The article argues that land reform is a justice issue, not a threat, particularly in the context of South Africa and Zimbabwe. It discusses the U.S. aid cut to South Africa due to unfounded claims regarding white farmers, contrasting it with Zimbabwe's dire economic situation following land redistribution. Despite Zimbabwe’s attempts to compensate white landowners and lift sanctions, historical injustices and economic pressures remain. The narrative presented challenges the conventional view that vilifies land reform as mere expropriation, advocating for a reevaluation of past colonial practices and their impacts on present-day policies.
The global community must recognize land reform not as a threat but as a rightful demand for justice, especially in light of historical injustices.
