'Zimbabwe won't happen in SA'

[dArKeR]

South Africa would not go down the same path as Zimbabwe where people had taken the law into their own hands, because people were frustrated with the pace of land reform, New National Party leader Marthinus van Schalkwyk said on Thursday.

"As neighbours, we have seen in Zimbabwe what happens when two decades of foot-dragging on land reform eventually led to a situation where the frustration and anger of the people boiled over, with people taking the law into their own hands."

In a prepared speech, Van Schalkwyk, who is Western Cape Premier, said to members of the agricultural community at Vanderbijlpark in Gauteng on Thursday that: "This will not happen in South Africa."

From my fleeing from SA friends, they seem to relay the message SA is some ways is worse than Zimbabwe.
