If I owned farmland in South Africa, I would sell it to aspiring black farmers at the best price I could get. They would buy, because we all know the land is going to those with connections, and those who merely have aspirations will get nothing. Then I would quickly leave the country before the famines hit. It’s a shame to see leftism destroying another country. This is why envy is number ten of the top ten list in Exodus.
The Boers did not take the land from black Africans i.e. Bantus. They did take it from Khoi/San- Bushmen which folks are unrelated to the Bantu. They are another race entirely. The Bantu were migrating southward when they met the Boers migrating northward. The Bantu also took land from the Khoi/San and killed as many as they could catch. In the matter of Boer and Bantu, the Boers were there first.
They can’t afford to buy it, that is why they have to steal it.
See what happened to Rhodesia...
All the ‘aspiring black farmers’ have been told outright that they will get the land & will pay nothing.
They don’t have assets to buy a farm, anyway. They don’t have a credit history to buy the land.
The biggest part of this land grab is the economic damage it will cause in South Africa & it will spread to other parts of that continent.
The country “land Bank’ holds most of those mortgages. If the land is seized from the current legal owners &
handed over’ to anyone/everyone, then no payments are being made on those mortgages. The ‘Land Bank’ will fail, and that kind of economic failure will spread until the damage is beyond belief.
This is no better than what happened in Zimbabwe. That country used to have farmers who grew enough food that surrounding countries benefited. Zimbabwe fed all of it’s own residents, and exported massive amounts of food to other places.
AFTER the whites were driven out/KILLED & blacks took over the farms there, it all collapsed. Today, Zimbabwe IMPORTS over 90% of their daily needs, and those farms are still NOT productive.
If you hand over such assets to persons who do NOT know how to properly use them, you are asking for a disaster.
