Zimbabwe cancels 4,000 farm deeds
Gulf Times ^ | 24 September, 2005

Posted on 09/24/2005 6:17:44 AM PDT by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

The Zimbabwean government has ordered the cancellation of title deeds for over 4,000 white-owned farms and vowed to take over all remaining white farms, a newspaper said on Friday. Patrick Chinamasa told reporters in the capital Harare that the cancellation of the deeds follows last month’s constitutional amendments barring white farmers from appealing to the courts against the government’s seizure of their land, the Herald newspaper said. “Government has directed the Registrar of Deeds to immediately nullify all title deeds to the 4,000 farms which have been nationalised,” the Herald said. Most of the farmers who had lost their land had challenged the takeovers in court. But last month lawmakers from President Robert Mugabe’s ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) party used their parliamentary majority to force through changes to the constitution which make all agricultural land state property. Agricultural production in Zimbabwe, once known as the breadbasket of southern Africa, has plunged dramatically in the years following the seizure of commercial farms for redistribution to new black farmers. – DPA

...once known as the breadbasket of southern Africa...

Now known as the "wastebasket" of southern Africa. Good to see that white oppression has ended and they can return to their natural state: famine and ethnic cleansing.

On the surface, keeping our DOMESTIC food supply secure, even economically, may appear to go against conservative principles. But, I'd sooner do so than rely on countries like Zimbabwe for my groceries. Hell, we're already between a rock and a hard place for oil!

Oh, fammine means nothing in Africa. it's a way of life.
Now that Zimbabwe has nationalized farms, and kicking those who know how to farm (the whites) out, The benifits should be seen in about a year.
It won't be like the Ukrainian famine though, because the west will send in food relief. Nobody knew about the forced famine in the Ukraine which killed well over 10 million people, because the NYT didn't tell anyone what their communist buddy's were doing.

At any rate, be prepared for Saturday TV to be morning to night pleas to give money to starving Africans. Don't forget, south Africa is doing the same thing, kicking out the white farmers.
I say let "allah' feed them. I sure as heck won't send a dime to racists.

Well, you have to admire determination; if the first time you do something insanely injust, criminal and plainly stupid and you suffer for it; it requires a lot of determinaton to do this again.

The ones doing it are not the ones who are suffering. Mugabe is not missing any meals or his armored limos.

I know I'll probaley get blasted but Africa was a better functioning continent when there were colonial powers present.There were established health care, educational,public services divisions that were run efficiently and trained the native countrymen; now the entire continent is one big cesspool run by corrupt,inept leaders who loot the countries tresuries and buy expensive cars,build massive mansions, erect statues of them selves and distribute monies to their cronies to stay in power.I do believe nothing will save these countries ever and we should not send a another dime to these bottomless donation pots. America has more than enough veterans and elderly that could be taken care of right here.

Mario Cuomo and Edward I. Koch (respectively, former Governor and former Mayor of New York State and NYC) were very vocal proponents of turning this prosperous, white led, contry over to rule by its black citizens. Now that Zimbabwe's "president for life", Mugabe, has shown himself to be a supreme racist thug and has completely destroyed his country, we hear nary a peep out of Cuomo and Koch and all the other POS liberals who are equally responsible for the tragedy that Rhodesia has become.

Ah, the good works that have been done since the British left and handed over the government to communists and dictators in Africa with the hellp of American communists and liberals united against God, country, and the family unit worldwide.
Beware of the communists of America who use political correctness to destroy our nation.
May the LORD GOD protect us from the evil of secular humanist ravages, I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, amen.

Why would you get blasted for stating the truth?

Africa is a waste of money. I agree 100% that we should quit pouring money into that cess pool.

We don't deserve to be protected from them, but then again, no one has ever deserved the grace of God.

You won't find many if any that would want to go.
They would have to be responsible (gasp!)for taking care of themselves.

If black people were granted their deepest desire; and every white man vanished from the face of the earth

Alright, whatever...

I wonder how long it would take before the world became a global ghetto?

Wow, I would have never guessed that blacks would have such a profound effect on the world. You don't think the Asians would do anything?

Some say 10 years, I think this is giving blacks too much credit. I think the answer would be less than a month.

Ouch.

Let's look at recent history.
Haiti, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and New Orleans...

Can you name ONE, just ONE country or city (anywhere on the face of the planet) ran by the black community, where you would want to live? It doesn't matter if you are black, white or 'other'. Just one.

More Blacks committing genocide on Blacks.

Where is the outrage when it is the whites who are in trouble.

Where is the Bosnia peace keepers, where is the UN saying this is wrong?

You or me won't have to send money....I'm sure our government will just send them millions and millions of our tax money to thank them for kicking out people who know how to give them food.
