WHO IS GOING TO FEED AFRICA?

 

This page comments on the stupidity of Robert Mugabe's actions (and soon South African leaders) where they are kicking white Africans off land (stealing it) they have owned in some cases for generations.  When it was settled decades ago, the land was just wild having never been farmed before and the new settlers ended up feeding much of sub-Saharan Africa as well as providing exports around the world.   But it also shows that some more progressive leaders have taken advantage of, for example, many of the white farmers who have been expelled from Zimbabwe.  Remember these are white Zimbabwe citizens, not immigrants.   What has happened to those who have been illegally ejected from their lands which fed the masses of other citizens, allowing the population of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe to grow from around 400.000 in 1880 to 11 million in 1970?   Read the following and see.

The notes below also indict for "crass stupidity" those who refuse to recognise the genetics of Africa where as Dr. John Watson said, "I despair for the future of Africa because of the actions of the people (black) there."  This was the same American who is a Nobel Prizewinner and who was shouted down by liberal left-wing rent-a-thugs before he could give a lecture on his long research in the UK at a leading university in 2007.   How can you solve problems without acknowledging the causes?

75 White ex-Zim farmers DOUBLE Zambia's Tobacco output (From African Crisis web-site archives)

Date Posted: Monday 16-Feb-2004

[Here are more stunning facts which deal a blow to all those idiots - the world over - who believe we should kick extremely knowledgeable and highly productive white commercial farmers off the land. In a previous news item, we saw that 100 of them moving to Zambia out-produced 150,000 black peasants.    Now we see how 75 of them, MORE THAN DOUBLED Zambia's tobacco output in a single season. White commercial farmers in Africa are among the best in the world and this is just more proof of the same. All the United Nations agencies and silly peasant "self-help schemes" worth billions of US dollars just can't match the output of whites in Africa. We're the only people who know how to make this continent function.     Not the United Nations, nor anyone else has the faintest clue - and they've been trying for the best part of 40-50 years - with very little success. Here, in a single year, whites just make things happen - like magic! It should be noted, that these 75 white farmers created jobs for 17,000 black Zambians! Capitalism RULES! There's just no substitute for skill, intelligence and hard work. The proponents of socialism can take it and stick it where it deserves to be!!! Jan Lamprecht, web-master African Crisis.]

Lusaka - Zambia's tobacco production has more than doubled in the last year, boosted by the arrival of farmers fleeing land reforms in Zimbabwe, an industry official said on Monday.

Tobacco Association of Zambia (TAZ) executive director John Downie said Zambia's tobacco production rose to 7, 2 million kilograms in 2003 from three million in 2002, largely thanks to white Zimbabwean farmers who have resettled in Zambia following land redistribution in their homeland.

"A lot of the expansion is a result of the new farmers... the new techniques from the newcomers have been a wake-up call for our members to improve their farming techniques and increase production," Downie said.

'This is exciting as the industry is recording rapid growth'

Downie said 75 former Zimbabwe tobacco farmers and their managers had settled in southern and central parts of the country following Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's controversial policy of seizing white-owned farms to give to landless blacks.

Downie said the TAZ was helping the newly-arrived farmers to settle quickly and get on with production.

"The shortfall in Zimbabwe tobacco production, which fell to below 100 million kilograms in 2003 from about 240 million kilograms before the land reforms, has worked to our benefit as our production has been rising faster," Downie told Reuters in an interview.

(Zimbabwe's loss is Zambia's gain.)

The bulk of Zambia's Virginia and Burley tobacco is bought by Altria Group Inc unit Philip Morris, British American Tobacco and Universal Leaf Tobacco Co.

Downie said the gross value of the 7,2 million kilograms of tobacco produced in 2003 was $12,5-million, adding that 2004 should see production rise to 15 million kilogram worth around $27 million. Only $5,2-million was earned from tobacco sales in 2000.

He said Zambia could earn well over $51-million in 2005 from tobacco sales as production kept increasing rapidly, although he did not give specific targets.

