South African politician says Australia is a "racist country", farmers should "leave the keys" when they go

SOUTH Africa's radical opposition leader says white farmers should leave for "racist" Australia, but insists "we are not killing them".

Silent slaughter - Farm attacks in South Africa

IF WHITE farmers want to flee for a "racist country" like Australia they should leave the keys to their houses and tractors behind, the head of South Africa's radical Marxist opposition party says.

But Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema, who recently declared his party was "cutting the throat of whiteness", denied white farmers were being killed. "We don't know violence, we know negotiations," Malema told a packed Human Rights Day rally in Mpumalanga Stadium on Wednesday.

"And we are very robust in our engagement sometimes. A racist country like Australia says: "The white farmers are being killed in South Africa." We are not killing them. Now Australia says: 'Malema, EFF want to kill white farmers, they must come to Australia."

"If they want to go, they must go. They must leave the keys to their tractors because we want to work the land, they must leave the keys to their houses because we want to stay in those houses. They must leave everything they did not come here with in South Africa and go to Australia."

His comments came as Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton stared down criticism from "crazy lefties" as he pushed on with plans to bring white South African farmers to Australia.

"They don't realise how completely dead they are to me," Mr Dutton told Sydney radio station 2GB on Thursday.

"ONLY RACISTS WENT TO AUSTRALIA"

Malema, who was convicted of hate speech in 2011 for singing the apartheid-era revolutionary song Shoot the Boer, Kill the Farmer and in 2016 told supporters he was "not calling for the slaughter of white people, at least for now", said farmers should "leave quietly".

"We're too busy," he said. "Don't make noise, because you will irritate us. Go to Australia. It is only racists who went to Australia when Mandela got out of prison. It is only racists who went to Australia when 1994 came. It is the racists again who are going back to Australia."

But he said they would be "poor in Australia". "They are rich here because they are exploiting black people. There is no black person to be exploited in Australia, they are going to be poor."

"They will come back here with their tail between their legs. We will hire them because we will be the owners of their farms when they come back to South Africa. As to what we are going to do with the land, it's our business, it's none of your business.

"We want Africa back. Africa belongs to our people.

"We are saying that which our people were killed for ... has not been achieved, and therefore we will continue with that struggle. When we say so, they say we are racist, they say we want to kill white people. Why would we kill white people?

"Our mothers and fathers are not murderers. The white settlers found them here, they killed them, they forcefully removed them, yet our people kept on saying: Let's talk."

"Today we say: Let's talk like our parents kept on saying to you. Let's talk about how we are going to expropriate land without compensation. Then when we say so, they say we want to kill them."

Last month, South Africa's parliament voted in favour of a motion, brought by the EFF and supported by the ruling African National Congress, to begin the process of expropriating white-owned land without compensation.

A 2017 government audit found white people owned 72 per cent of farmland in South Africa. According to the 2011 census, there are about 4.6 million white people in South Africa, accounting for 8.9 per cent of the population.

The racially charged issue of land rights and farm murders has been the subject of fierce debate in the country and internationally.

According to civil rights group Afriforum, which represents around 200,000 white farmers largely from the Afrikaner minority, 82 people were killed in a record 423 attacks on farms last year. In 2018 so far, there have already been 109 attacks and more than 15 murders.

Afriforum says it is forced to compile its own numbers because the South African government " which denies the attacks are racially motivated or that white farmers are killed in disproportionate numbers " stopped releasing farm murder statistics in 2008.

"Our rural areas are trapped in a crime war," Afriforum head of safety Ian Cameron said in a statement, adding that torture with irons, blowtorches, melted plastic and boiling water often continued for hours during the attacks.

"Although the South African government denies that a violence crisis is staring rural areas in the face, the numbers prove that excessive violence plague these areas. Government cannot deny the facts ' our people are being mowed down."

"PEOPLE ARE BEING SAVAGELY ATTACKED"

Mr Dutton outraged South Africa's government earlier this month when he floated the idea of fast-tracked humanitarian visas for white South African farmers, saying they faced "horrific circumstances' and needed help from a "civilized country".

"The South African government is offended by the statements which have been attributed to the Australian Home Affairs Minister and a full retraction is expected," South Africa's foreign ministry said in a statement at the time.

"That threat does not exist. There is no reason for any government in the world to suspect that a section of South Africans is under danger from their own democratically elected government."

On Thursday, Mr Dutton said he was unperturbed by "mean cartoons" and negative media coverage. "We just get on with making decisions that we need to," he told 2GB.

He insisted he was blind to skin colour and would continue to bring in migrants based on the national interest. "It concerns me that people are being persecuted at the moment " that's the reality " the numbers of people dying or being savagely attacked in South Africa is a reality," he said.

"We're looking at ways we can help people to migrate to Australia if they're finding themselves in that situation."

Mr Dutton said he had been inundated with messages of support and references to particular cases of white South African farmers in need of help. "We'll start to work through those and if people meet the criteria under the program then they'll settle under the program here," he said.

"If people think I'm going to cower or take a backward step because of their nonsense, fabricated, fake news criticism, then they've got another thing coming."

Mr Dutton's offer was earlier branded as "out-and-out-racist" by Greens leader Richard Di Natale and was slapped down by Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, but supported by former Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Liberal Democrats Senator David Leyonhjelm.

On Thursday, Nationals MP Andrew Broad called on his Coalition colleagues to reconsider the offer, warning South Africa could face food shortages if white farmers left. 'The black South African farmers certainly have not proven themselves," Mr Broad told ABC radio.

"They need the skill-set of the white South African farmers if they're going to have any chance of feeding the population. If we take away the farmers from South Africa, we rob them of the capacity to farm that ground and ultimately feed the population."

An estimated 500,000 white South Africans have left the country over the past three decades, with more than 200,000 settling in Australia.

This is beyond infuriating beyond belief! Ive known more than a few boers and one Rhodesian that moved to South Africa ... I cant imagine the horrors that they are going through.

If they are going to start taking over property with no compensation Id hand over burned land, buildings, facilities with destroyed equipment... leave it the way their ancestors found it when they trekked inland!

White farmers flee South Africa in fear of land grab

Aislinn Laing, Johannesburg

March 23 2018, The Times

White farmers in South Africa are planning to emigrate after the government announced plans to take their land without compensation.

This month, MPs from the ruling African National Congress backed a motion calling for white-owned land to be seized, prompting farming unions to warn of a repeat of the land grabs in Zimbabwe, after which agricultural production collapsed.

