A white Zimbabwean farmer previously kicked off his land by the former Robert Mugabe regime received a hero’s welcome from his community Thursday following the new government’s return of his land, the Associated Press reported.
Guided by military escort, Robert Smart became the first white farmer who came back to the land he once owned before it was seized nearly two decades ago by Mugabe’s ruling Zanu-PF party.
In 2000, Mugabe ordered land seizures and evictions of white farmers and their families. According to the Telegraph, of the estimated 4,500 white farmers prior the seizures, only several hundred remain.

The problem is, if a country in Africa suddenly becomes prosperous, they will be inundated with refugees from the rest of the continent, the same has been happening in South Africa, it’s just as bad as what we’ve seen in Europe, complete with riots.
White Farmers Lives Matter
Thankfully the UN and the USA came to the rescue of those white farmers!!/s
Those colonialists weren’t so bad after all...
If they didn't do it under Mugabe it's hardly likely to happen.
Did Winnie Mandela move to Zimbabwe?
Agreed. What a dumb ass...
“He is a fool for going back.”
I’m afraid you’re right. Mugabe may be gone but the envious, incompetent people that put him in power and supported him are still there.
Robert Smart’s middle name must be “Notso”
