"We need to dismantle the 'property' concept." Justice means: - Reclaiming the commons; - Expropriating private property to avail land; - Understanding the regulation, limit, and constraints on private because of how financialised it has become. ~ @RuthHallPLAAS #ULJG2025

@PLAASuwc @RuthHallPLAAS @SAfmRadio It is a narrative pushed by government officials... Land claimans are not opting for money willingly, they are being discouraged against taking land restoration because it "takes longer"
