Faith-based Land Redistribution
19 October 2004Dr. Pieter Bingle, minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in Cape Town (historically an Afrikaner church) announced to the South African parliament that his church felt it had a calling to give prophetic witness regarding land reforms. In the church's submission, Bingle cited Psalms 24:1 to say that all land belongs to God; he said that past injustice should be redressed and restituted, but that the redistribution of land to victims of apartheid should start with state-owned farms rather than private land; and he added his hope that land reform not be politicized as it has been in Zimbabwe.
