Presidents change but nothing changes
"South African MPs vote for land expropriation
Johannesburg (AFP) - South African lawmakers on Tuesday voted in favour of land expropriation without compensation, one of the thorniest issues to confront the country since the fall of apartheid.
The motion was brought by the radical left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, and was backed by the ruling Africa National Congress (ANC) after amendments.
The parliamentary motion could eventually lead to changes to the constitution over land reform.
New President Cyril Ramaphosa used his first major speech on February 16 to express his support for expropriation without compensation -- as long as it increases food production."
