I don’t know the specifics of this South African law, but isn’t it basically punishing today’s landowners for the wrongs of their ancestors? And they’re taking over land without compensation? That’s nuts! Here in my country, land is only expropriated without payment when the owner uses it for illegal drugs like marijuana.
Apartheid in South Africa ended in 1990. This is not a “sins of my ancestors” moment. And before the end they tried to get more and more violent towards the black population.
