The EFF and ANC, two far left wing political parties in South Africa, will have you believe that land is the most critical issue facing South Africans still battling to overcome the legacy of Apartheid. Yet, poll after poll will show that jobs, crime, education, and healthcare are consistently more important.
These two militant and populist groups will also have us believe that 'Whites' dominate land ownership when in fact the state and the Zulu's Ingonyama Trust own the bulk of land in South Africa.
The DA is also regularly positioned by these groupings as a proxy of White Monopoly Capital and the evil West. It begs the question then why in the DA-controlled Western Cape Land Redistribution has been the most successful. It flies in the face of the propaganda spouted by the radicals.
