Best estimates that I can arrive at are that there were about 50,000 whites in Zimbabwe in 2000 when the farm invasion started but that the number is now about 35,000. Probably the percentage that are economically active is less than 50 percent.

Cathy Buckle estimated about 70,000 whites in her column about a fortnight ago, but I think that the figure is overly optimistic and probably based on old information.

The population of Zim was about 12.5 million in 2000 and estimates are now about 11.5 million.

Numbers are widely different depending on the sources and the age of the data.

There is also an estimate that the volkerwanderung that started as a consequence of the farm invasions has now reached a figure of 3 million souls, internally and externally.

You seem very close to Cathy and this. Why do you think she is so reluctant to leave? Could she and her family get out and go to Europe? the US? Oz? even South Africa as a stopover?

I know she feels 'African' and loves her land, but it must be clear to her that the scum running the place have the same fate in mind for her as the Nazis did for Jews. Starting over with nothing would be better than staying and letting the kaffirs slowly degrade you and your children and eventually kill you. Her children deserve better. At least get them out!
