New bill aims to speed up return of land to black South Africans

Description

In South Africa, land remains an emotive issue, even 22 years after the end of apartheid. When the ANC came to power in 1994 it aimed for 30% of land in white hands to be transferred to black owners, but to date only around 10% has been handed over. Now a new bill designed to speed up the process is due to be ratified, but it still faces many hurdles. Our correspondents report.

South Africans arm themselves amid waves of violence

Johannesburg, Sep 17 (EFE/EPA).- “It was a traumatic, full-on terror kind of experience”. That is how Durban resident Surav Jimmi remembers the wave of violent riots that swept the country in July, leaving 354 people dead. Like many South Africans, Jimmi is now applying for a gun license because he sees no other way to guarantee his personal safety."It was a week full of no sleep, standing off in the community, seeing people getting shot at, us getting shot at, it's a traumatic experience,” the musician and entrepreneur tells Efe from the shooting range in the eastern city of Durban, the worst hit by the violence.
