South Africa criticises Australian plan to fast-track white farmer visas
The Guardian ^ | 3/14/3018 | Simon Allison

South Africa has criticized Australian home affairs minister Peter Dutton’s offer to fast-track the visas of its white African farmers, saying his comments on the supposed threat to their lives and land were “sad” and “regrettable”.

A spokesperson for international relations minister Lindiwe Sisulu, said: “There is no need to fear … we want to say to the world that we are engaged in a process of land redistribution which is very important to address the imbalances of the past. But it is going to be done legally, and with due consideration of the economic impact and impact on individuals.”

Mugabe took the bread basket of Africa and turned in into a waste dump... don’t think for one minute that Government Policy had nothing to do with that.

“If we can import unvetted muslims from Syria with no skills whatsoever, we sure as hell can bring in South African farmers.”

What land will the South African farmers farm once they are in the United States?

You're going to legally steal their property? How long before you legally start killing them?

Does anyone think the new Government will obstruct those who want to leave SA?

Here. Without the payment of bribes, I don't see them cooperating with this. Those people are hostages so far as the current power block is concerned.

The whites will be allowed to leave but their wealth will have to stay. This also happened in Zimbabwe. There was an active black market in smuggling white wealth out of the country. This will start happening in SA.

I am pretty sure, that Mandela was a believing Marxist, so I doubt the eventual “redistribution,” will set well with those whites that have their land taken from then.

Sad to say, the takers are low IQ and will wind up with declining economic productivity in the next decades.

Over the past 13 years, USA Farm Labor Inc. has brought thousands of seasonal ag workers from South Africa to the United States. The single most common destination for these workers are small family farms looking for one to three people to help them get the work done

“Many of our clients in North Dakota and Montana are just a husband-and-wife operation,” said Manuel Fick, chief executive officer of USA Farm Labor. “Maybe they have a son or daughter who works on the farm, or maybe their kids are going to college wanting to do something different. They’ll contact us for help getting one or two South Africans, and with that they can cope.”

Excerpted from Montana farmers turn to South Africa to fill labor gap. (2016)

Considering that many of the South African farmers are poor and will only be more poor when their land is seized by the ANC, how would you suggest they obtain farmland once they are in the United States?

They will have to find work on existing farms, or work other jobs until they can acquire the capital necessary to regain their own land.

It won't be easy, but it's better than being murdered or starved to death.

Put a couple regiments of Rangers around a runway and start airlifting them out. Let the government of SA bitch. But get them out with as much as they can carry in a couple of days. A one time offer,, get in the plane or stay and it’s on you.

Afrikaners work people here in the US into the dirt. We are a rare breed. Hell, give them scrub brush land out west. Be prepared though. It would be lush within 5 years. Afrikaners have dealt with drought for a very very long time. We find water even if it is 10,000 ft down or 20 miles that way. Think of the 1700’s and the balls those people had. An Afrikaner would call them wimps. We started with just scrub brush and made it into Africa’s food basket. At this point I say screw Africa and its crooks. You shake an Afrikaners hand on a deal agreement don’t waste the money on a contract. It is a done deal and he will perform.

“One of the requirements established by the U.S. Department of Labor to hire a foreign worker is that the potential employer must first place newspaper want-ads in at least four states seeking an American for the same job. According to Fick, to comply with this requirement, in 2015 USA Farm Labor advertised nationwide for 800 available farm labor positions.

They received just 10 responses


Fascinating article-——we are lazy.

Australia has shown that South Africa intends racist genocide. Not that it wasn’t obvious anyways.

This is exactly what I expected to happen back when they overturned their system of Apartheid.

White people might get philosophical and embrace this concept of equality for all mankind, but I would be shocked if very many black Africans would adopt this view.

This "equality" stuff (inspired by Christianity) is completely unnatural, especially in a tribal environment, where everyone who is not like you is an enemy.

You can witness the reality of this by noticing the wars among the Tutsis, Bantus, Hutus, and so forth.

A few million white South African immigrants in the right places could stave off the Hispanic-led Leftist takeover of the U.S. electoral college.

No...the feeling in RSA is that they would much rather KILL the whites.

And whilst Zimbabwe was once part of South Africa ( prior to the damned Brit invasion and take over ), the two nations were and are very different.
