Russia Today (RT) reports that a delegation of 30 South African farming families has arrived in Russia’s farm belt Stavropol Region with the group apparently saying it is facing violent attacks and death threats at home.
RT reports that according to the delegation, up to 15,000 farmers are planning to move to Russia. The group believes that government plans to expropriate their land will lead to increasing violence.
The report says that the farmers are prepared to contribute to Russia’s growing agricultural sector and each family is ready to bring up to $100,000 for leasing the land.
The report quotes “It's a matter of life and death — there are attacks on us. It's got to the point where the politicians are stirring up a wave of violence,” Adi Slebus told the media. "The climate here [in the Stavropol region] is temperate, and this land is created by God for farming. All this is very attractive.”

No productive, hetero, skilled, anti Communists are allowed, especially if they're White.
“Drop Bears”?
Do you mean tree dwelling Sloths?
The Chinese influence will be a sea-change in southern Africa. Like locusts, they want to loot the continent’s abundant natural resources. But they don’t want to colonize it. They just want the stuff. So the locals will be the labor force to dig it out of the ground for them. Those workers need a stable local food supply.
The Chinese will see to it that the any farmers who know how to grow food are taken care of to guarantee that local food supply.
Next up: South Africa demand the UN feed them.
Lol...sure it is.
Since Ted Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act, it has been extraordinarily difficult for people with white skin to gain legal entry to the US. And South African whites certainly can never qualify for refugee status merely based on something trivial like risk of murder by black mobs. They would have be transgender pageant queens who could prove they were hated by Trump to qualify. :)
With all the deranged SJWs in this country, they’d be fools to come here.
Going to any other mostly black country would be a big mistake. Within a fairly short period of time they would face the same problem. Whites as a group would be more successful than the native blacks giving rise to envy, followed by demonization and the desire to bring them down among the blacks.
however, if we allow any immigration at all, why aren't we taking refugees with strong work ethics and knowledge?...why not them instead of allowing people with far different morals/education/language/religion???
As someone else pointed out, Botswana and Zambia seem to be doing ok, but nobody ever talks about them.
White flight...this time, for their lives.
What’s interesting is that ultimately the US did take in a good part of the Volga Germans, after the Russians removed their autonomy, many settling in the Dakotas.
Australia...Canada...the US? OK.Russia? Bad idea.
Leasing ????
Why not SELLING the land to them. If the Russians would get their heads out of their ASSES and offer to SELL them the land they could have an agricultural program that could challenge the US in output.
China can have it.
Farmers value farmland. That kind of rules out Australia. The Africaaners know the value of P.C.—that rules out Canada.
Trump to them likely looks like an asset—perhaps a bigger asset than Putin—but then you have to compare the value of this asset with how the executive and the rest of the government are likely to function in the long term.
The choice to me seems at best ambivalent, and if my attachment to North America is taken into account, I am willing to concede that it may seem very clear to the South Africans.
I see famine relief operations in South Africa in the near future.
Hopefully Trump will have enough sense not to dump billions in US tax dollars in aid to South Africa, unlike Obama, Bush, and Clinton.
Are you saying they stopped doing that?
Bingo!
It amazes me that a nation-wide coalition of thousands of accomplished Black business leaders and politicians, working closely with inner city schools and the US government, have not effectively addressed that precise point.
IMO it is the community that needs to step up and take the lead in the solution to this problem with the government in a limited supportive role.
To add to your point: most of us here if Black and successful in our community would be ashamed of our community's slow and often worsening pace of development.
