......His mother, he says, built the 700-pupil local school, his father sat on the local council, and whenever his black neighbours need helping out - be it a fellow farmer borrowing a tractor, or the local police borrowing fuel for their cars - it is his door on which they knock.
....He has already handed over another farm he owns to a group of black settlers who turned up in 2006, since when, he says, he has done his best to be neighbourly.
He helps prepare the land for cultivation and offers advice when they need it, although driving through his estate, it is clear that some of what is now in black hands is being used for little more than subsistence agriculture.
Such goodwill, however, counts for little when groups of club-wielding "war veterans" - ostensibly men who fought in Zimbabwe's war for independence, but in practice often just hired thugs - turn up to demand a farmer's departure...
...What stung more, though, were the "Go back to Britain" slogans they shouted - meaningless to a man who is in fact of French Huguenot stock, has only ever held a Zimbabwean passport, and has nowhere else to go even if he wanted to.
Infuriatingly, the view that he has no longer a citizen of his own country is shared by the black prosecutor who will oversee his trespass case next week, who has described him in previous court appearances as merely a "visitor".
"I have never viewed myself as anything other than Zimbabwean, and that is what hurts me most," he said.
"We are not being looked at as citizens of this country, yet my father was born here before Robert Mugabe. What future do we have when you are fighting people of that mentality?"

This all reminds me of Girard College in Philadelphia. A high school, it was set up by Girard over 150 years ago as a school for white boys whose fathers had died. Girard’s will was broken in the 60s forcing them to accept blacks for the sake of “diversity”. It is now 94% black, 5% hispanic, and 1% asian and white. “Diversity”.
I think the press are a bunch of ideologues who can’t imagine that their end will be the same. It will be different this time. Dear leader would never do this to them. (sarcasm)
Salt the earth, burn your home and barns, destroy your machines and flip them all the bird as you take your family out of the dark continent. Within a few years they’ll all starve to death or kill one another. The civilized can’t live long among savages.
I had a African make the following observation to me in Africa.... “A black man cannot run any nation in Africa, so how can one run America?”
For them democracy ends with one man, one vote and they do not recognize that the English word democracy has 2000 years of political and philosophical evolution written into law. It has its own infrastructure and culture to support its meaning. Superficially to them it means one vote, one man but neglects all the rights, freedoms, liberties that are written into our law.
Sure they can parrot the words and play with the concepts like monkeys..... but at the end of the day all you have is monkeys and parrots playing. Its very similar to the mid eastern allah idiots. Democracy is antithetical to Islam, but the parrots and monkeys want to play in the word with fascination.
The White run state would have been attacked by the ANC and the Un for being racist. It would have been embargo-ed and sanctioned. Then ANC Terrorists would have waged a “Brush-fire” war until the whites figured they could no longer hold out.
THESE are the people we should be immigrating.
Any white farmers left alive in Zimbabwe helped Mugabe gain power.. and deserve what they get..
The next rulers will be Chinese.
Always remember that the biggest concern to the Democrats/liberals/progressives/socialists is that there are/will be too may people on this planet. And it’s not that they’re concerned about mass starvation or disease or war, they just don’t like seeing all those “other” people that they don’t like on “their” beach or hiking path or restaurant. And to them, starvation is an acceptable form of euthenasia as long as the old press doesn’t hold them accountable for it. Democrats....yep, they really are some ruthless assholes.
Good advice. These white farmers need to deal with reality and find a new country to farm in.
Hey this is what awaits white americans if current ideology ramins in place.
That sounds like a very small problem to fix. What exactly is the source of their power that Blackwater could not rebalance?
That worked real well for Stalin, as everyone was busy elsewhere.
Indeed. One wonders at what kind of dream world they live in, i.e. "What future do we have when you are fighting people of that mentality?". That should have bee readily apparent after the first "incident".
There was someone name "Cathy" from Zimbabwe who posted here about her experiences there as the place came apart. Why didn't she get outta Dodge while she still had anything, including her life? Wonder where she is now?
That’s my advice too, except I’d poison the well. I really don’t give a flip when I hear of people starving when its the result of their own racism and greed. I fear south africa is headed in this direction as well.
Israel and Taiwan get on just fine under boycott and embargo from a plethora of sources, both formal and informal. If nothing else they’d probably end up being a regional center for medicine, banking, agriculture, commerce, etc.
“There needs to be a majority whitey country created in southern Africa. Whiteys there need a homeland.”
It won’t be too much longer before you hear the same rumbles for the same in North America...
- Just sayin’....
