Somewhere in the bowels of Hell Charlie Manson is feeling ever-so-slightly vindicated.

It’s been 20 years since the blacks seized by force the farmland from whites.

How much knowledge, skills has been lost as well ability to keep the land fertile and healthy to grow foods again?

Did they throw in the towel or the trowel?

Unfortunately the “Black farmers” to whom the confiscated land was given, were not actually farmers, but political party members and former guerrilla fighters who knew NOTHING about farming. If I remember correctly, even the Blacks who were working for the White farmers and/or as share-croppers, were stripped of their land or driven off the formerly White own farms where they worked.

Yeah, cause when the white man rebuilds the country, the downtrodden black will let him keep the fruit of his labor. Not!

Let 'em starve. When they all die, then reclaim the land.

Exactly!

Let that society fall. Whitey is hated no matter how much prosperity and progress is brought to a region.

Before it was called Zimbabwe, it was called rhodesia. It was widely known as the gem of Africa.

The highly skilled farmers who they ripped off, killed and chased out, are an absolute hold mine for whichever country got the survivors. Understand their ag productivity is many times the others.

Now South Africa is chasing them away, total idiocy and self sabotage. Again whichever country gets them has won an amazing treasure they will profit from.

Do white farmers want the farms back after they were wrecked and probably would be taken again if they were rebuilt?

Not only that but the govt would steal farms again from the people who they gave them to if a better connected person thought it was too nice for them.

Zambia and Zim’s other neighbors are reaping the benefits from its stupidity.