President Ramaphosa has insisted he will not make the same mistakes as Zimbabwe but farmers are deeply uncertain of their future, prompting the younger generation to either emigrate or leave family farms for jobs in cities.

One specialist at a Johannesburg company arranging emigration to Australia said there had been a surge in inquiries. "We've had a huge number of calls,"

South Africa to change constitution to legalize taking away white farmers’ land


“The ANC will through the parliamentary process finalize the proposed amendment to the constitution that outlines more clearly the conditions under which expropriation of land without compensation can be effected.”

RT - August 1, 2018


South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has said the ruling African National Congress must initiate a parliamentary process to enshrine in the constitution a proposed amendment, paving the way for land grabs without compensation.

Ramaphosa, who vowed to return the lands owned by the white farmers since the 1600s to the country’s black population after he assumed office in February this year, said on Tuesday that the ANC would introduce a constitutional amendment in parliament.

“The ANC will through the parliamentary process finalize the proposed amendment to the constitution that outlines more clearly the conditions under which expropriation of land without compensation can be effected,” Ramaphosa, a prominent trade union leader and a close associate of Nelson Mandela, said in a televised address on Tuesday.

The millionaire ex-businessman argued that “it has become pertinently clear that our people want the constitution to be more explicit” about the proposal, which is viewed by the South African white minority as forceful expulsion that can incite violence against farmers.

There have been growing fears that the planned expropriation will deal a blow to commercial farming in the country and might put it on the verge of a food production crisis, like the one that struck Zimbabwe when it unleashed a similar crackdown on white farmers in 1999-2000.

Promoting his plan to boost land redistribution in March, Ramaphosa sought to assure white citizens, who constitute roughly nine percent of the total population, that the government would handle the controversial matter through “dialog, discussion, engagement, until we find good solutions that take our country forward.”

“There is no reason for anyone of us to panic and start beating war drums,” he said at the time, noting that nothing should prevent farming activities from continuing as normal.

However, many of the Boers, descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa, do not take the government’s promises at face value, instead seeking asylum abroad from what they say is a surge in violence and government-fueled hostility against them.

Last month, a call from Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to provide emergency visas for South Africa’s white farmers, who are reportedly facing persecution at home, sparked a diplomatic scandal, with the head of the South African opposition labeling Australia “a racist country” for granting refuge to white farmers both in the Mandela era and now.

Boers have also appealed to Russia, seeking to resettle farmers who no longer feel at home in South Africa. A delegation consisting of some 30 South African farming families arrived in Russia’s farm belt Stavropol Region last month, asking the local authorities to consider resettling up to 15,000 Boers.

Moving “is a matter of life and death” for them the head of the delegation told the media.

The region’s Deputy Commissioner for Human Rights Vladimir Poluboyarenko told RT earlier there is a plan in place to resettle up to 50 Boer families and potentially some 500, who would arrive to Stavropol with their own cattle.

This destruction of the farms is a replay of Rhodesia (Zim whatever now) going from the bread basket of Africa to a place where folks are starving and dependent on the UN for food.

After talking to a couple of folks I know in South Africa, it is a repeat of the destruction of the Rhodesian nation! Whites are leaving South Africa in droves as soon as they can get visas out to somewhere. Most desired destination is the US but the Obamanation quotas have them shut out because they are white and Christian!

I know several people over there and the situation is critical.

All the whites in SA and Rhodesia should pick a sustainable area and move there in mass. Seize the area and declare it an all white, independent state...then shoot every Kafir that dares cross their border. When the Boers are gone the savages deserve to starve.

This will not end well.

Quote
The official Twitter account of South Africa's ruling African National Congress appeared to call all of the nation's white citizens murderers and said it was a mistake to consider their views. The tweet was later deleted and a subsequent tweet said they were quoting someone else. But critics note the tweet wasn't a retweet, wasn't in quotes and wasn't attributed to anyone and that the ANC hasn't explained why it quoted that person to begin with. The ANC explained further that they were quoting somebody who came to speak at a public hearing of the parliament's constitutional review committee.

South Africa to Seize Private Farms

[img]https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/def...ne-images/2018-08-20_0.jpg?itok=yrR_3lah[/img]

South Africa to soon mimic Venezuela

By Infowars.com Monday, August 20, 2018

As Infowars predicted through past interviews, South Africa is seizing privately-owned farms, as reported by international media.

“The South African government has begun the process of seizing land from white farmers,” reports Frank Chung of news.com.au. “Local newspaper City Press reports two game farms in the northern province of Limpopo are the first to be targeted for unilateral seizure after negotiations with the owners to purchase the properties stalled.”

“While the government says it intends to pay, owners Akkerland Boerdery wanted 200 million rand ($18.7 million) for the land — they’re being offered just 20 million rand ($1.87 million).”

Simon Roche, who’s been documenting the situation in South Africa, came on the Alex Jones in Nov. 2017 – and more recently in March – to warn that this would happen:

‘Zimbabwe-fication’ Begins: Farmers Panic As South Africa Seizes First White-Owned Land


Since the end of apartheid in 1994, the ANC has followed a “willing seller, willing buyer” process to redistribute white-owned farms to black Africans.

By Zero Hedge Tuesday, August 21, 2018

South Africa’s white farmers have been desperately trying to sell their lands at record pace ahead of planned government land seizures, according to a local farmer’s union. However, there are no buyers.

As Ryan Martinez writes for PlanertFreeWill.com, tensions among the country’s white farming community have been rising since the election of Cyril Ramaphosa who assumed office earlier this year and committed his African National Congress (ANC) to land expropriation.

ANC chairman Gwede Mantashe sparked panic last week when he said:

“You shouldn’t own more than 25,000 acres of land. Therefore, if you own more it should be taken without compensation.”

“People who are privileged never give away privilege as a matter of a gift,” he continued. “And that is why we say, to give you the tools, revisit the constitution so that you have a legal tool to do it.”

Mantashe comments were condemned by both white and black farmers, with unions predicting such a move would lead to job losses and a situation in which South Africa may no longer be able to feed itself.

Omri van Zyl, head of the Agri SA union, which represents mainly white commercial farmers, said:

“The mood among our members is very solemn. They are confused about the lack of any apparent strategy from the government and many are panicking.

So many farms are up for sale, more than we’ve ever had, but no one is buying.”

“Why would you buy a farm to know the government’s going to take it?”

The National African Farmers’ Union (Nafu), which represents the country’s black farmers, said the scheme would lead to job losses.

Nafu president Motsepe Matlala said:

“From a practical and economical point of view it will not work.”

“Land will be a central issue in the looming 2019 election year, and rhetoric is always easier than transformative action.”

