A farm worker is seen at a farm in Eikeihof outside Johannesburg September 30, 2008. For those seeking to redistribute South Africa's rich, sprawling farmland among landless, poor blacks, there is an uncomfortably close reminder of the dangers of getting this sensitive task wrong - Zimbabwe. More than a decade after the end of apartheid, poor blacks in South Africa are still waiting for land promised to them by the ruling African National Congress (ANC), which sees land redistribution as a cornerstone of black majority rule.
