Kapenda should be asked by visiting TV reporters whether he will publicly and fully accept responsibility for what he's doing. Just another idiot land-grab with great appeal for the uneducated who will be unable or unwilling to grasp that the first steps are being taken in the direction of starvation and economic ruin.
Numerous leaders of African countries have told us in no uncertain terms that they refuse to have their way of life "dictated" by us. Pity, really. If they did, their people might eat more regularly - and have all those seeds and dams that charities are constantly asking us to subscribe for and which those inept governments should have provided decades ago.
I'm still baffled as to why Julius Nyerere (whose "youth wing" also resorted to unpleasant methods of "persuasion") was - and still is - regarded as one of Africa's leading Statesmen. Never a particularly wealthy country it was at least comfortable for its inhabitants. But Nyerere nevertheless insisted on implementing outmoded Soviet-Union style agricultural systems which the Russkies had already been forced to abandon as useless, and drove Tanzania into a ranking in the top three of the world's poorest countries. Nobody ever blitzed the man.
