South Africa: Back to the land of our parents

‘‘Today we are here to say never again shall our people lose their land rights because they are black,'' said Lulama Xingwana, South Africa's minister of agriculture and land affairs. She was speaking at the handover of a section of land in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi National Park about one hour's drive from the mining and industrial town of Richards Bay. Richards Bay is about eight hours by car from South Africa's commercial hub of Johannesburg.
