| The era when Britons were free to acquire farms and homes in South Africa was drawing to a close yesterday when an official panel recommended a "moratorium" on foreigners buying or selling any land. This freeze would apply to every category of land, ranging from housing and farms to private game parks and industrial sites.

| #5 When I first saw the headline, I thought of Saudi Arabia, and wondered Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Since when were the Soodis agriculturalists? Now I understand. |

| #4 Each year SA slides into the shitter kofi will beg for mo flushing money. It's a fact, especially in Africa, that it's infinitely easier to destroy a nation than build one. |
