SA has NO agricultural land left - shock ruling by Court of Appeals

PRETORIA. Beeld newspaper's legal editor Philip de Bruin was the only journalist to write about the recent shock-finding by the Court of Appeals, which has ruled that legally-speaking, South Africa has no designated 'agricultural land' left any more -- at all, anywhere...

The Court of Appeals had made this ruling in a case brought by Wary Holdings -- which had objected to the sale of a specific 'agricultural' parcel in the Eastern Cape on the grounds that advance permission for the sale had not been granted by the Minister of Agriculture.
The Court of Appeals however ruled that 'there is no agricultural land in South Africa, since all land now falls under some municipal jurisdiction or another...' and that the sale was legal.

Collapse of South African agriculture now a fact:

South Africa is a very dry country which has only ever been able to utilise no more than 12% of all its land-surface for agriculture throughout its entire recorded 350-year agricultural history.

At the moment, only 0.79% of all of South Africa's land-surface is actually still under permanent crops - according to the direct satellite observations by the CIA:

Since 1994, the country's agricultural tax-base has also shrunk dramatically -- from 85,000 farmers and 1,5-m employees in 1994 to less than 10,000 taxpaying farmers and 325,000 fulltime, taxpaying employees by 2006.

The country also has about 4-million 'subsistence farmers' who produce food only for their own families on tiny land-parcels -- but pay no income-taxes nor pay anyone any wages for farm-labour. Their relatives work on this land in exchange only for food and board - i.e. they are slave-labourers.

Due to these grossly-underutilised farmlands, the country's food production has also dropped dramatically, forcing it to routinely start importing large supplies of staple-foods for the first time in its entire recorded history.
"Ministry of Agriculture' now defunct?

This important Court of Appeals' decision also means -- according to Wary Holdings -- that none of the statutes now still on the SA law-books regarding to 'agricultural land' have any legality -- they have all become null and void.

The 'Ministry of Agriculture and Land Affairs" also should be disbanded under this Court of Appeals ruling -- since there is 'no agricultural land left in South Africa' to make any decisions about any more...
And that's the issue which Wary Holdings now wants the Constitutional Court to decide on - i.e. 'is there still any agricultural land left?'

Wary Holdings' spokesman said in its legal documentation that any government statutes regarding so-called 'agricultural land' -- such as all the old Boer-farms which now have pretty much all been confiscated and fragmented into tiny subsistence-parcels by the Department of Agriculture -- should therefore also be declared null and void.

One cannot 'redistribute agricultural land' if it does not exist according to the Court of Appeals.

Wary filed the suit with the Court of Appeal after it had initially sold a land-parcel in the East-Cape to Stalwo company -- but then withdraw the transaction because it involved 'agricultural land' for which advance sales-permission from the Minister of Agriculture had not been obtained.

However the Court of Appeals said in its ruling on the issue that the 'transaction was legal since there is no agricultural land left in South Africa'.
Wary Holdings has now obtained permission from chief-justice Pius Langa to address the Constitutional Court about the entire issue.

There is a deeper issue here Adriana.

Like the Mineral Rights that the ANC is seizing in the name of the public - this cuts into property rights.

If the ANC effectively is saying there's no such thing... then it is almost as if they control the land in a round-about way.

There are shades of COMMUNISM here...

So if there is no agricultural land left in South Africa any more - how can the regime then still continue its so-called land-redistribution schemes of agricultural land?

Clearly there is no agricultural land left to 'redistribute'. And the ANC-regime also can no longer resell 'agricultural land' which it has already stolen from White farmers, either.

The Agricultural Department should be scrapped altogether. It has just run out of land to manage.

In fact the immigration department should also be scrapped, since nobody from outside the country needs visas anymore to enter the country.

In fact the ANC-regime should scrap itself altogether since it is totally useless at running any of its ' departments ' and has dropped the country into total chaos.
