Lessons for SA? Zimbabwe and Venezuela back-pedal on Socialism
While Zimbabwe works to reverse the massive economic damage wrought by ruinous land grabs in the Mugabe era, South Africa’s leadership is champing at the bit to barrel down a very similar path. Legal expert Dr Anthea Jeffery warns that the Land Expropriation Bill is not as benign as it seems. Once Dr Jeffery peels back the layers of the Bill, it becomes clear that private land isn’t the only asset which could be seized. The plans for expropriation will have far-reaching effects, with the potential to collapse South Africa’s financial services sector, says Gabriel Crouse. The Free Market Foundation adds its voice to the growing chorus, urging the government to learn from the mistakes in Zimbabwe and Venezuela, as they face the realities of failed Socialism. – Melani Nathan
