I thought this was Scrappleface.
Mugabe Moves Against City Whites (2-2-2006)
"some of those who lost their holdings are cynical about any offers from the government"
Only SOME?
Nice little Hitler mustache he's sporting these days.
Buh-bye...
Yeah, I'd fall for this one! Hahahaha!
Mugabe is a nut. If I was one of these farmers, I would have sold my land while it was still worth something and gotten the Hell out. Zimbabwe isn't exactly a model of a multiracial society.
Zimbabwe isn't exactly a model of a multiracial society.
One hundred years from now tours will go here and it will be heard "You mean people used to actually live here?" Or as Taylor said at the end of Planet of the Apes when he realized he was still on earth, "WE BLEW IT UP!!!!!"
Nothing will save Zimbabwe until Mugabe is dead.
I hope everyone of them turn their backs on the nutcase
Since he killed most of them, it should be an interesting trick.
Mugabe is 82 years old. When he dies, the shite is gonna hit the fan again. Who knows what will be standing after that?
Too stupid to take a egg the moron killed the goose
I can't even print what I think of this idiot.
He's the freaking poster-boy for what is wrong with Africa.
I wondered who the Commercial Farmers Union were and found this:
One of the most important issues that the CFU has had to deal with in recent years is land reform.
Of the over 4 000 commercial farmers who were on the land in the year 2000, there are now probably between 500 and 700 who are either fully or partially operational. So far 6,897 farms have been gazetted for resettlement with a total area of 11.6 million hectares. 543 farms covering 0.9 million hectares were subsequently de-listed leaving a total of 6,354 farms with an area of 10.7 million hectares currently listed for acquisition.
Elected members and staff of the CFU are pursuing ways to ensure the sustainability of commercial agriculture in Zimbabwe, while at the same time recognizing the need for land reform.

Note the need for land reform.
"Since he killed most of them, it should be an interesting trick."
You've just explained that strange "some are cynical" statement in the article. The ones who aren't cynical about this are dead.
Exactly, and the sooner the better for all of Zimbabwe.
Get out, get out now, and don't go back until Mugabe-Stalin either gets a severely acute case of lead poisoning (7.62mm) or otherwise assumes room temperature.
