JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- South Africa's minister of land reform says black farmers have resold nearly 30 percent of the white farmland bought for them by the government - often back to the previous white owners.
Minister Gugile Nkwinti announced the startling indicator of failure at Wednesday's launch of a long-delayed government policy paper to revitalize plans to more equitably distribute agricultural land, redressing historical wrongs.

This (white) family had been farmers in Zimbabwe for five generations, they weren’t rich, but successful. There was four boys under the age of 8 and their house was stormed in the middle of the night. They were run off the farm by machete wielding thugs and luckily no one was killed. They did lose everything they ever owned though. The dad had a brother with a farm who hadn’t been attacked yet (although he would in matter of weeks and did not live because he fought back) and they stayed there until the family gathered enough money to send the family to the US. An uncle was here and sponsored them. The dad decided to stay, but not on a farm, in Zimbabwe. He said that no one worked the farms that were taken. Just harvested what was ready and it’s all grown over now. And even though the idiots either WON’T work it, or CAN’T because they have no idea what they are doing, whites cannot go back and claim the farms.
This article confirms my suspicions that they would eventually be desired back to their farms... for a price. And for what? To be robbed again once the hard work is done? Good luck you morons.
Act like a thug barbarian, get treated like a barbarian.
You know I often wonder the same thing. Why is that the entire continent of Africa can't produce? Is it genetic? Is it cultural? Is it just plain laziness?
After 60 something years on this planet, I have come to the conclusion that many cultures are superior in their offerings than other inferior cultures. I also believe, and yes I'm a racist, that certain races naturally excel over others. I'm thinking the Asian types who study hard and become accomplished members of society and become highly educated engineers. Whites not as much, blacks and hispanic even less. So yes, I am a racist and in believing some races more accomplished, but more importantly I am a culturalist. You can compare numerous cultures around the world and never have the same beneficial outcome to western society. Just the way it is. Still, individuals are to be respected, tolerated, and understood. As long as the homos stay away from me...haha!