"This is exciting as the industry is recording rapid growth, in fact faster than we anticipated," Downie said.

Downie said some 75 former Zimbabwe tobacco farmers and their managers had settled in southern and central parts of the country following President Robert Mugabe's controversial policy of seizing white-owned farms in Zimbabwe to give to landless blacks.

Government officials said the white farmers had not been given new land in Zambia but had bought or hired existing farms. Zambia has 73 million hectares of productive land, of which only 10 percent is currently being used for farming.

Unlike Zimbabwe, Zambia has a liberal land policy which allows farmers to own land on either 14-year or 99-year renewable leasehold.

Downie said 17 000 new jobs had been created in the tobacco sector in the last three years, raising the total workforce to 25 000. He said land under tobacco cultivation has also increased to 6 000 hectares from 2 000 hectares in the last three years.

ZIMBABWE SMUGGLES FOOD FROM ITS OWN DISCARDED FARMERS IN ZAMBIA!!

Date Posted: Wednesday 09-Jun-2004

[By Adriana Stuijt. See the news link below.]

June 6 2004 - Up to 400 000 tons of maize - some of it from South Africa -have been secretly imported into Zimbabwe as the government stocks up on food for distribution ahead of parliamentary elections

Official sources said the imports would be used to help keep Robert Mugabe in power by using food as the key weapon and vote-buying mechanism. For some reason outside observers seem to believe that the dictator "desperately needs two-thirds majority to change the constitution."

This same myth was also used to explain the overwhelming intimidation and force which had been used against voters during the South African elections.    Actually, dictators don't need any kind of "majority" in any kind of political forum - because they are dictators and do whatever they want to their population.

Saddam Hussein of Iraq used the same terror against his own citizen to keep them compliant. The Zimbabwe government "stands accused" by international Aid agencies of misleading the world about its anticipated harvests this season.

It claims it will harvest 2.4 million tons of maize, exceeding the country's annual requirements of about 1.8 million to two million tons.

However, a United Nations crop assessment team that wanted to verify the government's claims with field research, was kicked out of the country two weeks ago.

Sources in South Africa said at least 400 000 tons of maize had already been imported and deposited at selected silos run by state owned, centrally-run Grain Marketing Board.

The sources say the maize - is from South Africa, which raises mostly genetically-manipulated maize.

Strangely enough, some of the maize also was imported from about 100 former Zimbabwean farmers who were kicked off their farms and are now producing massive amounts of excessive food for the export market, including maize, cotton and tobacco in neighbouring Zambia.

The rest of Zimbabwe's imported maize was genetically-manipulated maize from the Americas -- showing Mugabe's desperation, as he has previously always refused GM-food into the country unless the maize grains were first broken up to prevent farmers from planting the seeds and spreading GM crops inadvertently.

South African Foreign Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma -- a former "liberation war buddy" of Mugabe, on Friday again ruled out a proposed trade embargo against Zimbabwe.

The woman said that "even white farmers in that country were opposed to sanctions."

It's not sure which farmers she had actually asked for their opinion -- however the international community through the United Nations has imposed sanctions on the Zimbabwe regime for the past 2 years.

She even claimed that "civil society groups and others who were urging intervention from South Africa, were "the very same people in Zimbabwe who had said there should not be an embargo."

White Zim farmers succeed in Africa. But will it last?

Date Posted: Tuesday 15-Mar-2005

[Note the "small riots" beginning in Zambia as jealous blacks now have a problem with the awesomely successful White Zimbabwean farmers who moved there and whose tobacco crops are producing tremendous amounts of forex. It is my opinion that blacks in Africa will forever remain jealous of Whites and in the end, we should think about going it alone without them. They are losers and that's the way they will stay. Jan]

March 15, 2005 — By Peter Apps, Reuters

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — White Zimbabwean farmers driven from their land are setting up again elsewhere in Africa, saying they are revolutionizing farming where they settle -- but some locals are already beginning to resent the new arrivals.