AfriForum, an influential lobby group, recently warned the government its plans would be “catastrophic”. Ian Cameron, the group’s spokesman, said: “We’re really heading for a state of anarchy if something doesn’t change drastically.”

Local newspaper City Press is reporting that two game farms in the northern province of Limpopo were the first to be targeted for unilateral seizure after negotiations with the owners to purchase the properties stalled.

While the government says it intends to pay, owners Akkerland Boerdery wanted 200 million rand ($18.7 million) for the land. However, they are being offered just 20 million rand ($1.87 million).

The farmers were forwarded a letter earlier this year which stated:

“Notice is hereby given that a terrain inspection will be held on the farms on April 5, 2018, at 10 am in order to conduct an audit of the assets and a handover of the farm’s keys to the state. Akkerland Boerdery obtained an urgent injunction to prevent eviction until a court had ruled on the issue, but the Department of Rural Development and Land Affairs is opposing the application. “

“What makes the Akkerland case unique is that they apparently were not given the opportunity to first dispute the claim in court, as the law requires,” AgriSA union spokeswoman Annelize Crosby told the paper.

The newspaper said employees at the department had been ordered to press ahead with the process at the Land Claims Court. If the seizures go ahead, it would be the first time the state refuses to pay market value for land.

Since the end of apartheid in 1994, the ANC has followed a “willing seller, willing buyer” process to redistribute white-owned farms to black Africans.

A 2017 government audit found white people owned 72 percent of private farmland in South Africa.

According to the 2011 census, there are about 4.6 million white people in South Africa, accounting for 8.9 percent of the population.

ANC spokesman ZiZi Kodwa refused to reveal details of the farms being targeted and has attempted to calm investor fears, adding the proposed seizures were “tied to addressing the injustices of the past”.

“Over time I think the markets, as well as investors, will appreciate that what we are doing is creating policy certainty and creating the conditions for future investment,” he told the press.

”The government was accused of drawing up a list of almost 200 farms it allegedly wants to seize from white farmers, with AfriForum, a civil rights group representing the white Afrikaner minority, adding the document was being circulated by ministers as the ruling powers prepare to implement the policy. It invited farmers to check if they were on it and urged them to make contact “so we can prepare a joint legal strategy.”

But the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform denied the list was real with spokeswoman Linda Page telling News24 that, “We don’t know where they got this from. There is no truth in this document.”

Analysts warn the move could undermine property rights and deter investment.

In Zimbabwe, violent land seizures which were authorized by Robert Mugabe in the 1990s which sent the country into a spiral of decline from which it has never recovered.

“Markets are sensitive to anything perceived to be ‘Zimbabwe-fication’ on the land-reform front,” market analyst Henrik Gullberg noted.

Agri SA states 20% of South Africa’s farms produce 80% of the food that feeds millions of people in southern Africa, and many of those properties would be affected by a 25,000-acre cap.

And, just as we warned previously, Ramaphosa’s decision all but guarantees a banking crisis in South Africa:

Another important point is that a lot of this land that the government wants to confiscate probably has quite a bit of bank debt.

Imagine – you just bought a farm for, say, 50 million rand (that’s about USD $3 million). And in order to do so, you took out a hefty loan from a South African bank.

Now the government comes along and steals your property.

Are you seriously going to keep paying the loan?

Of course not.

This means that the banks are going to be stuck with massive defaults and bad debts, leading to a wave of bank failures.

So in their crusade to bring Social Justice to South Africa, the government is effectively engineering a banking crisis in their country.

And sure enough, as the Chairman of South Africa’s Land & Ag Development Bank warned today of the potential for default if expropriation without compensation takes place… and implies a state bailout will be required…

It is our considered view that it would be futile to expropriate land without compensation without an associated re-alignment and adjustment of the institutional mechanisms to deliver land reform. Land reform should be conducted in conjunction with the provision of comprehensive support to the beneficiaries which include both financial and non-financial elements…

As the Bank is generally funded by the local debt and capital markets (and more recently international multilateral institutions such as AfDB, World Bank, KfW and the EIB), a poorly executed Expropriation without Compensation could result in the main sources of funding drying up as investors might not be willing to continue funding Land Bank in particular, or agriculture in general.



If Expropriation without Compensation were therefore to materialise without protection of the Bank’s rights as a creditor, we would be required to repay R9 billion immediately. A Cross Default clause would be triggeredshould we fail to pay when these debts fall due because of inadequate liquidity or lack of alternative sources of funding. This would make our entire R41 billion funding portfolio due and payable immediately, which we would not be able to settle. Consequently, government intervention would be required to settle our lenders.

So, we leave it to SovereignMan’s Simon Black to conclude:

This is criminally stupid behavior that puts South Africa on the same path that Zimbabwe followed in the late 1990s.

And as I told you a few weeks ago, when I first reported about this land confiscation in South Africa, anyone who is dumb enough to follow Zimbabwe’s economic model absolutely deserves what they’re going to get.

Listen to some of the Antifa and "libertarian socialists" here in the U.S. They are advocating the very same thing. And worse, we have a long history of doing it, through eminent domain. That's why the NAACP is opposed to eminent domain (or, at least, they used to be). Not that long ago, if a white farmer or a developer wanted the forty acres owned by a black farmer, he didn't have to pay the black farmer's asking price. He would simply go to the county, have it seized through eminent domain, and then buy it at a fraction of the asking price.

Trump Should Warn South Africa on Land Expropriations A new article from Cato.

Quote
According to press reports, South Africa’s government has begun expropriating privately-owned farmland without financial compensation, thereby ignoring the post-apartheid political settlement, which allows for land redistribution in the country on a “willing buyer, willing seller” basis.

Eighteen years ago, Zimbabwe embraced a similar policy. As a consequence, South Africa’s northern neighbor’s economy collapsed and the country descended into penury and political violence. This scenario is likely to repeat itself in South Africa. An attack on property rights will result in the destruction of South Africa’s farming community, dramatic reduction in agricultural productivity, and mass unemployment. It could also lead to a collapse of the banking sector (which depends on land as collateral for loan-making) and the local currency, hyperinflation, and even bloodshed.

In the early 1990s, the United States was heavily involved in negotiating the transfer of power from the ruling National Party to the current government, which is composed of the African National Congress and the South African Communist Party. As such, the United States bears some responsibility for ensuring that South Africa’s post-apartheid political settlement, including protection of minorities and private property, endures. President Trump should warn the South African government that if South Africa’s Constitution is amended to allow for expropriation without compensation, South Africa will be suspended from the African Growth and Opportunity Act, as Zimbabwe had been. Moreover, the U.S. Congress should hold hearings on the situation in South Africa, if the government of South Africa continues its destructive economic policies.

