@LoneKnight It's an involved and touchy subject with roots in the past.
I'll try to keep it short.
When Nelson Mandela became president in 1994 an agreement was reached that land which was taken from Black people would be bought by the government and redistributed. This was made part of the new constitution.
Our current new president has announced that he wants to change the constitution and take the remaining land back without compensating the current owners. Current owners who bought the land legally. He wants to do this with all land that was taken since the 1600's.
If he goes through with that then we are going to have some serious problems here of all kinds.

@LoneKnight Well thanks bro, I appreciate that. My main concern is not for myself but for my daughter. Luckily she has science skills that are useful in many countries so she can leave if need be.
On the other hand politics in most countries now is in turmoil anyway. You probably have plenty of your own issues. So good luck to you too.
