'Crisis' hit Zimbabwe wants white farmers back – report
News 24 ^ | 7/16/15

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's government has reportedly indicated, for the first time, that it may hand back land to some white farmers whose farms were forcibly taken away from them during the height of the country’s controversial land reform programme.

This comes a decade and a half after the Zimbabwean government seized large swaths of land from white farmers in the country - a move that saw a drastic deterioration in the country's economy.

According to The Telegraph, Minister of Lands Douglas Mombeshora said provincial leaders had been tasked to come up with names of white farmers they wanted to remain on their farms. The farms should be "of strategic economic importance".

"We have asked provinces to give us the names of white farmers they want to remain on farms so that we can give them security of tenure documents to enable them to plan their operations properly," Mombeshora was quoted as saying.

And as soon as the locals' bellies are full they'll be back to hack the farmers to death.

No thanks.

I’d get out of dodge. If I could sell, I’d sell. If I couldn’t sell, I’d salt.

They killed many white farmers, their families, and their dogs. They took everything from them.

Rot in hell, Zimbabwe.

The goal posts keep moving for the benefit of this feckless fool Mugabe. He has to go. Do they have a hill there in Zimbabwe? He could be another feckless fool on a hill.

He uses a less sophisticated version of massive goverment private database information than does Mr Obama - it’s called famine

If the gov’t has already run them off their land, would they still be in Zimbabwe? If so, how have they survived?

Somebody has to ask the politically incorrect question:

Is there any country that has not fallen into decline in twenty years or less when the white colonial governments were replaced by native black governments?