Section 104 of AGOA states that a sub-Saharan African country is eligible for membership of AGOA if it “protects private property rights, incorporates an open rules-based trading system, and minimizes government interference in the economy through measures such as price controls, subsidies, and government ownership of economic assets; (b) [respects] the rule of law, political pluralism, and the right to due process, a fair trial, and equal protection under the law.” Furthermore, the text of AGOA states that “If the President determines that an eligible Sub-Saharan African country is not making continual progress in meeting the requirements described in … [Section 104] the President shall terminate the designation of the country [as being eligible for membership of AGOA].” Considering that South Africa is in breach or is about to breach a number of requirements for membership of AGOA, the president should act by issuing a preemptive warning to the South African government.

Trump Orders State Dept to ‘Closely Study’ South Africa’s Killing of White Farmers, Seizing of Land

"I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers."

By Chris Menahan | Information Liberation Thursday, August 23, 2018

President Donald Trump on Wednesday night ordered the State Department to “closely study” the “large scale killing” of white farmers and the seizing of their lands in South Africa after Tucker Carlson blasted the State Department for going along with the theft.

Trump tweeted: “I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. ‘South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.’ @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews.”

President Trump no doubt caught Tucker Carlson’s shocking report on the seizures just hours before:

MSNBC’s Eddie Glaude Laughs At Murder Of White Farmers In South Africa
"I think two of them, perhaps, might have been killed in some instance..."


By Chris Menahan | Information Liberation Friday, August 24, 2018

MSNBC’s Eddie Glaude laughed about the murder of white farmers in South Africa on Morning Joe Thursday and said he thinks “two of them, perhaps, might have been killed in some instance.”

Speaking of Trump tweeting about the “large scale killing” of white farmers and the seizing of their lands in South Africa, Glaude said, “In this instance, [Trump’s] really trafficking in conspiracy theories to kind of in some ways feed red meat to his base.”

“This is nonsense, it’s silly,” Glaude said, “but it’s consistent with the kind of cultural warrior that he is.”

“Because, at the same time that he’s doing this with regards to South African white farmers — I think two of them, perhaps, might have been killed in some instance,” Glaude said while bursting out laughing, “with the majority of folks who have been subject to any kind of violence and this is non-white farmers in this instance.”

“He’s also, shall we say, playing the card with regards to the Mollie Tibbetts murder, this horrific murder in Iowa,” he said.

“He’s saying that this is the result of not having the wall. Here, this is a morally debased man who will do anything to protect himself and to divert attention from the fact that he has been noted as a non-indicted co-conspirator in a felony,” Glaude said.

“So, this is just an example of how bad he is as a human being,” he said.

According to Transvaal Agricultural Union data, in the 2016/17 reporting period there were 74 murders of farmers recorded overall with 55 being “clearly of white farmers or family members” and 51 being white farmers alone. Stats are underreported because South Africa is a Third World country.

The entire segment was full of similar fake news and fake history, none of which will be “fact-checked” by the establishment’s so-called “fact-checkers” and none of which will result in MSNBC or anyone involved being censored on social media.

This is just socialism, by another name.

Quote
The UK's Express reports this week the South African government has begun seizing farms in the country following a failure to negotiate sales with the owners.

Quote
On July 31, President Cyril Ramaphosa, who had only been elected into office in February, confirmed his African National Congress (ANC) party would pass an amendment to the country’s constitution to allow the seizure of white-owned farmland without compensation.

Mr Ramaphosa claimed the new amendment was designed to “outline more clearly the conditions under which expropriation of land without compensation can be affected”.

Last week, ANC chairman Gwede Mantashe sparked panic among the farming community when he said that any farmers owning more than 25,000 acres of land would have it taken from them without compensation.

The South African government has now started seizing land from white farmers, initially targeting two game farmers in the northern province of Limpopo after talks with the owners Akkerland Boerdery broke down over a huge differences in its estimated value.


Technically, it appears the confiscation program targets farm owners based on the size of holdings, and not, strictly-speaking, based on their racial status.

In practice, however, the effect has been that the owners who face confiscations are overwhelmingly "white."

Thus, the policy has long had a racial component to it. Donald Trump tweeted this week that he has directed the State Department to look into the matter of of confiscations of "white farmers." Trump was condemned by the South African ruling party for invoking the racial issue, but the racial component of the controversy is evident.

After all, the French state-owned media company France24 states matter-of-factly that the policy "seeks to correct the legacy of decades of white minority rule that stripped blacks of their land."
Socialism Is Socialism

It's easy to make far too much of the racial component, however. While racial animosity and the desire for reparation for past crimes that "stripped blacks of their land" appears to be the motivating factor for the ruling regime, the fact remains the farm confiscations are also just good politics from the ruling party's perspective. That is, the confiscations could be motivated by nothing more than a cynical desire to reward the party's political base with "free" stuff. Farm owners, after all, are a tiny percentage of the South African voting population.

And this is why it's important to not fixate on the racial aspect of the farm policy and see the policy for what it is at its core. It's just yet another ordinary, mundane policy designed to expropriate private property from one group and give it to another.

In this, the land confiscations are not fundamentally different from any other time a state has confiscated lands, industries, or businesses in any other part of the world.

In the past century, Marxist-inspired regimes have most commonly confiscated lands and farms based on the idea that the owners who too "bourgeois" or enemies of the "revolution" in some other respect. This has been the case in recent years in Venezuela where small business are seized from alleged "class traitors."

Even more importantly, neither the stated motivation or the actual motivation mean much of anything when it comes to the effects of land confiscations and property expropriation of any kind.

Regardless of the motivation, state confiscation of property leads to economic fallout that can have disastrous effects on the local economy.

Most importantly, expropriations of property lead to serious problems of "regime uncertainty" (a term developed by Robert Higgs) in which uncertainty about the legal and political status of property can lead to significant declines in investment and production. In other words, if property owners are unsure if their property will be confiscated, they won't invest in the property or maintain it.

Thus, regime uncertainty leads to a withholding of investment and the destruction of capital thanks to lack of investment and maintenance.

We see this already at work in South Africa. As, according to Express, "A record number of white South African farmers have put their land up for sale amid fears the ruling party is considering confiscating properties bigger than 25,000 acres."

