MR J BANDA
As discussed telephonically on New
Constitutional matter, these are my contribution to Constitution:
(1) A
very person in South Africa wether black or white should have a piece of land in
South Africa for his dwelling and tilling of
the ground.
(2) The 87% of
the land which was forcefully taken from our African ancestors from the
Colonialists and Nationalist Government should
should be distributed to our
African masses without negotiation, as the land was taken from them forcefully
by the gun.
(3) As African people are landless and just peasants and
working class - the New Constitution should empower blacks to participate
heavily in economics and in running the economy. Blacks should own small,
medium and territeriary industries, they should make economic
decisions. viz
those who want to become farmers or fisherman should do so. We shouldn’t
all be forced to become working lcass
because we are blacks without land and
economic musle. I voted for our President Mandela but I don’t have any
economical muscle,
I can’t make economic decisions in my own country. The
blacks should be entertained in the Constitution to have economic power.
Land
was dispossed from us and now we possess land and participate heavily in
economic affairs of our land.
We aquired a democratic elected Government
but we havent aquired economic control - we have inherited a house without food,
the whole
food is with the National Party. We must get that food for our people
who are homeless and starving to death with no form of education.
4. In
1991 I wrote a letter to the Minister of Agriculture Mr Van Niekerk for a
loan so that I should become a farmer or a fisherman; there was no reply
simply because I am a black man, if I was a white, I would have
been helped, can
you please assist me in this matter I want to become a farmer and a fisherman;
can you assist me on this matter
as well as to process me.
How ever I
would like to make an appointment with you and some one from your
side.
Please reply - and forward my proposal.
J S Banda