Between 1,500 and 2,000 farmers have left Zimbabwe since violent farm seizures by landless blacks began in 2000. Most have left farming to settle in Australia and New Zealand, but others have gone to Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi and Nigeria.

"We are regarded as some of the best farmers in the world," farmer Alan Jack, who lost his farm in 2000 and is now moving to Nigeria, told Reuters from Zimbabwe.

"We understand the environment and we understand the Africans in our dealings with them."

Many of the farmers hoped to return one day to their homes in the former British colony, but for the time being President Robert Mugabe's government -- facing parliamentary elections at the end of March -- had made that impossible for them, he said.

The largest group of resettled Zimbabwean farmers have settled in neighboring Zambia, where many give them credit for a massive turnaround in agriculture that has seen the country go from a serious famine case to regional producer in two years.

"The farmers from Zimbabwe have contributed a lot to the growth of the agriculture sector because they are growing high value crops such as tobacco," Zambia's deputy agriculture minister James Katoka said. "They have helped to increase the hectares under cultivation and this has resulted in the creation of many more jobs."

Zimbabwean farmers say other African governments want them to boost their fledgling commercial farming sectors, and say they should take much of the credit for Zambia's turnaround in food production.

Zambia sold maize across the border to Zimbabwe as the country suffered serious shortages in the aftermath of drought and the sometimes violent farm seizures.

But the head of Zambia's National Farmer's Union, Guy Robinson, said most of the new arrivals had concentrated on growing tobacco -- increasing Zambia's production by 100 percent in the last couple of years.

"Very few of them have been growing maize," he said, attributing Zambia's turnaround on food production -- now threatened by a late season drought -- to local reform and distribution of seed and fertilizer to small-scale farmers.

In October, Zambia said it was aiming to double maize production to 2.4 million tons in 2004/2005 from the previous year, although a lack of rain in February is now seen as making this unlikely.

Small Riots

Farmers from Britain and Australia had also moved to Zambia, he said, taking advantage of government incentives to rent land little used by locals. Many Zambians say they welcome the new jobs and increased food production, but some tensions remain.

"If the land is taken by ... foreigners then the same thing that happened in Zimbabwe might happen here," local teacher Gilbert Chona told Reuters in Livingstone, southern Zambia, where some Zimbabwean tobacco farmers have set up on the border with their former home.  (So who are the racists now?)

The white farmers would alienate locals if they set up electric fences and denied subsistence farmers and villagers access to the nearby Zambezi river, he said.

"They have started doing that already," he said. "There have been some small riots."

Zimbabwean Jack said in Nigeria, where an advance guard of farmers are opening five dairy farms and 10 producing maize, soya, rice and other foods, efforts were being made to cement good relations with ordinary Nigerians, setting up a training farm for local farmers.   (After all these decades of "freedom" from colonialism?)

But complaints in countries where Zimbabwean farmers had settled were mainly motivated by resentment from locals who had failed to take advantage of fertile land in the past, he said.

"It's pure jealousy," he said. "These people have been on the land for 30 or 40 years since independence and they haven't managed to achieve anything."

THE RICHEST AGRICULTURAL CONTINENT ON EARTH.  WHY WILL AFRICA WILL SOON BE STARVING.  

19 March 2008.

 

From African Crisis web site  www.africancrisis.org.za.

Watch out for the flood of illegal immigrants to Europe and the payment of your hard-earned taxes to feed Africa that under the whites fed itself and exported food as well.

 

And why this statement is not racist.  It is the truth.

Africa's hungry millions are growing very riotous over soaring food prices

Date Posted: Tuesday 18-Mar-2008

Submitted by Adriana Stuijt:

Africa, the world's second largest continent, but where some 80-million people have over the past half-century learned to rely totally on food-aid handouts from Western countries -- is increasingly facing food-riots and famine. The food-aid agencies are blaming various forms of weather problems, but the biggest problem facing the agencies is the fact that it now cost them at least 50% more to buy the food being lavished on 'starving African populations' than last year.

