Marx aside, Malikane was offering a solution to the monopolization of land and other means of production. The cure for the problem starts when all South Africans accept that it exists. For example, a small section of the white population owns 80% of the land. This is not just, whether Marx is alive or dead. 

Unfortunately, the author of this article appears to be an apologist for the apartheid system or at least the maintenance of the status quo. He offers no alternative or superior solution to South Africa's woes- or a solution that is not Marxist. He just does paints Malikane as a monster, in a bid to sweep under the carpet the apartheid era system of racially defined inequality.

The crunch time for dealing with these issues is here, and it better be dealt with now. In the process, I am sure no one will be left doubting the sanity of Robert Mugabe. The fight against white monopoly capital will not be easy as it has backers in the West. But it will be a worthwhile fight.
