“We don’t just need the land; we need the water too. Expropriate all dams!”

Nota Baloyi's suggestion sparks debate

In the comments, several netizens agreed with his sentiments and suggested what else could be expropriated. Some highlighted the consequences of a chaotic expropriation process.

Here are some of the comments:

@IsaacMbongela responded:

“Not you again. Maybe you should join the EFF.”

@Gabula_Maklane concurred:

“You’re right. We can’t just focus on the land; the resources that sustain life are just as important. We need a full reclamation, land, water, and everything that should be ours.”

@Nkunzemhlophe suggested:

“Specifically, what is under the land. Stop the twisted farm bla bla. We want the minerals.”

@RONIN_JimNjAcK highlighted:

“I thought you knew the battle in Limpopo is no longer about the land but water to irrigate.”

@DylanGStains argued:

“You can expropriate the dams, but can you manage them? We’ve seen the consequences when ideology takes precedence over competence. The water won’t flow just because of catchy slogans.”

@Tonyb50Ab explained:

“The dams sit on the land you want to expropriate, so it would be automatic. Also, the big dams are already under the government's control. I don't think you thought your statement through.”

@Danumba9 said:

“Water is a basic human right and a natural resource. How they are still privately owned baffles me. I understand mines and farms to a certain extent (nakhona ngino but). This is something we really need to fight for because water is expensive because of such.”

@GriffinGre12276 said:

"They’re privatising water under our noses. The dam in the Free State, Qwaqwa, is full to capacity, but the people do not have access to water. There’s no explanation whatsoever from the municipality as to why there’s no water. In most areas, people go 6-7 months without water."
