The President of the United States threatened to stop transfers in the country
The president of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa contrasted the threats of the American agent Donald Trump to stop financial aid to the country and denied that the government confiscated the earth.
In his X profile, Ramaphosa said that South Africa is a “constitutional democracy deeply rooted in the state of law, justice and equality”.
“The South African government has not confiscated any land. The recently adopted expropriation law is not a confiscation tool, but a legal and constitutionally mandatory process that guarantees public access to the earth in a fair and fair way”, added the president .
According to Ramaphosa, several countries, including the United States, “have always had expropriation laws that balance the need for public use of the earth and the protection of the rights of the owners”. “We can’t wait to commit ourselves with the Trump government on our agricultural reform policy and issues of bilateral interest,” he said.
Also according to the president, the only US resources received from South Africa are intended for an AIDS initiative that corresponds to 17% of the country’s program against HIV.
The position comes after Trump announced that he would interrupt the transfers to South Africa, who accused of “confiscating the earth and of having taken care of some classes of people very badly”.
The magnate’s statements refer to the complex agricultural reform in the African country, where the racist policies of apartheid deprived blacks from their land and gave them to the white minority, a situation that is reflected to date.
From democratization, in the 90s, the national constitution has an article on redistribution and return of these areas. In January, Ramaphosa sanctioned a law that establishes new guidelines for the expropriation of the earth, including the possibility of doing it without compensation, as in the event of rendering or risks for people.
