Five days ago, we revealed that a list had been leaked from the South African Government which detailed 190 farms that were to be expropriated without compensation. The South African Government denied the authenticity of the list, but AfriForum maintained that the list was genuine and that they had received it from a trustworthy source.
We can now reveal that according to Ernst Roets, Deputy CEO of AfriForum, the first two targets on the list, Farm 1 and Farm 2, have now been targeted for expropriation.
Farms 1 & 2 on the #farmlist we published last week is now targeted for expropriation. So the debate about the authenticity of the list is settled then?

News24, a South African online news outlet, reported that the first two farms that are up for expropriation without compensation are, as predicted, the first two farms on last week’s leaked farm list. More information can be found in the tweets below.
So @News24 reported the first 2 farms up for EWC are the exact first 2 farms on @afriforum's #farmlist:

So everyone gave @afriforum and @ErnstRoets trouble for releasing the #farmlist… @AdriaanBasson and @PieterDuToit went out of their way to call them liars.
Now the first case of Expropriation is literally the first two farms on Afriforum's list… https://t.co/tx83mHCYS6

Do you know what fear-mongering in the highest degree is @AdriaanBasson? It's when a ruling party says it will expropriate 139 farms without compensation and refuse to say which farms, it's when more than 30 000 farmers lay awake at night and don't know if it will be them. https://t.co/tKEvrQPUb8
