Crossroads Of Oppression's End: Liberty Or Greater Tyranny-Part Three South African Land Reforms (Acquisition)

Imperial Democratic Republic Mode- Leave all landowning as is. Implement no new policies in regards to land ownership.

direct democratic Republic Mode- Seize all or most land from the descendants of colonists. Redistribute that land as the legislature or executive branch deems suitable as per their discretion.

Representative Democratic Republic Mode- This mode recognizes that forced buyouts (eminent domain) is an option by the State as land is indeed finite. However it still recognizes that people do have property rights.

It bars all bills of attainder that pertain to race and ethnicity. It also limits the Corruption By Blood principle as people who have had property for at two generations or more will not be affected unless their holdings exceed certain land ceilings.

It also restricts the vast majority eminent domain buyouts of property to property belonging to large landowners. These buyouts have to offer an monetary amount of at least the market value of the improvements of the land. No land can be forcibly purchased from the landowner without compensation. The central/federal government legislature decides which landowners are classified as large. The central/federal government executive branch decides, according to written law, what land needs to be confiscated and what monetary amount needs to be offered as compensation. 

No landowner of a large amount of property can be forced to sell more than 50% of their land. All large landowners should be given first option to lease at least 25% of the land purchased from them via eminent domain. The duration of the lease is to be a minimum of 20 years.

After the 20 year period in which eminent domain buyouts took place, the State reserves to right to exercise eminent domain again with the same large landowners if they continue to possess land holdings that exceed the limitations as cited in the land ceiling law that existed at the time of the latest previous buyout. The State again will be subject to the same limitations that existed during the initial eminent domain buyout even if there is a change of land ownership. 

The general terms and conditions for land reforms need to be incorporated in the Nation's constitution.
