Robert Mugabe says no whites may own land in Zimbabwe
CS Monitor ^ | July 3, 2014

Posted on 07/04/2014 5:47:26 PM PDT by xzins

“I have been given a list of 35 white farmers in Mashonaland West alone,” Mr. Mugabe told an emotional crowd in what was billed a patriotic speech. “We say no to whites owning our land and they should go. …

Mugabe, reelected last summer to his fifth consecutive term,

“There are white farmers who are still on the land and have the protection of some cabinet ministers and politicians as well as traditional leaders. That should never happen. They [whites] were living like kings and queens on our land and we chucked them out. Now we want all of it.”

At the turn of the century Mugabe, a former guerrilla leader, unleashed waves of violent land acquisition by war veterans aligned to his political party. Thousands of white commercial farmers were forced out under a so-called “indigenization” land reform policy.

Since then, Zimbabwe has been in an economic tailspin, with banks collapsing and with the government unable to pay the wages of many in the civil sector.

Much of the land previously taken by those in the Mugabe regime has benefited the security, police and military wings of the leader’s circle.

This has been going on in Zimbabwe for years. Cathy Buckle has been righting about the loss of her farm and the farms of her neighbors for at least 15 years.

Many of the former employees stand with the former farmers because they know that Mugabe’s way is the way of starvation and poverty.

Classic scapegoating from another oppressive tyrant to focus anger and responsibility away from himself.

Sort of like the projection of the Democrat party and Obama.

I love Mugabe. A perfect example of what is possible. We can all watch from a distance. Thuggery works in most of the world. Someday a leader os going to call for someone’s ouster and it will start a chain reaction for freedom. All we need to do is insist that they take names b4 they kick A$$.

Does this mean President Obama would not be allowed to own property in Zimbabwe?

Probably in his third term when he declares President for life. I hope that is not a prediction.

"I don't see it. "

Bammy is a mulatto. It's a subtle thing only H0lder can understand.

Mugabe would have made a good project for Carlos Hathcock.

“The black liberation movement here wants the same thing.”

Never; many know without whites they’d be living like Somalis (no indoor plumbing, sanitation, education, medicine). What they want here is an idle life of luxury.

I’m sure Obastard and Holder would love to do exactly what Mugbe has done.
