Nearly 25 years on from independence the vast majority of South Africa\\u2019s farmland is still owned by the country\\u2019s white minority. But now the governing ANC is coming under pressure to change that. In the past the government has tried to find \\u201cwilling sellers\\u201d but that\\u2019s only led to the redistribution of 10% of farmland. Now the government is considering more controversial moves. President Cyril Ramaphosa his indicated he would introduce a change to the constitution to allow, if necessary, land expropriation without compensation. White farmers are furious. Investors are worried too. They look at what has happened in neighbouring Zimbabwe where land seizures turned what was the breadbasket of Africa into an agricultural basket case. President Trump, too, has got involved, tweeting that he asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to look into \\u201cland and farm seizures\\u201d and "killing of farmers", prompting South Africa to accuse Mr Trump of stoking racial divisions. Paul Henley and a panel of expert guests discuss South Africa\\u2019s struggle with land reform.
