IMF OKs land seizure as long as crops aren’t harmed


Sure. Throw owners off land, but make sure carrots are harvested.

“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approves of South Africa’s controversial land reform as long as the highly contentious process is ‘rules-based’ and transparent, according to the fund’s representative in the country.
Montfort Mlachila, the IMF’s senior resident representative in South Africa, said that the regulation must not damage agricultural output and put at risk food supplies for the country’s citizens.
“’We are in full support of the need to undertake land reforms in order to address the issues of inequality,’ Mlachila said in an interview with Reuters.”

So, the IMF says, it’s okay to steal stuff as long as the robbery addresses
“the issues of inequality.” As in, “You got it, I don’t. Therefore, I can take it from you.”
