Living not far away from South Africa, we have had some Boer farmers purchase land and move some operations here. They see the writing on the wall, and a few are already moving out. They are known as excellent farmers. Our gain and South Africa’s loss.
Some years ago in Zimbabwe the Mugabe regime pushed the white farmers and businessmen out. While Zimbabwe had been the breadbasket of Africa, this ended with the ouster of the white farmers. A few years later Zimbabwe was all apologetic and begged the whites to come back.
The leadership in South Africa probably does not want a repeat of the situation in Zimbabwe. They are pulling what strings they have in the white community to try and convince people not to leave. However as I have seen, the white farmers have already begun moving out.
I believe Botswana and Zambia have welcomed the white farmers.
