Swazi king gave land in Mpumalanga to Voortrekkers: Mswati III
7 August 2018
The land in the area known as Mpumalanga today was not stolen or unlawfully taken from anyone, the Voortrekkers obtained the land legally from the then Swazi king by means of bartering with, among other things, livestock.
The Swazi king, Mswati III, confirmed this yesterday (2 August 2018) during talks between the king and a delegation of various groups from the Afrikaner community under the lead of Mr Werner Weber, the FF Plus’s provincial leader in Mpumalanga. The FF Plus’s national chairperson, adv Anton Alberts, accompanied Mr Weber.
The aim of the talks was to discuss the land in South Africa that farmers obtained legally through historical agreements with the Swazis as well as to make the message to the ANC loud and clear: it is a malicious myth that all the land in South Africa was stolen from black people.
Here follows the joint press statement that was issued after the talks:
