It's entirely true that land ownership in South Africa is racially biased and that it was so by design through good parts of the 20th century.
Shouting about the skin color of those who own land is also discrimination, which is what's happening now, isn't it? Pointing that out gains the ire of the South African government.
The only economic system we've ever stumbled across that produces actual growth, a rise in the living standards of the general population, is one with private property rights, with land rights being important on this point.
The suggestion in South Africa is that the imbalance in who owns land today is so great that the very concept of ownership should be undermined.
Government should be allowed to take from one to give to the other, to reallocate, without compensation to those who currently own land.
A campaign to restore the old Anglo-Saxon land holdings would be, rightly, considered ludicrous.
The Bantu didn't actually reach the area south and west of the Fish River in South Africa before the Dutch and English arrived.
