Zulu king backs Afrikaners in fight against Cyril Ramaphosa’s land grab
The Times (UK) ^ | October 10 2018 | Jane Flanagan

The king of the Zulu tribe has formed an unlikely alliance with a right-wing Afrikaner lobby group to fight the South African government’s plans to take land from white owners without compensation.

King Goodwill Zwelithini said that his motivation in working with “the Boers” was their shared concern for the country’s food security, which he feared would be threatened if President Ramaphosa pressed ahead with his controversial expropriation plans.

The Zulus are about a fifth of South Africa's population. So this should make things a bit more interesting.

The King of Zulus has more sense than the Communists.

The Zulus are the alphas and bold leaders of the citizenry. A typical workforce team consists of one white manager, three Zulu supervisors, and thirty Bantu, Swahili, or other tribe workers. A Zulu cannot be supervised by a worker of another lesser tribe.

This is rather interesting, in that the Zulu king has the foresight to look at what happened to Zimbabwe—starvation when the whites moved out—and not want that for his people. Thus, he does what he can to make sure South Africa’s white farmers don’t leave and then the indigs starve. However, I believe it’s in the whites’ best interest to get a whole lotta GONE between them and South Africa. It’s far too risky to stay there.

I ran an American defense electronics company owned by a gentleman from Warm Baths, SA. He needed an American to run it because of military contract work. After about 15 years and $200K in immigration attorneys fees he finally became a citizen here in the states.

I sure learned a lot about Africa. None of which you will hear in the news.

If the whites and Zulus permanently unite, they can take South Africa from the corrupt ANC.

Uh oh, politics! Meanwhile, will the government be grabbing the diamond mines? What’s the deal on those?

The ANC is after Zulu land as well, and anyone else's who isn't ANC. Anyone who really thought this was all about race is a little naive.

What is likely to happen is Zulu and "Boer" versus the Communists, with the world press cheering the Communists on. My money's on the Zulu.

Following in Zimbabwe’s footsteps. From 2001:

I’m most of what you know about Africa will confirm most of our deepest suspicions, angst, and ridicule of that continent.

Throughout history Zulus and Afrikaners have had respect for each other.

Zulus have no problem in kicking the arse of other non-Zulus blacks.

Both the Zulus and the Boers fought each other in the past. They have respect for each other based on that conflict. They are natural allies against the ANC. The chief does have a point. The food supply of South Africa is being threatened by government policies. The nation is slipping into civil war.
