Appropriation without compensation is the only way

At the time white settlers came, blacks had vast herds of cattle and were cultivating land with the best skills of that time. It is therefore an insult to suggest that blacks cannot have the skills to farm. They were farmers and those skills were lost not because of lack of intelligence or stupidity of any kind but because they were violently removed and denied access to the land.
Mugabe's failure has been on policy. Severe marketing restrictions have made it impossible for anyone to farm meaningfully. You can only sale most produce to the government and the government does not pay for the produce. -
The EFF’s entire economic policy, it seems, consists of weakening the very institutions that economists have identified as key drivers of economic growth. Forcing experienced farmers to illegally expropriate large farmlands without compensation is illegal and will be a death sentence for their economy when they realize their their experience will only land will only be able to produce subsistence farming that will offer neither them, nor their children, a way out of poverty. These paths of populist takeovers based only on racial grievances that continue to dismantle institutions, South Africa will be turned into a kleptocracy akin to countries like Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Economic failed social state of Doom!
