South African radical: White farmers should 'leave the keys' when they go
American Thinker ^ | 03/22/2018 | Rick Moran

Posted on 03/22/2018 9:28:11 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

We've been covering the ongoing tragedy for white farmers in South Africa for more than a year, culminating in a law passed by the radical South African parliament that expropriates white farmland that's been in the same family for hundreds of years without compensation.

Predictably, this has set off a wave of violence against white South African farmers that has led to the death of one white every five days, according to Newsweek:

Activists say South African authorities are tacitly approving attacks on the country's white farmers, with one being murdered every five days, and the police turning a blind eye to the violence.

The white nationalist lobbying group AfriForum says that when lawmakers passed a motion last month which could see land being seized from farmers without compensation, it sent a message that landowners could be attacked with impunity.

It said there have been 109 recorded attacks so far in 2018 and 15 farm murders, meaning that this year, one white farmer has been killed every five days.

In a statement, Ian Cameron, AfriForum's Head of Safety said: "Our rural areas are trapped in a crime war. Although the South African government denies that a violence crisis is staring rural areas in the face, the numbers prove that excessive violence plague these areas."

They may be "white nationalists," but that doesn't mean they should be slaughtered.  But the radical black government claims it's a lie and that white farmers who are now fleeing to Australia should "leave the keys" to their houses and their tractors when they go.

News.com:

IF WHITE farmers want to flee for a "racist country" like Australia they should leave the keys to their houses and tractors behind, the head of South Africa's radical Marxist opposition party says.

leave the keys? haha - burn the buildings to the ground, salt the fields and throw livestock down the well. Leave it as you found it centuries ago - a desolate and lifeless land of cannibals and genocidal gangs.

I’ve wondered for years why any whites remained in South Africa?

You state that British companies did this. Was the new government impounding and taking possession of these businesses?

I wouldn’t have blamed the Venezuelan companies for doing the same when their businesses were taken over in the name of the people.

History does repeat itself. That’s exactly what the Nazis told the Jews before they let them escape that madhouse. And those were the lucky ones.

History repeats. A country that supplied enough food to feed itself and half the continent will end up just like Zimbabwe

I am certain that South Freakin' Africa will end up exactly like Zimbabwe after it expels its white farmers (who we should grab up into the U.S. as English speaking skilled hard workers). If I were a white farmer there, I'd sell up if I could get anything for my farm, destroy any equipment, ruin the buildings, and get the heck out. I don't think it's necessary to sow the fields with salt, because the Africans won't be capable of achieving excellent harvests like the skilled white farmers. Soon, South Africa will be in the midst of a great famine. Hey idiots, you can't eat ideology!

That only moves the time line up a little bit.

Even if they left the keys, it will all fall apart.

Plow salt into the fields. Pour cement into the wells.
Kinda what I was thinking. Scorched earth.

Exactly. Precisely what should be done.

Remember this when you see the commercials with South African babies with flies all over them.

Nothing here about the consequences of the HIV epidemic, I see. Try that one for rotting corpses of children when both parents have died from HIV.

I never saw this coming.

Some of South Africa’s neighbors, like Zambia, are wising up and offering to take in white farmers, to help spur their agriculture.

And they would be foolish to go there.

Leave Africa. But for people of European decent, there is few places to go.

Burn Houses, Barns, Equipment, slaughter livestock.

Destroy ANYTHING of use.

No need to bother with that. Leave the farms in perfect condition with plenty of fertilizer and tractors. South Africa will still be starving within a few years.

Yep. Remember when Zimbabwe did it, the "new ownership" ate the seed corn (maize?).

I wonder if Little Steven, Bono, etc. are going to go back and re-record “Sun City”?

Next Step: After starvation sets in, go to the UN and demand money and food (aka welfare) and blame your problems on the farmers you chased out of SA.

I’d leave the keys all right...broken off flush in the locks. Then when they finally got in they would find out what a Claymore mine is.

I would rig the house with explosives before I walk away.

Whites would be considered people “of color” there.

I would sabotage everything I had to leave behind too.

I’d have my plane ticket out and light any buildings on fire as I left for my flight. Tires would be slashed, engines filled with sand, it would break my heart but I’d do it.
