The example of Zimbabwe
But as Business Insider noted, there are dangers inherent in this kind of policy, since it?s one that Zimbabwe tried at the turn of the century.

Zimbabwe?s president, Robert Mugabe, confiscated land from white farmers in 1999 and 2000 as part of a redistribution program, and the shock of the transition severely damaged the economy, leading to hyperinflation and decades of economic depression.

Hopefully, South Africa will learn from Zimbabwe and follow a redistribution program that allows the new landowners time to transition and train.

Time will tell what the long-term effects of this policy will be, though we applaud Ramaphosa?s focus on healing the hurts caused by colonization on the continent.
