Nearly 25 years on from independence the vast majority of South Africa鈥檚 farmland is still owned by the country鈥檚 white minority. But now the governing ANC is coming under pressure to change that. In the past the government has tried to find 鈥渨illing sellers鈥� but that鈥檚 only led to the redistribution of 10% of farmland. Now the government is considering more controversial moves. President Cyril Ramaphosa his indicated he would introduce a change to the constitution to allow, if necessary, land expropriation without compensation. White farmers are furious. Investors are worried too. They look at what has happened in neighbouring Zimbabwe where land seizures turned what was the breadbasket of Africa into an agricultural basket case. President Trump, too, has got involved, tweeting that he asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to look into 鈥渓and and farm seizures鈥� and "killing of farmers", prompting South Africa to accuse Mr Trump of stoking racial divisions. Paul Henley and a panel of expert guests discuss South Africa鈥檚 struggle with land reform.