Owners are essentially plotting their escape from the South African economy, but it will be hard for them to find buyers. After all, what investor — one with actual means to buy and maintain the farms — will purchase these farms under the present circumstances? At least, no one will be buying at anything other than a drastically reduced price.

Given that it still remains quite uncertain as to how extensive or harsh the confiscations will be, most potential owner will wait and see how things go before investing anything more in the South African agricultural economy.

And this, as Higgs notes in his work on regime certainty, is one of the central aspects of regime uncertainty: it impels investors and owners to delay making investments until uncertainty abates. In the mean time, wages of workers will decline, owners will forgo needed repairs of machines and tools, and the economy overall will suffer. Higgs writes:

Quote
Private investment is the most important driver of economic progress. Entrepreneurs need new structures, equipment, and software to produce new products, to produce existing products at lower cost, and to make use of new technology that requires embodiment in machinery, plant layouts, and other aspects of the existing capital stock. When the rate of private investment declines, the rate of growth of real income per capita slackens, and if private investment drops quickly and substantially, a recession or depression occurs.


A larger effect in this case may also be that many of the most experienced, knowledgeable, and capital-rich residents of South Africa will flee the country, taking their know-how with them. The South African state will — as states often do — likely attempt to make it difficult for emigrants to take their capital with them. This will be relatively easy for owners whose capital is tied up in land. Foreign investors, however, will have no such trouble. It will be relatively easy for foreign investors to pull their capital out of South Africa as a result of the expropriations. That investment may never return.

So, while land confiscations make good political sense for the ruling party in South Africa, the fact remains the policy makes very bad economic sense. It's just the same sort of thing we've already been seeing in Venezuela in recent years, and the effects — proportional in size to the amount of expropriation effected — will be the same.

And perhaps this "proportionality" issue is what the regime is banking on. Even if the South African regime understands the economic implications of expropriation, the regime also recognizes that agriculture remains a relatively small part of the South African economy. Less than three percent of South Africa's GDP is currently driven by agriculture.

The regime may be hoping that it can get away with destroying investment in that sector if the resulting economic destruction remains fairly limited. After all, if the South African economy suffers — as it is already doing due to a variety of other factors — the regime can always blame some other group for the problem, such as foreign capitalists or domestic naysayers.

Economically speaking, though, we can be sure that — should expropriations continue — lands on the margins will fall out of use, farm workers on the margins will find themselves out of work, and regime uncertainty will lead to overall declines in both domestic and foreign investment.

The motivation for this latest move toward the destruction of property rights is immaterial to the economic outcome.

Trump Warned of South Africa – in 2013

Said country waiting to explode

By Dan Lyman Friday, August 24, 2018


President Donald Trump addressed the white land seizures and murders in South Africa Wednesday, but tweets dating back to 2013 reveal an established precedent for his concern over the country’s deteriorating condition.

“I really like Nelson Mandela but South Africa is a crime-ridden mess that is just waiting to explode-not a good situation for the people!” Trump tweeted in 2013.

I really like Nelson Mandela but South Africa is a crime ridden mess that is just waiting to explode-not a good situation for the people!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 13, 2013

Quoting South African entertainment personality Amaru Da Costa in 2014, Trump tweeted, “Sadly Donald Trump was correct about South Africa – the level of violence is irrepressible.”

“@amarudacosta: Sadly @realDonaldTrump was correct about South Africa – the level of violence is irrepressible”

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 19, 2014

And in April of 2015, just weeks before announcing his presidential candidacy, Trump offered this grim assessment:

“As I have long been saying, South Africa is a total – and very dangerous – mess,” he wrote. “Just watch the evening news (when not talking weather).”

As I have long been saying, South Africa is a total – and very dangerous – mess. Just watch the evening news (when not talking weather).

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2015

Trump announced he has instructed the State Department to “closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large-scale killing of farmers,” triggering a massive backlash from South African officials and mainstream media, as outlets like the Huffington Post, New York Times, and Washington Post tied Trump’s comments to ‘racism’ and ‘neo-Nazi conspiracy theories.’

Following Trump’s tweet, the South African rand immediately lost roughly 2% of its value against the US dollar amid speculation the US may levy sanctions or reexamine the flow of financial aid to South Africa, which tops $500 million annually.

Julius Malema, a prominent South African figurehead promoting white land seizure, asserted that nothing short of “death” would deter his allies from their mission.

“We must be prepared for Donald Trump and all of them,” Malema said at press conference. “We are not scared of them. We remain unshaken. Actually, we are more determined after the Donald Trump tweet to appropriate our land without compensation. There is no white genocide here.”

“We are not scared of such things. We are not going to be distracted by anyone. Only death will stop us. Not Trump, not poverty, not sanctions… We know the consequences of what we are asking for.”

Malema says Jews are training right wingers as snipers to kill black people
Citizen reporter

The EFF commander-in-chief slammed those who believe white South Africans face a ‘white genocide,’ saying that if anything Trump should focus on what he termed a ‘black genocide’.

At a media briefing on Thursday at EFF headquarters in Braamfontein, EFF Leader Julius Malema made the shocking claim that a group of right-wing extremists is being trained to kill black people.

“They will kill us for that. There’s a group of white right-wingers who are being trained by Jews in Pretoria to be snipers,”
he said.

Whether or not the EFF leader has any solid evidence of this is unclear at this point.

The EFF leader spoke out against the use of the term “the white genocide” used by some on the far right.

Instead, Malema says, it is actually a “black genocide” that is taking place in the US and South Africa.

“There is actually black genocide in the US. They are killing black people in the US. Black people are even being killed in South Africa,” he said.

At the briefing, aimed at providing clarity over the party’s land policy, Malema was in fine form, accusing the DA and ANC of being similar to Afriforum and issuing a stern warning to US president Donald Trump not to get involved in South African affairs. Malema also called Trump a “pathological liar”.

Speaking about his belief that a farm in Pretoria is being used to train snipers to hunt down black people, Malema described a war between those who support expropriation without compensation and those who oppose it.

“Death is the price we will pay and poverty will come. It’s a war and we must be prepared. Death is the price we are willing to pay, we are not shaken,” the leader of the red berets said.



Malema claims plans to sabotage the EFF’s proposed action on land come not only from AfriForum, but from the DA and ANC as well.

“The DA does the same thing. And the DA’s position is the same as AfriForum’s position. Cyril Ramaphosa’s group in the ANC has got a similar position as AfriForum,” Malema claimed.

Malema also warned people not to play “public opinion games” with the land issue, singling out Trump.

Malema demonstratively declared, “We must put it on record, unequivocally … Donald “the pathological liar” Trump, we are not scared of you and your USA or Western imperialist forces”.

