Land is a hot button issue in South Africa where racial inequality still runs deep a generation after apartheid. Based on the “willing buyer, willing seller” principle, the land redistribution promised by Nelson Mandela is slow.

A total of 139 farms have allegedly been targeted for expropriation, sowing panic among white farmers. Caroline Dumay and Stefan Carstens report.
