The few that are left will have to wait their turn for water. New law. Blacks get first dibs on water. That’ll kill off the few remaining white farmers.

Under the ANC’s draft regulations, business owners that use more than 250,000 cubic meters of water would need at least 25 percent Black ownership, with that share going up to 50 percent for those needing more than 500,000 cubic meters and up to 75 percent for those requiring more than a million cubic meters.

On Thursday, Steenhuisen, who could replace Ramaphosa if the DA wins next year’s general election, argued that denying water to farmers who don’t meet those quotas could have devastating impacts on South Africa’s economy.

“Under these water race quotas, livestock will be left to die from thirst because a farmer has the ‘wrong’ skin color. Fields will go fallow because those who till it are ‘undesirable.’ Hundreds of thousands of workers, from all backgrounds, will lose their jobs as the parched agriculture and mining industries wither and die,” he said.
