S.Africa continues to evict Black farmers
Blacks continue to be forceably
removed from the communities and
farm s in South A fric a ’ s ongoing
polit y of apartheid.
Louis Freedberg, Pacific News
Service Associate Editor reported in
“ Africa 'news**, after visiting South
A fric a , that Black areas (called
“ black spots'* by the government)
“ face removal simply because they
lie within the 87% o f South A frica
set aside exclusively for whites, who
make up less than 20% of the coun­
try's population.“
Contrary to deeds signed by Black
landholders over 70 years ago, the
government, sinde 1948, has taken
title to the land, evicted the residents
and then sold it to whites.
W hile D eV illiers M o rriso n,
deputy minister o f the government
department carrying out the reset­
tlem ent defends the act as a
necessary protection o f the Blacks
from, “ horribleconditions... not fit
for human habitation,” resistance
supporters say the millions of South
A fric a n Blacks already displaced
face starvation, unemployment and
generally terrible living conditions.
Describing the areas being con­
fiscated from Blacks as quite
“ viable
economies**,
A nika
Claasen. organizer fo r the white
liberal organization, Black Sash,
M id , “ There is still considerable
farming activity and residents can
find work nearby.
“ To ihe people concerned,
removal seems absolutely bizarre,
because they live in very beautiful,
very productive areas,
very
peacefully.**
Black com m uni’ ies resisting
government demand! ake great risk.
A community leader was shot and
killed whik resisting last April. That
has caused threatened community
members to shy away from demon­
strations o f passive resistance.
The government prefers to use
less obvious coersion says M r.
Freedberg Subtler tactics include,
"cutting o ff the water supply and
transp o rtatio n, or demolishing
schools and clinics, in the hope that
conditions w ill become so in ­
tolerable that people will be forced
to leave on their own.
