"If an Arab and a Jew can look at one another and see the Akashic lineage and see the one family, there is hope. If they can see that their differences no longer require that they kill one another, then there is a beginning of a change in history. And that's what is happening now. All of humanity, no matter what the spiritual belief, has been guilty of falling into the historic trap of separating instead of unifying. Now it's starting to change. There's a shift happening."

You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

South African government accelerates land reform for sustainable agriculture development

English.news.cn   2012-04-22    
           
JOHANNESBURG, April 22 (Xinhua) -- The South African government is speeding up its reform plan to redistribute land to rightful owners, the official Bua news agency reported on Sunday.

"The government has set a target of redistributing 30 percent of commercial farmland to historically disadvantaged communities by 2014, we are moving towards achieving this by speeding up the process through negotiated settlements with the private sectors," Bua reported, citing Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti.

The speech was made at a ceremony marking the restoration of over 12 thousand hectares of land to a community in the eastern province of Mpumalanga.

The minister said the government's land reform aims at promoting the sustainable development of the agriculture.

Agriculture plays a major role in the South Africa's economy, and South Africa has a broad and well-developed agriculture.

However, as mining and manufacturing industries expanded at a faster pace, agriculture's share in the GDP declined.

The minister urged the beneficiaries of land redistributors to make full use of the invaluable assets to produce more grains instead of leaving them idle.

"Getting your ancestral land back is a great milestone, but once the government gives you a piece of land, you must use it productively to fight poverty and unemployment," said the minister.

The chairperson of the community said they are committed to make the piece of land valuable, including seeking the possibility of turning the land into a tourist attraction destination, according to Bua report.

The minister was satisfied with the progress made in the land redistribution in Mpumalanga.

There are 16 land claims to be finalized in the central province of the Free state, and 600 cases in the southern province of the Eastern Cape, said the minister.
