Farmers panic after AfriForum publishes list of apparent expropriation targets
13 August 2018
Farm owners are concerned that they could become the next land invasion victims after the names of their farms were included on a list of possible land expropriation targets.
Lobby group AfriForum published the list on its website.
The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform denied the veracity of the list, which was ostensibly circulated within the department.
But AfriForum Deputy CEO Ernst Roets told News24 that the document was "definitely being circulated", although he would not provide further details on how it had reached them. He would only say it had emanated from a "confidential source".
