This is not freedom of expression, it hate speech
I was reading one of the newspapers and came accross the story about Julius Malema (ANCYL President), he says, 'unrespectful', "landowners who refuse amounts offered during expropriation should have their land taken away with no payment". What does that means, ANC as a ruling party in our country should think about this statement presented about by their party member. We are South Africans who elected them with our concern, they can't do anyhow or as they think.Perhaps they don't understand what the meaning of "democracy" is, it means we all citizens have a say in our government activities. Malema should be given a lecture on how to speak with people you are governing. The worse part of all, his statement can provoke war bettween the races because he touched back the already forgoten scandal of Eugene Terre'Blanche. He says they would go and take many hectares in his farm and let them not decide payment, but "he" can give them only 2 Million. Remember we are the growing South Africa, by such doing, economically, we can be affected. Zimbabwe lost it backbone of economy by such hate speeches. and most of all in SA we have lost so many companies, flooding to other countries, because doing business in SA land is so expensive. What more if we lose the one we have through this harsh possession of land? What does the SA Act regarding land say? All that must be carefully checked before attempting anything.
