Namibia vows to change 'status-quo' of white-farm ownership

Namibia adopted a "willing-buyer, willing-seller" approach to land reform after independence from South Africa in 1990.

Farmers wishing to sell their business must first offer it to the state, which parcels it into smaller plots and redistributes to "previously disadvantaged Namibians".

That strategy has done little to redress the imbalance, however, prompting President Hage Geingob to call for a more muscular approach.

"The willing-buyer, willing-seller principle has not delivered results," Geingob told a land conference last year, adding that the "status-quo should not be allowed to continue".

Geingob has since demanded constitutional amendments to allow for the forceful expropriation of white-owned commercial farms with "fair compensation".

This has been "in the news" for years and Geingob has been threatening this since his first term. Just like mandatory 25% black ownership in all businesses (Namibia Economic Empowerment Framework), this is a non-starter - and everyone in government knows it. They love their tax revenues more than land and business redistribution.
