The Landless People's Movement in the Eastern Cape has given the provincial
government an ultimatum:
Give us land or we will take over farms forcefully on April 14.

LPM spokesman Kubheka stated
"When they go to vote, we are going to occupy land by force if we have to."

The ANC regime responded with the following threat:
"Those with designs to deliberately flout the law and occupy land illegally
will be met with the full might of the law."

Meanwhile, the New National Party has called on their political cohorts the
ANC to hold urgent, high-level negotiations with the LPM
"before things get out of hand".

In a statement on Thursday, NNP media director Carol Johnson said land was a
sensitive issue in South Africa, and warned that the LPM's remarks could
create panic.
"The NNP believes that very serious talks must take place with this movement
and that the land restitution process must be explained to them, because the
effects of illegal land invasions on this country and its economy are cause
for concern.

This movement is creating unnecessary panic amongst South Africans, who
already fear that land restitution in South Africa will go the way of
Zimbabwe and now Namibia."
