Here’s a story you won’t see the mainstream media cover, ever: the white African farmers once demonized and stripped of their land and livelihoods under Robert Mugabe’s Marxist dictatorship in Zimbabwe didn’t just vanish into thin air. These fighters packed up, crossed the border, and rebuilt. And guess what? They’re doing amazing.
If you don’t recall, back in the early 2000s, Zimbabwe’s government kicked off a so-called “land reform” plan that drove white farmers off their land, often violently, and handed them over to Black Zimbabweans. Roughly, about four thousand white farmers were forced out, and many were attacked or killed. And right on cue, once they were gone, the country’s farming industry went down the tubes. It got so bad that now, years later, Zimbabwe is actually paying those same white farmers for the buildings and equipment they lost.
So, what happened to those white farmers?
...
Many made their way to Zambia, which is just due north of Zimbabwe and right next door to South Africa. The government opened its arms, and as a result, Zimbabwe went from Africa’s breadbasket to a starving wasteland.
Zambia saw an opportunity: keep skilled, hard-working people on the land and feed the nation.
It worked.
The same farmers who were branded “colonizers” are now major contributors to Zambia’s booming agriculture industry, bringing modern irrigation, livestock care, and grain production that is keeping families fed and the economy stable.
This white farmer, who was chased out of his home in Zimbabwe, is mostly just thriving, thanks to his corn harvest; he’s also turning blueberries into sugary gold, too.
...
These farmers are back in the driver’s seat where they belong. They should’ve never been terrorized in the first place, but this is a hard lesson in DEI gone wrong, and one South Africa should’ve paid attention to.
Meanwhile, look at these white Zimbabwean farmers now: working hard and building something real, making huge strides for themselves and their new home.
...
However, right next door, South Africa, the world’s first country rebuilt on Critical Race Theory and DEI fairy tales, is also unraveling. The same toxic lie that wrecked Zimbabwe is alive and well in Pretoria and Cape Town: that taking land from “colonizers” will magically fix centuries of problems. Instead of a happy, blissful ending, South Africa got power cuts, water failures, and skyrocketing crime, proving that equity doesn’t plow fields or balance budgets
...
Even Harvard had to admit that CRT and affirmative action killed South Africa.
...
Thousands of South Africa’s white farmers have been harassed, robbed, and murdered under governments that either turn a blind eye or openly cheer on this sadistic racial revenge politics. Of course, our media calls this a “conspiracy theory” and won’t touch it. So when the South African president visited the White House, President Trump didn’t waste the moment. He showed him a video of African officials literally calling for the killing of white farmers.
...
As a result of this racist terrorism and abuse, many white African farmers have fled to the United States or Australia, anywhere their families can sleep safely and farm in peace.
We’re thrilled both the South African and Zimbabwe farmers escaped their government’s race-communism and found a saner home where their talents are valued. But it shouldn’t have been this way. How long before the same virus—“take everything from the colonizer”—creeps ”into Zambia and tries to destroy what’s actually working?
...
Until these African governments learn to build instead of loot, to grow instead of steal, and to drop this half-baked divine right to take what they never built in the first place, they’ll keep burning down what few blessings they still have left.
Who’d a thought.
Never going to happen.
Commies, Socialists, democRATS and DemoKKKrats are experts at "building" bureaucracy. They only want to "build" power and wealth for themselves.

May the dispossessed continue to thrive wherever!
Nice post.

How long before the same virus—“take everything from the colonizer”—creeps ”into Zambia and tries to destroy what’s actually working?It's called the "Tocqueville Effect"
The hatred that men bear to privilege increases in proportion as privileges become fewer and less considerable, so that democratic passions would seem to burn most fiercely just when they have least fuel. I have already given the reason for this phenomenon. When all conditions are unequal, no inequality is so great as to offend the eye, whereas the slightest dissimilarity is odious in the midst of general uniformity; the more complete this uniformity is, the more insupportable the sight of such a difference becomes. Hence it is natural that the love of equality should constantly increase together with equality itself, and that it should grow by what it feeds on.
Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, Volume I (1835), Chapter III.
White man can’t jump but he sure do know how to grow stuff!
The article says several times that Zambia is right next door to South Africa. I guess the writer has never looked at a map. Zambia is north of Zimbabwe, which makes it well north of SA. Zambia shares no border with SA.
Once your farm goes black, it never comes back.
“white Zimbabwean farmers”
Actually they were Rhodesian farmers, and had no interest in becoming Zimbabwean.
One of the reasons they left.
Mozambique is welcoming them too. Most places nowadays you can only lease the land, not buy it.
