In my opinion there is a great misunderstanding about this issue and I reckon that's due to 2 reasons. Mostly because little detail has been released by the government and sensationalism perpetuated by the media. People are very very worried about it with some saying, obviously, that it's going to lead to civil war which I don't think it will.
IMO and understanding no one's primary place of residence is going to be taken away. Their farm or farms, yes, if it qualifies but the farmer and his family will not be left homeless or without the means of purchasing a house or residence. And I don't think they're going to say to everyone living in this or that suburb must now hand over their house to a previously disadvantaged person. Although there are people who want that to happen because that is when happened to them in 1912 when THEIR houses were taken away and given or made available for purchase by white people.
So if you are going to buy a house then do yourself a favour and do some research first. Find out if it's in or near an area marked for expropriation.
This issue isn't only a black/white issue. It's a black/black issue. Lots and lots of land is owned by the government that can and should be given to the previously disadvantaged people. But that's not going to happen because that's not the government's intention. When they expropriate land they will (try) keep the land and rent it out. Rent it to the farmer or village for city/town. As they do in KZN. Great swathes of land in KZN are owned by a trust and the dwellers on that land rent it from the trust. I don't recall the name of the trust now but it was on the radio the other day.
