Russia Today (RT) reports that a delegation of 30 South African farming families has arrived in Russia’s farm belt Stavropol Region with the group apparently saying it is facing violent attacks and death threats at home.
RT reports that according to the delegation, up to 15,000 farmers are planning to move to Russia. The group believes that government plans to expropriate their land will lead to increasing violence.
The report says that the farmers are prepared to contribute to Russia’s growing agricultural sector and each family is ready to bring up to $100,000 for leasing the land.
The report quotes “It's a matter of life and death — there are attacks on us. It's got to the point where the politicians are stirring up a wave of violence,” Adi Slebus told the media. "The climate here [in the Stavropol region] is temperate, and this land is created by God for farming. All this is very attractive.”

The only question is, why are they considering Russia rather than the US or Europe? These, some of the hardest working and most productive farmers and land managers in the world, are the sort of legitimate refugees we should be welcoming to the US and Europe.
And that guy just answered his own question.
White man can't jump, but he sure knows how to grow things!
I was thinking the same thing. The Russian government is only marginally less corrupt and brutal than the South African government, but at least it isn't motivated by anti-white hatred.
The real disgrace here is that western countries, including the US, seem to be far more sympathetic to the plight of Hondurans and Syrians than that of white victims of black rule in South Africa.
Happens everywhere blacks come into power.
We have hard working farmers. What makes you think we're experiencing a shortage?
True, but then Russia has a larger Muslim population (mostly from former Soviet Republics) than any European country and far larger than the US.
“Ask me what I think.”
I think you are correct! Black majority Africa is destined to return to the days of the “loincloth” and the dirt floored mud hut. The die was cast when, Blacks began to “retake” their “countries” from the whites who had raised them from their former “$hit hole” status. Our “investments” in Africa should stop. There is no reason to throw good money after bad. Ditto for Haiti. It’s all very sad, but also very true that Blacks have a problem not being able to govern themselves.
And what would they do here? One hundred thousand dollars wouldn't buy them a suburban house, much less lease a farm.

We're too busy taking in beggars and gang members from Honduran or Guatemalan slums and calling them "Dreamers."
“Why are they considering Russia rather than the US or Europe? “
Russia is probably actively courting them. Russia’s population growth has been stagnant for the last 30 years. Plus, the SA farmers will bring their expertise with them.
Zambia and Botswana are actually well-run stable countries (by African standards). That’s why you don’t hear about them in the news. It does not surprise me that Zambia is encouraging the white farmers to settle there. Botswana doesn’t offer the same opportunities, since it’s mostly desert.

Maybe they know they are not the “diversity” US/EU are desperately seeking.
If we can agree that it isn't our responsibility to take the refugees already trying to get here, then why is it our job to take these?
That's exactly what happened to Zimbabwe when Mugabe's boys killed or drove off most of the white farmers. They've made their bed, let them lie in it.
Importing farmers is a win win for any nation.
Many years ago I visited the south of Russia, the Kuban region near the Sea of Azov, with a small group. Excellent climate. And while touring we could see the deep black topsoil exposed in road cuts. Reminded me of what you see driving through Wisconsin countryside. They’ll do well if they set up there. And if they like Caviar, the Azov Sea has lots of Sturgeon fishing.
“I would choose Australia over Russia.”
You, me and every other sane human.
The Volga Germans were invited by Catherine the Great to help introduce more modern agricultural methods to the Russians.
