Exclusive: British Govt Appears to BACK 'Land Reforms' Aimed at Dispossessing South Africa**

• https://www.breitbart.com by Jack Montgomery

Breitbart London has seen a letter written by Harriet Baldwin MP, Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), to Sir Paul Beresford MP, who enquired what the government's stance on the policy was on behalf of a concerned constituent.

"The British government understands the need for land reform in South Africa", Baldwin asserted, adding that they "welcomed" promises from President Cyril Ramaphosa that "the process of land [re]distribution would be orderly within South African laws" and be carried out "without negatively affecting economic growth, agricultural production and food security".

In a follow-up email to the constituent from the Africa Department (Central and Southern) of the FCO, also seen by Breitbart London and confirmed as "reflect[ing] Government policy on this issue" by the FCO newsdesk, the department confirms Theresa May is satisfied with having been told that "[the] process would be taken forward on a multi-party basis, through Parliament, and… within the bounds of the Constitution and carefully designed so as to avoid damaging food security or deterring investment".
