensation in order to increase"food production" and ensure"economic progress".
The fact that AfriForum is fighting expropriation without compensation in no way implies that it is opposed to land restitution. According to former acting president Kgalema Motlanthe's high-level investigation, this process has failed not because of the constitution's provisions regarding property rights but because of large-scale corruption and the government's lack of executive capacity.
The government is now attempting to cover up its failures by turning to disastrous policies such as expropriation without compensation.
