https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=12110366 The South African government has begun the process of seizing land from white farmers. Local newspaper City Press reports two game farms in the northern province of Limpopo are the first to be targeted for unilateral seizure after negotiations with the owners to purchase the properties stalled. While the government says it intends to pay, owners Akkerland Boerdery wanted 200 million rand ($18.7 million) for the land, while the government was offering them just 20 million rand ($1.87 million). "Notice is hereby given that a terrain inspection will be held on the farms on April 5, 2018 at 10am in order to conduct an audit of the assets and a handover of the farm's keys to the state," a letter sent to the owners earlier this year said. Akkerland Boerdery obtained an urgent injunction to prevent eviction until a court had ruled on the issue, but the Department of Rural Development and Land Affairs is opposing the application. "What makes the Akkerland case unique is that they apparently were not given the opportunity to first dispute the claim in court, as the law requires," AgriSA union spokeswoman Annelize Crosby told the paper.
So, how long before they replicate Zimbabwe and all the whites run off, taking their money with them?
"Can't be racist against whites"
a terrain inspection will be held on the farms on April 5, 2018 at 10am in order to conduct an audit of the assets and a handover of the farm's keys to the state, How are these the same thing? Also, from the article AgriSA had described Afriforum's release of the list as "irresponsible" and "inflammatory", saying "cursory background research showed" several inaccuracies, including that a number of the farms were joint ventures co-owned by black people. Okay clearly not racially motivated then
Haven’t you noticed just how many white South Africans emigrated here to Australia?
Can we avoid these shitposts here? Cause this joke is more tied to the context of American racial relations. Meanwhile South Africa is an entirely different beast here.
I could understand the government seizing farms if they were reforming the economy. Like if they had recently gone through a communist revolution and wanted the state/people to collectively own the land. But they're literally doing this out of pure greed, so that they can sell the farms and profit from it at the expense of the entire country. The whole racial aspect of this is just a justification to do this without seeming as tyrannical. It's classic political scapegoating. Unless the government (which I doubt) actually has a plan to properly utilise the land, then his is going to cause widespread problems for the whole of South Africa. Most likely in the form of famine.
this should end well
Yeah, but there have been different waves of emmigration from South Africa. Seizing land will probably be the last straw for who's left.
Anyways. This is pretty much turning into Zimbabwe 2.0 Combination with this and the recent drought, this is a recipe for disaster.
Using the past to excuse racism, jesus christ. But yeah, tonnes of white south africans have called Australia home in the past couple decades
Not a shitpost. It's a quote used by so many people that bringing it up resonates a certain kind of almost sad irony. Not the first time this happens to farmers in Africa. It's very much related to what happened here.
Yeah i mean i'm not denying the fact the current ruling South African party are a bunch of racist dipshits. Just that type of joke raises my eyebrow somewhat, due to certain people latching onto to it and cranking it to 11. "See, this is what happens if black people are given power. So lets stop them from being elected." Instead of seeing it for what it truly is. Which is "All people can become ignorant dipshits/scumbags."
Here's hoping the Boers tell them to get fucked, and remain armed. Nelson Mandela and his cronies are a fucking joke.
you know he's dead right?
As far as I'm concerned, the fucker was a terrorist scumbag.
Highly unlikely given what a small chunk of the economy farming makes up in South Africa. In Zimbabwe it was the largest sector, but in SA it's the smallest, most food is already imported.
Obongo was president for 8 years. None of this happened. I don't understand why this is where you see people running with that, when what they really do is justify street-level hooliganism and online and offline harrassment. It's not even remotely about political power. It's just about justifying abuse and 90% of the time, it's white tumblr feminists saying it. You're totally missing why people hate hearing it and why it's not as much a joke as you think it is.
He did fight against what was a legal system of persecution and dehumanization of blacks in south africa which was modeled after Nazi Germany. Everything that came after the fall including his presidential term is relevant but to say he was a terrorist and a joke is kind of ignoring all the shit he did for the majority of his life. His party has been responsible for a lot of this shit by riding his coattails to stay in power instead of trying to live up to his message.
What I wrote was literal. Everyone can be racist against any race, no matter the color of your skin. I spoke nothing of who should be elected or who shouldn't.
Again, i said i dont disagree with you.
Alright, fair enough.
I have my doubts Mandela would've gone this route, in spite of his past even he could have recognised that targeting the Boers would end badly. I hope this bites the government in the ass and they're forced to reconsider their plans when they face armed resistance, they will be reaping what they sow.
I'll give them harvest seasons before those farms are barren dirt patches and they are calling those white devils back to ease the famine.
Lots of people would say the same of you and your "we planned attacks on the US power grid" militia buddies so maybe you should introspect a bit there fam.
And the west will quietly pretend that this isn't happening and not putting any pressure on South Africa.
Fuck off
My girlfriend's aunts have already sold their dope ass house. The problem goes far beyond the government taking white people's property. Theres a whole lot of racism and violence towards white people aswell.
