But why? How is this possible?

Birth control, preferably in the form of mass sterilizations the humane thing to do for every “developing” nation.
It will give those lands the best shot at eradicating poverty and hunger.

Expropriation of white owned farms.
Try to expropriate ANY private property and see what happens to your economy...

I remember when they took the White farms in Zimbabwe...they scrapped the irrigation pipes and associated equipment for quick dollars. You can't farm that land without irrigation.
Woudn't surprise me to learn that the American taxpayers are feeding them now.

The former Rhodesia turned itself from the breadbasket of Africa, a major exporter of staple grains, into a country on the perpetual verge of mass starvation by expropriating and often murdering white farmers and giving land to cronies of President Mugabe, who were not capable of stewardship.
...
And a result was hyperinflation.
Economic contraction causes inflation, which is the exact opposite of what the Federal Reserve and the Fake News has been telling us for decades.
Price controls cause inflation for the same reason, they reduce economic output.

All they need to do is take their farms and then make whitey their slaves, and
make them produce food.
That'll work!

Birth control, preferably in the form of mass sterilizations the humane thing to do for every developing nation. No Christian or Conservative should support such a thing. What they need are real property rights. The education of women also has a direct effect on birth rates. Unfortunately, both come from deeply-held cultural attributes about how a society views wealth, individual rights, and the role of women. I doubt Africa will achieve it.

Historical evidence suggests that reducing infant and child mortality stabilizes populations.
When parents lose a child they are likely to have many more as replacements.

I’m not saying forced sterilizations. Simply offer to pay $1,000 to every recipient, and provide free operations.
There’s nothing unchristian or un-conservative about that.

all based in getting even for racial grievances of the past.

In the broadest sense you start with the European Scramble for Africa and Colonization, followed by decolonization.

...no indication that this first step toward poverty will change any minds in South Africa. Much as in Venezuela, we must watch in sadness as the fantasy economics of the left destroys wealth in the name of social justice and a nation ends up in starvation and poverty. NOT ONE AMERICAN DIME OR GRAIN OF WHEAT FOR THESE PEOPLE. THEY MADE THEIR BED... LET THEM SLEEP IN IT.
