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?
Many of the ones that stayed had to take serious precautions
I think her name was Cathy bucket

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.

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.

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.

Canada & Australia, mostly.
I always looked forward to Kathy’s live reports from the hot zone.
And will blame them now for not bringing the economy back.
You would only be building it up for the ‘takers’ to take away again.
Like the ‘take credit’ dumbDems do EVERY TIME after
those awful Capitalist make it better.