“We are warning you, do not play public opinion games with the land question. It is an emotive issue in which people’s dignity is at stake, our people’s hopes cannot be subjected to a contest on public opinion,” he said.

“We want to send a strong message to the USA authorities, just like we did to the Australian authorities, stay out of South Africa’s domestic affairs,” he continued.

Early on Thursday morning, US president Donald Trump took to Twitter, saying that he plans to “closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large-scale killing of farmers.”

I still think with about 500 men I pick and enough supplies, I could take both South Africa and Rhodesia. Trick would be keeping the UN from interfering.

If not then South Africa will go down the tubes like Rhodesia did in the 1970's.

That's exactly what needs to happen.

All the 3 percenters and militia should go on "vacation" and get some real on the job training. And, while were at it...let's load up all the neo-nazi, Aryan nation skinheads and koo-kluckers, put them on the front line and use them for canon fodder.

South Africa Prez: White Farm Seizures “Not a Land Grab”
Says land expropriation strengthens property rights for all


By Dan Lyman Monday, August 27, 2018

South Africa’s president insists that the on-going seizure of white-owned farms “is no land grab” as his government falls under international scrutiny for what many see as a violation of private property rights.

President Cyril Ramaphosa defends what he calls “accelerated land reform” as a solution to “narrow gaps in income” and “severe inequality between black and white South Africans,” in his op-ed for the Financial Times.

Despite admitting the ruling African National Congress “recently resolved to propose a constitutional amendment that would make explicit the conditions under which land could justifiably be expropriated without compensation,” Ramaphosa claims the pursuance of such a course would actually reinforce rights for all South Africans.

“This is no land grab. Nor is it an assault on the private ownership of property,” Ramaphosa writes. “The proposals will not erode property rights, but will instead ensure that the rights of all South Africans, and not just those who currently own land, are strengthened. South Africa has learned from the experiences of other countries, both from what has worked and what has not, and will not make the same mistakes that others have made.”

“The proposal on expropriation without compensation is one element of a broader programme of land reform that seeks to ensure that all citizens can have their land rights recognized, whether they live in communal areas, informal settlements or on commercial farms.”

“Land reform in South Africa is a moral, social and economic imperative,” Ramaphosa concludes. “By bringing more land into productive use, by giving more South Africans assets and opportunities for sustainable livelihoods, the country is creating conditions for greater, more inclusive and more meaningful growth.”

In contrast to Ramaphosa’s defense of land seizure, the rhetoric of EFF leader Julius Malema – whom some believe to be the true driving force behind the shift in government policy – is decidedly more direct and brazen.

“Through land expropriation, we are forcing white people to share the land which was gained through a crime against the humanity of black and African people,” Malema said in a press conference last week. “We are not going to be distracted by anyone. Only death will stop us. Not Trump, not poverty, not sanctions… We know the consequences of what we are asking for.”

South Africans Say Trump is Right: White Farmers Being Slaughtered

'As a South African boer I can tell you guys that it is 100% correct what Mr. Trump said in his tweet'


By Adan Salazar | INFOWARS.COM Monday, August 27, 2018

Residents of South Africa are creating videos backing up US President Donald Trump’s claims that white farmers in South Africa are being murdered.

In riveting firsthand testimony uploaded to Twitter Monday, several South Africans pushed back against the mainstream media, testifying violence against whites is on the rise.

Danie Barnard, 32, a South African citizen, on Monday thanked President Trump for bringing attention to the issue and said he faces constant violence in the region.

A message to the international community from a boer in #SouthAfrica the reality of our situation. Please RT. #FarmMurders #SouthAfrica pic.twitter.com/sdChH864dA

— Danie Barnard (@DaanBarnard) August 27, 2018

“As you all may know, President Trump last week Wednesday made a tweet about what is going on in South Africa and there was a lot of backlash from the fake news mainstream media, especially in the United States,” Barnard said, going on to say his grandfather was murdered on his farm.

“As a South African boer I can tell you guys that it is 100% correct what Mr. Trump said in his tweet.”

“We do not try to spread any false information, nor are we right wing extremists, or Nazis as they are calling us. We are only citizens that are fearing for our lives because we live in a very violent society in South Africa. And it is true. It’s not only the white South Africans but also the black South Africans, but the big difference here is our government actually encourages violence towards whites and endorses it…”

Here’s a video example of one chant mentioned by Barnard, in which South Africans call for killing whites.

— JOHNMEYER (@JOHNMEY28401489) August 27, 2018

A message from Barnard’s brother, Jacques, also backed Trump’s claims, noting he’s been the victim of home invasions and has had property stolen.

“I just want to say to the fake media: Sorry, it’s happening on a daily basis.”

This is my message to the international community regarding @realDonaldTrump tweet #SouthAfrica #FarmMurders #BoerTestemony pic.twitter.com/viNl0OmciD

“All we’re asking is for you guys to do the research. Find out for yourselves. Don’t believe the media. They are lying. They are trying to cover it up, but unfortunately it’s true. People are dying every day in South Africa because of racial hate toward white people,” Jacques documented.

In another video a woman thanks Trump for calling attention to the dire situation, saying she’s been the victim of an armed robbery and carries a knife as a defensive measure.

— MetalheadVet (@Suidwessie) August 27, 2018

“Mainstream media, I dare you to quote me on this,” she adds.

President Trump faced criticism after he tweeted last week he would have Secretary of State Mike Pompeo look into the “large scale killing of farmers.”

I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.” @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 23, 2018

“South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers,” the president wrote in his tweet, citing a Fox News report.

Following the tweet, the South African government issued a statement saying Trump’s perception of the issue was “based on false information.”

“South Africa totally rejects this narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past,” the government wrote in a tweet. “South Africa will speed up the pace of land reform in a careful and inclusive manner that does not divide our nation.”

On Monday South African Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Lindiwe Sisulu also slammed Trump in a CNN interview, saying it was “unfortunate” the president had “misinterpreted” the government’s goal of compulsory land redistribution.

Also on Monday, South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa claimed the confiscation of white-owned farms “is no land grab” in a Financial Times op-ed, while going on to admit the African National Congress “recently resolved to propose a constitutional amendment that would make explicit the conditions under which land could justifiably be expropriated without compensation.”

Bombshell: South Africa Forcing Farmers to Repay Bank Loans on Seized Lands
Regardless if government compensates them or not


By Dan Lyman Tuesday, August 28, 2018

White farmers will still be expected to repay loans on land even if it is seized by the South African government, according to statements made by Nedbank.

