I'm finalizing revisions on a conditional accept today. In the paper I grapple with segregation and land reform in South Africa. My late advisor, Nic van de Walle, always asked of my work "where's the politics?". To some extent I assumed the politics of race was evident in land in South Africa.

South Africa's Expropriation Act does not constitute anything other than a regular piece of legislation.

The US president has claimed the South African government is seizing land from white farmers. The reality is much more mundane

Has anyone in the US government even read South Africa's Expropriation Act? It starts by reaffirming property rights by citing S.25 of the Constitution. Chapter 5 (p.28) then outlines a comprehensive compensation mechanism for landholder.
