I think you need to consider the context of the land expropriation.
Whilst idiots like the EFF are driving the narrative of land expropriation without compensation and they are making it seem like it applies to all land and it's going to be a free for all. This does not apply to residential properties, even though the EFF and some other parties give the impression that this is the case.
In reality, this is focused on commercial land. Whilst I personally don't believe that land should be taken away without compensation I do also see that the current commercial land distribution is heavily biased. (This includes land owned by various Zulu chiefdoms).
The media drives sensationalism because that's what sells.

Problem is we are facing guaranteed economic collapse if this happens. Why would anyone pay the bank back for a house they no longer own.
Lately though this isn't only about farms anymore. Homes in urban areas are now also up for grabs.
It seems that the general consensus is that the employed tax payers deserve this, especially the ones of a certain skin colour who "stole" everything. To such an extent that I was starting to think I am the insane one for thinking WTF at this crap.
At least we got bitcoin to reserve our value and gtfo.

What are your guys' thoughts on forcibly taking someones house and giving it to someone else without compensating at all. The basis of this is that the land was stolen and must be given back.
This however was done by past generations. Is it fair to make a decedent pay for something their ancestors did? This will basically leave home "owners" with debt on the house but no house. Yes, that's right. The law will require people to still pay the homes off that they no longer own. (anyone else see all banks falling instantly here?)
I must say on one side, I think some of the issues here are blown out of proportion internationally. There's no genocide here right now, there might be one in the future though(God forbid). But its still safe-ish to walk around regardless of skin colour.
There is major inequality here, which definitely needs to be addressed but I don't think this is the way.
I am specifically looking for a logical explanation on how this is fair and for the better of everyone from anyone who is in support of this. No supporter of this has been able to give a good answer as to why this will be to everyones benefit.

of course its not fair, south african regime will pay a huge price for that, with the lost of trust, for temporary populist goals, it made themselves many enemies.
besides, the farms already feed the entire nation, and generate devisas, if they need more farms, they could have build urban farms. like they are being build in china.
