EU plans a billion dollar package despite alarming violence against white farmers!
Südafrika - In South Africa, a controversial expropriation law is currently being discussed that enables ownership transfers in the public interest. The law, which was recently signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, allows expropriations without complete compensation. This measure is part of a decades of process to overcome historical property in the country, which has gained intensity in recent years. However, the political debate is characterized by tensions, especially after various political parties, including the Democratic Alliance and the Freedom Front Plus, have announced legal steps against the law. At the same time, different reviews of the law have developed within the government coalition.
Despite the legal complications and the demands for further consultations, many international observers fear that the law could deter foreign investments. The German Chamber of Commerce has already become caution and recommends that German citizens who want to invest in South Africa to obtain legal advice and to develop flexible exit strategies.
EU investments under criticism
In the middle of these developments, the EU Commission plans an investment package of 4.7 billion euros for South Africa. This has led to sharp criticism, especially by the MEP Siegbert Droese (AfD). He describes the financial support as a scandal and calls for an immediate stop of all EU investments as long as the expropriation measures and the reported acts of violence against white farmers persist. Droese emphasizes that international human rights organizations warn of systematic violence against the white minority in South Africa, including serious crimes such as torture and murder. Despite these alarming reports, the South African government and the EU show no clear reaction.The media representation of this situation in Europe is also criticized by Droese. He believes that reporting does not reflect the urgency of the problems and calls for an open conviction of the expropriation law.
The reality of the land reform
The land reform in South Africa has been in a permanent crisis since the end of apartheid. Although, according to experts, the original goal was to convert 30 percent of the commercially used agricultural land in the first five years, only a fraction - about 5.46 percent - was actually redistributed. This leads to a debate about the slow pace of land transmission as well as fundamental questions about the necessary reforms that could address a fairer distribution of land ownership, the creation of jobs and improve the livelihood of people.
The political pressure to solve this crisis increases. Among other things, a possible change in the constitution is discussed in order to specify the blurred text of the property clause. The supporters of these changes, such as the Economic Freedom Fighters (Eff) under Julius Malema, demand radical land reforms and urge expropriation without compensation. These developments could further tighten the already complex political and economic situation in South Africa.
Overall, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop around the expropriation law and what effects this could have on domestic stability as well as on international relationships and investments.
