South African farmer Piet Kemp inspecting baby corn in Sartichala, Georgia
A South African court on September 12 convicted Julius Malema, president of the African National Congress Youth League, of hate speech for singing "shoot the Boer, kill the Boer" at a rally last year. But some Boers (white South African farmers) say they have had enough of violence and racial tension in South Africa and are planning to move out. VOA's James Brooke visited one Afrikaner who started farming this year in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia.
Piet Kemp's family farmed in southern Africa for four centuries. But now at age 66, this Afrikaner farmer has traded South Africa's Eastern Transvaal for Eastern Georgia. Here, he is reviving wheat and corn production on what was once a Soviet collective farm. Kemp says he has no regrets:
"I have a new life here," said Kemp. "I try to make friends with all the people in Georgia, learning their culture. I have been here since 3rd of March, and I have not heard of one murder in Georgia in this time. I didn't hear about any bank robbery. I didn't hear about any one hijacking."
It was not just high crime rates that prompted Kemp to leave South Africa. "There is no security of land, absolutely no security of land in South Africa," Kemp added.

and in no time, he will encounter overt, government-sponsored anti-white racism here as well

Do they have lots of different ethnic groups in Georgia? I thought the Georgians were mostly Caucasian.
Think you confuse the Georgia he is speaking about.
Not Georgia, U.S.A., but Georgia former USSR.
LOL, Place is over run with illegals.

In before someone thinks this is in Georgia USA instead of the Republic of Georgia...
...oops, too late.
“I have a new life here,” said Kemp. “I try to make friends with all the people in Georgia, learning their culture. I have been here since 3rd of March, and I have not heard of one murder in Georgia in this time. I didn’t hear about any bank robbery. I didn’t hear about any one hijacking.”
Sounds like a great deal for anyone who wants to work and especially for the country of Georgia and its people. Reviving those states of the old Socialist Republic is a good idea. Good for him. I hope he is very successful and the example for more to follow. Some countries like his own are just bent on destroying themselves - much as we see happening here today.
Meanwhile some of us here also look for a place to run to - Georgia would not have been a country first on our list. I would expect the weather is pretty doggone extreme. Days without murders and crime of all sorts does sound pretty darned good tho’....
Notice that while they may be Caucasian, they’re right next to a black sea. There goes the neighborhood!
Mind you, it’s the Russians, Ossetians, and Chechyns they ought to be worried about.
Wish him luck, but he may be trading one set of problems for another.
How long till the new neighbors get jealous and start acting against the immigrants?

Not the US Georgia. lol.
That is the Georgia that the Russians attacked a few years back.
Look at the map and know that South Ossetia and Abkhazia use to be part of Georgia. Russia has invaded Georgia very recently so I wouldn’t exactly call it a safe country.
Georgia is where the golden fleece was located. (Greek mythology)
That turkey’s big enough to eat them.
Nahhh, they’re peaceful muslims...
The vanquished fleeing the victor, an old story.
