Is there method in this madness? It is easy to see that the policies proposed are unconstitutional, ill-advised, impractical and in many cases simply impossible to implement. But why are they on the books in the first place? Why is the ruling party apparently set on enacting them? Why the railroading of objections and the riding roughshod over the protests of rural people themselves, white and black? What’s happened to our democratic policy process?
You'd be wrong, this paragraph talks about the "sheaf of controversial new legislation and proposals by the Minister of Land Reform and Rural Development" .
Does this ring a bell when you look at any new piece of legislation
what distinguishes Gugile Nkwinti (and, arguably Jacob Zuma) from their predecessors. While previous ministers of Land Affairs have at times been very unclear about how to exercise the pro-poor mandate of their department, Nkwinti has abandoned the rural poor in favour of the elite.
It should. The revised codes are there to serve the elite (African race) and them only.
This is a feature of Zuma's government. Retardation of growth, political opportunism and complete lack of competence and thought. It's my contention that they don't care about what they pass, what they do know is that a small percentage of what they pass will be challenged in the Constitutional Court.
Devoid of braincells more like. But this isn't funny, it impacts seriously on us. Not just the wealthy, everyone. And they don't give a fuck.
Why the hell do we?
