With South Africa's new President calling for the seizure of land owned by whites since the 1600s in the country to be given to blacks, and neighbouring Zimbabwe already having hamstrung its own agricultural industry through authoritarian black land reform.
When Mr Mugabe started grabbing white-owned commercial farms in 2000, he destroyed far more than a successful agricultural industry. He also smashed what was once one of southern Africa’s most diversified economies. Mining, tourism and manufacturing all collapsed within a few years.

With a policy bordering on ethnonationalism, it seems hard to justify penalising whites for apparent crimes their great grandfathers made. It ignores of course any 'black-on-black' historical land disputes.“The expropriation of land without compensation is envisaged as one of the measures that we will use to accelerate the redistribution of land to black South Africans,” said Ramaphosa, who was sworn into office to succeed Jacob Zuma as president last week.
