South Africa is slowly but surely approaching the Mugabe model for its white farmers, and the white population generally. 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. Instead, the "refugees" we get are indigents and thugs from Central America or the Middle East.

Since Ted Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act, it has been extraordinarily difficult for people with white skin to gain legal entry to the US. And South African whites certainly can never qualify for refugee status merely based on something trivial like risk of murder by black mobs. They would have be transgender pageant queens who could prove they were hated by Trump to qualify. :)

$100,000 for leasing the land.

Leasing ????

Why not SELLING the land to them. If the Russians would get their heads out of their ASSES and offer to SELL them the land they could have an agricultural program that could challenge the US in output.

I see famine relief operations in South Africa in the near future.

In the United States mid-west corn belt, $100,000 would buy, maybe, 20 acres of tillable ground. That’s why.

RT reports that according to the delegation, up to 15,000 farmers are planning to move to Russia.

Then they are fools. There is no question that all South African farmers need to escape the developing hellhole that they used to call home. But Russia is not the solution.

South African farmers considering emigrating to Russia need to read its history, particularly that of the German-Russians. They also were invited into Russia as farmers, and it became a prison.

Find another place. One that values liberty and personal freedom.

“Russia has 43 million hectares of unused farmland, and has recently begun giving out free land to Russian citizens to cultivate farming. The land giveaway program, which began in 2014, has been a huge success.” from: https://www.rt.com/business/432375-russia-south-africa-farmers/

There is no other place on earth which can absorb 15,000 productive farmers. However, $100,000 is way short for equipment.

All land was owned by the state under the Soviet Union. There were no “Farmers”, Stalin killed them all off, all agriculture was collective farms. When the Soviet Union went belly up, private ownership became an option and now about 7% of agriculture is done that way. This 7% accounts for nearly 50% of the agriculture production. Russia became the worlds largest exporter of wheat in 2017. Don’t know how this year’s crop is doing.

This is good news actually. It means SA will descend to miserable, impoverished and starving third world status, precisely where it belongs!

South Africa is/was a truly a first world nation. Zimbabwe wasn’t. When South Africa crashes and it will it will be dramatic!

15000 South African farmers may relocate to Russia

Once more the Russians are the sane people while we continue down the path of insanity.

I have been suggesting this for a while. The decadent West won’t let them in. Russia may not be the best choice but it is likely the only choice.

Just down the road from me, there is a farm with 110 acres up for sale. The “For Sale” signs have been up for months. Sure would be nice if a South African farmer knew about it and bought it. We’re a safe, family friendly community with farms that are being sold for development. I’d rather see healthy, thriving farms rather than housing developments here.
