The other part of the story, after 17 years they could not train enough natives to operate a farm. Not just planting
and harvesting but managing resources and so forth.
Those farmers would be idiots to return.
This is liberalism working the same as always. It’s a shame leftists are incapable of learning from making the same mistake over and over again.
I read where A MAJORITY would be happy to go back to Apartheid, because it was vastly superior to what they have now.
Granted, it was NOT a good system, and was very ‘racist’ but it succeeded economically and peoples lives were far better than they are now.
What someone needed to do was give them a copy of the US Constitution and tell them to implement that. (AS ORIGINALLY WRITEEN - including all amendments)
Let the sub-humans starve.
Wait’ you mean farming is not as simple as it seems and any black farm hand can run a farm?
Shocking...I know...
A real-life history lesson for idiot libtards (Bernie and Hitlery supporters) who favor wealth redistribution...those receiving it would be broke in a few months, if not weeks.
Some skillsets are innate to certain races and nationalities. Read the generations following Noah.
How in the hell did we get roped in to help “fund the program”?!?!
You mean to tell me socialism even when run by a sainted Black thug doesn’t work? Now WHO woulda thunk that?
Let them eat cake.
"Some analysts" blame it on Mugabe running all the farmers out of the nation and turning farms over to people who have no idea how to do it. I wonder what the rest of the analysts think caused it?
Once Whiteys get the farms functional again, the dictator will seize them back from Whitey and give them once again to people who don’t know what to do with them.
It may not be so much about training, as about IQ. There's a lot about modern farming which requires a certain minimum intelligence.
When known as Rhodesia, it was called the bread basket of Africa. Today a One Hundred Trillion Zimbabwe Bank Note sits on my desk and a little Fifty Billion note. Value is about $7.50 as a collector piece.
Farmers are attached to the wonderful growing land of Rhodesia. If farmers are let back in, Rhodesia can feed its own. What a wonderful idea. Maybe my notes will increase in value to $10.00
Several? Several?
My guess is the Poppy crops are dying.
Some years ago I worked with an Indian H1B programmer, and during lunch, we had some neat discussions.
First off, with his veddy Brit accent, I asked him if he was born in India or in the UK and he said the latter.
His dad had owned a business in Uganda when Idi Amin took over and soon started confiscating all the Indian-owned businesses. His dad bailed to the UK.
Amin gave those stores to his cronies, who ran through the inventory, didn’t know what to do next, and closed shop. The economy imploded. Amin, like Mugabwe, sent out a “all is forgiven” message to the Indians, wanting them to come back.
The kid said his father said something like “Once burned, twice shy”, gave Amin the middle finger, and stayed in the UK.
It seems that anybody but Africans can run a country successfully (South Americans are close behind, though).
US Constitution would Not work there. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people” Ben Franklin
