Dear Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development,

My father worked at the farm for more than 30 years he never afforded to take us to university had the issue of land received preference it deserved maybe I will have been amongst the young farmers assisting in the development of our economy instead my father left the farm without any cent and today I must call myself a proudly south african.I am still in pain as my father is now very ill and poor after so many years of working for a white farmer.The worst part the kids of the very same farmer I used to play together with them whilst I was young calling them Klein bass however they took over from their father and now running farms whilst me and my dad we are still poor after so many year of service but until today we are still poor.Let the land be expropriated without compensation for those who are owing land give them limited hectares provided they can proof that all the land they owe contributes towards the economy of this country if proven do not take all land from them atleast leave them with a peace of land which they can use to grow the economy all the empty land must be owned by government. Please help us I believe I would have been a successful farmer however we left the farm like dogs without a cent after so many years of service my father had at the farm. I need land and believe my father were suppose to be owing some instead he is now a sick man and was removed from the farm without any cent.