A screenshot of an email ostensibly sent by a Nedbank client services resolution manager asserts that borrowers with mortgages on expropriated property will be obligated to continue bond payments – whether they are compensated by the government or not.

The email reads as follows –

Dear Customer,

Thank you for the query you have raised with regard to the impact of land expropriation to your bonded property.

Nedbank is not privy to what provisions may be made for land purchasers whose land is encumbered, and what the proposed Review Committee would come up with to address this. However, we believe a balance needs to be achieved between the parliamentary agenda, and in particular the law of contract.

It is important to note the Home Loan agreement is subject to a contractual agreement, and bond payments remain due and payable until such a time that the bond is paid in full, irrespective of any form of land appropriation – with or without compensation. We would encourage you to continue with the bond payments until such time a determination is made, the time of which is also unknown to us.

We trust that our response meets with your expectation.

The content of the email matches identical announcements released by Nedbank on social media.

Infowars has reached out to Nedbank regarding the email above and received a prepared statement the bank is issuing in response to queries about land expropriation –

The land debate itself has already had a negative impact on overall investor sentiment and, therefore, economic activity and job creation. But, so far, it has not yet directly affected Nedbank or the way we assess credit for our clients.

We fully support the democratic process and land reform debate and the need for historical redress, but it is vital that this sensitive and important issue is handled properly to ensure no lasting impact on economic growth and food security.

The recent announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa seemed to pre-empt the Parliamentary process underway. Any proposed changes of Section 25 of the Constitution will still need to be fully debated and will have to pass constitutional and legal muster on multiple fronts.

The actual wording of any proposed changes will be absolutely vital and would need to be assessed before any economic and credit assessment impacts can be determined. We feel it would be wise to wait for this process, rather than pre-empt this without the detail.

Nedbank is participating in the current Parliamentary process and debate and has made a submission. We emphasised in our submission that we did not support a change to Section 25 of the Constitution, as this already provides for expropriation without compensation in cases where a court holds this to be just and equitable or it is in the national interest.

The Banking Association of South Africa (BASA) has also made a submission.

Infowars has been regularly reporting on the developing situation in South Africa, and will continue to do so.

While I was in both Rhodesia and South Africa, there were lots of units that were trained and led by white Mercs. In all instances if the mercs had actual combat experience the guerilla units of the ANC and others tended to run at the first shot of actual opposition.

Another example was in the Congo when the Mau Mau was destroyed by Mike O'hares mercs. Was even worse when they went up against a Battalion of Belgian paratroops. I spent time in Africa with veterans of both of those units. It was figured by even the most optimistic that a 20 to 1 ratio was EVEN odds!

As Land Confiscations Loom, South Africa Rules 300,000 Gun-Owners Turn Over Their Weapons


The Constitutional Court of South Africa recently ruled that 300,000 gun owners must turn in their firearms.

By Jose Nino | GunPowderMagazine.com Wednesday, August 29, 2018

South Africa is opening the door for tyranny.

The Constitutional Court of South Africa recently ruled that 300,000 gun owners must turn in their firearms.

This judgement came in response to the North Gauteng High Court’s ruling in 2017 which said Section 24 and Section 28 of the Firearm’s Control Act were unconstitutional.

A report from The Citizen explains what Section 24 and Section 28 entail:

“Section 24 of the Act requires that any person who seeks to renew a licence must do so 90 days before its expiry date Section 28 stipulates that if a firearm licence has been cancelled‚ the firearm must be disposed of or forfeited to the state. A 60-day time frame was placed on its disposal, which was to be done through a dealer.”

Now that the High Court’s initial ruling has been overturned, gun owners who failed to renew their firearms licenses must hand in their firearms to the nearest police station, where authorities will then proceed to destroy them.

Many naïve political observers will paint this event as a casual gun control scheme, but any astute student of politics will recognize that the floodgates are now open for further encroachments – not only on the gun rights of South Africans, but also on others facets of theirs lives.

A look at South Africa’s current political climate will give us an idea of the potential ramifications of this gun control scheme.
Political Trouble Brewing in South Africa?

Though South Africa witnessed rising levels of economic freedom shortly after Apartheid ended in 1994, the country has taken a more interventionist path to economic development in recent years.

This situation is becoming more pronounced with the South African National Assembly recently voting 241-83 to amend the South African constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation.

The socialist-leaning African National Congress (ANC) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) parties are leading the charge for expropriation under the banner of fixing racial disparities that have supposedly remained intact since Apartheid’s conclusion.

While land confiscation has not been officially finalized, South Africans should worry about the direction their country is going.

And how does gun control fit into this equation?

Gun Control: A Tool for Tyranny

No matter how socialist apologists rationalize it, the redistributionist agenda the South African government is pursuing will not be implemented passively. Ultimately, it must be carried out by force.

The kind of force socialists seek is a monopolized kind, which extreme forms of gun control like gun confiscation help facilitate.

The history of gun confiscation is one of repeated cases of tyranny.

From countries such as Cuba to the Soviet Union, aspiring demagogues have used gun confiscation to disarm the populace. Logically, an unarmed populace will put up little resistance against their tyrannical acts.

In South Africa’s case, farmers and their workers are already suffering ongoing attacks against their property. One could only imagine what it would be like for these persecuted farmers once they are stripped of their right to self-defense.

For many Americans who have enjoyed historically unprecedented gun rights, South Africa’s gun control experience may seem distant and strange.

But make no mistake about it, South Africa’s latest flirtation with gun control is not based on good intentions, especially when considering the political climate the country is enduring.

South Africa should serve as a fair warning to Americans of the dangerous consequences gun control poses.

South Africa withdraws white farmland redistribution bill. Maybe the ANC has come to their senses, at least temporarily.

Quote
South Africa has withdrawn its white farmland redistribution bill - six days after Donald Trump warned he was closely studying the situation.

The ruling African National Congress (ANC) said the bill passed by parliament in 2016 enabling the state to make compulsory purchases of land to redress racial disparities in land ownership needed further consideration.

It comes after Trump criticised the country's land reform plans in a tweet that touched on the overwhelmingly white ownership of farmland in South Africa - one of the most sensitive issues in the country's post-apartheid history.

'I have asked Secretary of State... (Mike) Pompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers,' tweeted Trump to his 54 million followers.

His tweet apparently followed a segment on conservative Fox News about Pretoria's plan to change the constitution to speed up expropriation of land without compensation to redress racial imbalances in land ownership.

'South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers',' said Trump's post, which tagged the show's host, Tucker Carlson, as well as the channel.

