Maybe, maybe not; by then, the damned CCP will have taken over.

It's NOT just farmers and food!

WHY, oh WHY do you suppose that there is not potable running water ( and it goes far beyond the recent droughts! ) and lack of 24 hour a day, 7 day a week, 12 months a year electricity!

When the last productive farmer leaves... They will either adapt, or start screaming for aid.

Tell them NO.

The UK used to take in whites who could PROVE that they were 100% to mostly BRIT heritage. So would a very few other Commonwealth nations; however, that door slammed TIGHTLY SHUT, quite a few years ago. Now, NONE will take them in!

The Netherlands have ALWAYS looked down on ALL Afrikaners, treated them like garbage, and have NEVER taken them!

Some of the original settlers were those few who had fled France, during King Louis the XIV murderous reign of terror against the Protestant Huguenots and settled in The Netherlands. And no, France won't take those either; never have done.

I'll go pull a book or two, OR you can just take my word for it.

And WHY, I hear you asking silently, should you take MY word? BECAUSE MY EXTENDED FAMILY HAS LIVED IN WHAT IS RSA FOR CLOSE TO 400 YEARS, I've been told the history AND have many books, from them, on the history. And yes, they are Afrikaners.

So, an unbiased source that’s unavailable to the public, screamed across the internet. Of course I believe you.

There may be some leeway for South Africans to move to Australia. In the last decade, Australia has taken in about 5,000 South Africans per year.

IT IS BOTH

IF BLACKS WERE SUCCESSFUL FARMERS THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS

BLACKS ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL FARMERS.

THIS AREA WILL STARVE

“I can’t bring to mind what you are referring to here. Explain?”

Senima and Manchin - they refused to nuke the filibuster. The TOP PRIORITY of the other 48 Democrat Senators was to lock-in Universal Mail-In Voting (HB 1), and to PACK THE COURTS, so they could have their dictatorship.

Some here refused to even vote in the Georgia runoffs in 2020 election to block the Democrat majority in the Senate...as they figured it couldn’t get any worse if Democrats had unconstested power.

...and so people think that way when they aren’t taught the horrors of Communism. That’s why it’s difficult to be optimistic about our future.

It was fairly recently, but I don’t recall the date; I just remember reading about it in UK and Aussies newspapers on line, a while back. If things have been changed, I am unaware of it. And yes, I do read a lot of foreign newspapers, on line, daily.

Oh, wow. Thank you for the reminder. The commies and commie wannabes are relentless on every side—no rest for the weary. And yes, Manchin and Senima did the right thing. I’m hoping for Fetterman to formally change sides in the near term.

Not "unavailable" to ALL members of the public; these books are readily available in RSA and perhaps other countries in Africa.

You don't have to take my word for it, I never claimed that you do; however, I know MORE about that nation than anyone else now on this site, I post post facts, that I know to be true, from impeccable sources, some of which I shan't divulge on an open thread, and none of which is through MY doing. It has nothing at all to do with me, in particular, none of can help who we may or may not know.

So do us both a BIG favor and just ignore my posts, remain uneducated, believing in fallacious drivel/propaganda, and we'll call it a day.

But I'll just leave you with the following...I may have a vivid imagination; however, even I would be hard pressed to come up with some of the things that I do now know, and which I post to help others know the facts about, concerning RSA.

“I’m hoping for Fetterman to formally change sides in the near term.”

He seems talk the talk, but not vote the talk. So he was very nice to Trump’s picks, but he still was loyal to the Dems when it came to voting. So, don’t get your hopes up very high for him.

Farms in California’s central valley have been deliberately starved of water by the democrats so insiders can buy up the land cheaply.
