Q: Should areas that in 1652 were inhabited by Khoi and San people be renamed with Korana and Griekwa names and should affirmative status and land claims be filed for their "coloured" descendants? PS. What about my Great-great grandfathers house and factory that the Boers blew up in 1898? Can I file a claim against anyone after my family were wrongfully dispossessed of their property and home? D405- Hmmm, think before answering- did you pass your matric by the way? The land my great-great grandfather built on had nothing on it and did not belong to anyone. The population of SA in 1880 was probably around 4 million so the population density was less than 10% of what it is now. Now, do you actually OWN land legally? Do you own the land your house is on? And by the way, the resuult of his house and factory being blown up was that a lot of black workers were impoverished and unemployed and had to go back to THEIR land in Natal. D405 you answer without thinking and you reveal your stupidity every time. By your logic all black people would have to leave the Western Cape... why don't you shout that loud in Khayalitsha?
A: MJ, all well but where will it stop? Granted, there were wrongs in the past and people and communities were placed somewhere else against their free will. The current generation does not know that they are living on property or areas that belonged to others before. If these areas are claimed, will that not cause more frustration and hate. I don't know. It is a time bomb if not handled carefully. Look what happened in Zim with the farms.