The country is in the middle of a racially charged debate over land reform, a lawful process that seeks to correct the legacy of decades of white-minority rule that stripped blacks of their land.

According to President Cyril Ramaphosa, who himself farms cattle on a 5,100 hectare ranch, the white community that makes up eight percent of the population 'possess 72 percent of farms'.

In contrast, 'only four percent' of farms are in the hands of black people who make up four-fifths of the population.

The stark disparity stems from purchases and seizures during the colonial era that were then enshrined in law during apartheid.

South Africa's government reacted angrily to Trump's tweet with officials telling their American counterparts the comments were 'alarmist, false, inaccurate and misinformed'.

In July, Ramaphosa said the ruling African National Congress party would amend the constitution so the state could start to expropriate land without compensation to speed up the process of land redistribution, but that has not yet happened and no land has been seized....

NO, the ANC did not come to its senses. What has happened is DeBeers gave them a HEAVY DOSE of reality when the law also threatened their land. You know all the Diamond mines! I have been on Skype most of the day talking to friends still there.

Most do not know that between S. Africa and Namibia/Angola that 80% of the worlds top five strategic mineral reserves are located there. One of which is Chromium which is vital for making ANY sort of stainless steel. Diamonds only make it because they are needed to make diamond tipped drill bits. Rings and other diamond jewelry on make up 1% of the diamond output. The mineral mines are still the property of folks that will not think twice getting their governments to send troop there to protect their property.

White Existence Is a Crime, Says South African BFL Party Spokesperson

Black First, Land First spokesperson Lindsay Maasdorp has told the author of this article and others about the controversial party that my "existence is a crime."

By Chris Menahan | Information Liberation Wednesday, September 19, 2018

Remember folks: white people are not being targeted in South Africa and President Trump and others who suggest otherwise are conspiracy theorists!

From Daniel Friedman, Citizen.co.za, “White existence is a crime, says BLF spokesperson”:

The BLF spokesperson has posted views reflecting his party’s belief that all white people in South Africa are criminals by virtue of their existence.

Black First, Land First spokesperson Lindsay Maasdorp has told the author of this article and others about the controversial party that my “existence is a crime.”

He also repeated his party’s slogan, “land or death.”

Your existence is a crime. Hence we say land or death.

— Lindsay Maasdorp (@Lindsay_BLF) September 15, 2018

[…]Maasdorp’s assertion that, as a white person, “my existence is a crime,” provides some insight into the party’s apparent belief that, due to the theft of land by white people during colonisation and apartheid, all white South Africans are therefore criminals, regardless of when they were born and what their political views, history or affiliations may be.

At the recent land hearings held in parliament, Mngxitama called for section 25 of the Constitution to be scrapped entirely to ensure that all land owned by white people is returned to their black counterparts.

The BLF leader said this section should be replaced with a declaration that all land owned by white people in South Africa was stolen property.

Mngxitama has repeatedly made the assertion that absolutely all land occupied by white South Africans should be expropriated.

This makes the party the most extreme in South Africa when it comes to the land issue and in its attitude to white people in general.

They have been accused of hate speech by the South African Human Rights Commision, who have recommended that the party be prevented from contesting the 2019 elections on the grounds that they have made statements violating the Electoral Act.

Maasdorp has come under fire in the past for his posting on both Facebook and Twitter that “I have aspirations to kill white people, and this must be achieved!”

As Turkish state media outlet TRT World assured us recently, it’s not that white farmers are being “targeted” in South Africa, but instead “farm attacks are just part of a greater violent crime problem” and “there’s no reliable data to suggest that white farmers are targeted more than anyone else.”

No doubt Maasdorp’s “aspirations to kill white people” are just general aspirations to kill people generally and white South Africans are not being targeted!

South Africa’s Zulu Nation Joins White Farmers To Protest Government Land Seizures

Mac Slavo
October 10th, 2018
SHTFplan.com

Now, this is what unity looks like. South Africa’s Zulu nation has joined forces with white farmers being subjected to racial land seizures in order to prevent the atrocity.

The largest ethnic group in South Africa, Zulu, has spoken out against the racial expropriation of land without compensation in the country. Zulu is ready to cooperate with the country’s white farmers, known as “Afrikaners” or “Boers” to prevent the seizure of their land, reported RT. Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini has said the group will cooperate with South African minority rights group AfriForum because they desire to eat in the future.

“The Zulu nation I’m talking about will not exist if we don’t have food. That’s why I say farmers must come closer so that we discuss what we can do when we talk about agriculture and the availability of enough food in the land. That’s why I’m asking AfriForum of the Boers to come and help us,” Zwelithini said, as quoted by eNews Channel Africa. “Because when government started talking about the appropriation of land, expropriation without compensation, Boers downed tools. There is no food in South Africa,” he added.

Zulu people are the largest ethnic group in South Africa, with an estimated 10-12 million people living mainly in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. The group accounts for more than a fifth of the country’s population and its opinion is important in the context of the general elections next year. –RT

“Anyone who wants to be voted for and elected by us, I’m going to talk now, anyone who wants to be elected by us must come and kneel here and commit that I will never touch your land,” the Zulu King said firmly placing private property rights above political or racial affiliation. While the Zulu King officially has no political power, he does have the loyalty of millions of people who may not be affiliated with politics.

The land expropriation program run by President Cyril Ramaphosa is designed to redistribute land to poor black people to tackle severe inequality 24 years after the end of apartheid. It mostly involves lands owned by Boers, whites primarily of Dutch descent. However, the program has aroused discontent among the Zulus, too, sparking fears that they could be the next to lose land.

The 'poor blacks' are the assholes that either came here or were sent there by their original home governments for the work there. It is like the Mexicans and other South and Central Americans here that are sending money from here to their homes. Current Government of South Africa is very much like the Democraps here buying votes with entitlements.

Zulu is a VERY PROUD warrior people that are natives of the north of South Africa and southern Rhodesia. They like the Kenyan African Rifles are the only native troops in Africa I have much respect for. The ZULU has given up as much land already as they will. Last time they took this stand resulted in the Zulu War that took the might of the British Empire to put down. And it was only successful because they have heavy Boer help and guidance.....................and artillery and Gatling guns!

Hawk, I have some friends from SA. The Zulu are the only africans they have any respect for.

I have served with both Zulu and the Kenyan Rifle troops. Both are dependable fighters. The rest will cut and run either before the first shot or immediately after it. Give me 500 white Mercs I pick and 5,000 Zulus and I could take the bottom third of Africa!
