Soon many South Africans headed to the comment section where they either enquired about getting their own land or appreciated Ramaphosa's efforts in giving locals land and the deeds to the land.

Read a few of their comments below:

"Thank you very much but the pace is really really slow Mr President. Also there's vast land lying furlough that was restituted."

@LethuThabani said:

"Indeed, Manqondo Njinji I share the view on pace. We are now in power the pace should be faster. Furthermore, at a larger scale. Putting aside faction narrative issues it should be Rapid Economic Transformation."

@Thinkgreat10 said:

"You must assist them with infrastructure to catapult their progress and production."

Briefly News also reported that Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) president-emeritus Mangosuthu Buthelezi has backed the expropriation of land and revealed that he would retire once the law has been passed.

Speaking at a press conference in Durban on Tuesday afternoon, the 92-year-old said he would bow out of Parliament once the expropriation of land matter had been resolved.