Below are the latest reports from IRIN, the UN news agency:
---------------------------------------------------
BURKINA FASO: "Our country is hungry and thirsty...'
Thousands of protestors marched in Burkina Faso and other towns and cities to protest high food prices on 15 March 2008

17 March 2008 (IRIN) - A coalition of civil society organisations that on Saturday mobilised several thousand people to take to the streets of Ouagadougou and other towns and cities in Burkina Faso has threatened a nationwide strike if the government does not find a way to lower prices.

“If the government does not listen to this new appeal we are going to continue our actions until it understands that there is popular discontent,” said Tollé Sagnon, the secretary general of the Confédération Générale des Travailleurs du Burkina (CGTB), the main union in Burkina Faso and a member of the coalition.
The coalition said in a statement that the government must increases public sector salaries by 25 percent, reduce prices on basic goods and cut taxes on fuel.
Otherwise it will call for a two-day nationwide strike on 8 and 9 April.

The government says it has already taken moves to reduce taxes and released thousands of tons of emergency food stocks onto markets to control prices.
Nonetheless sacks of corn are selling in Burkina Faso for double the price they were the same time last year, setting back impoverished Burkinabe 15,000 CFA francs (US$30) a sack compared to 7,500 CFA francs (US$15), according to food monitors.
Thousands of people chanting "life is expensive" marched on Saturday in the Burkina Faso capital Ouagadougou and similar demonstrations took place in other towns around the country.

Previous cost of living marches in Burkina Faso in February turned violent and resulted in hundreds of arrests.
Saturday’s demonstrations passed off peacefully and no-one was arrested.
The demonstrators were responding to an appeal last week made by trade unions, anti-corruption groups and human rights associations calling for a national coalition to pressure the government to reduce inflation in the country.
“In our country the population is hungry and thirsty”, the coalition said in a declaration.
Burkina Faso has been faced with frequent social unrest which has sometimes turned violent over the last two years.
In December 2006, protesting soldiers fired their guns in the air and clashed with police, demanding better living conditions and “an end to corruption and favouritism among army top officials”.
Since then, retired soldiers have frequently protested their conditions.

MOZAMBIQUE: 600,000 now get daily food-aid from WFP and doing fine, thank you
500,000 Mozambiquans have already learned to live on the constant hand-outs of the World Food Programme after flooding and cyclones in 2007 and 2008.    Now, another 60,000 or so people in some 13,000 houses destroyed by cyclone Jokwe last week, will also be added to this list of constantly-hungry people who no longer fend for themselves at all.   Apparently people now go and live on flood-plains to get on the food-aid handout lists...

URL: http://www.irinnews.org/images/20072231.jpg
...


17 March 2008 (IRIN) - The United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP) will provide emergency food aid for 60,000 people affected by cyclone Jokwe in Mozambique's northern regions.

Bonifácio Antonio, director of the relief coordination department of the National Disaster Management Institute (INGC), said at least 13,000 houses were destroyed by the cyclone in the northern provinces of Nampula and Zambezia. "We are still doing our assessments so the numbers in need might increase," he said.
Tropical cyclone Jokwe killed eight people and also destroyed homes and schools after it made landfall on Mozambique's northern coast on 7-8 March.

WFP will access existing stocks earmarked for other programmes to help the communities affected by cyclone Jokwe, said Peter Keller-Transburg, the spokesman for the food aid agency in Mozambique. "We will need US$550,000 to replenish these stocks as soon as possible."
Mozambique is yet to recover from floods in January 2008 following heavy seasonal rain in its central provinces in December 2007. The floods displaced over 100,000 people, who were moved to government-designated resettlement areas, according to WFP. The red alert warning along the Zambezi River and other rivers in central Mozambique has come to an end, said INGC's Antonio.

However, tens of thousands of displaced families will continue to rely on humanitarian assistance for months to come because they lost their assets, homes and harvests in the floods, WFP said in a press statement. Since emergency relief operations began in January, WFP and its partners have distributed over 3,000 metric tonnes of food in 17 flood-affected districts.
Mozambique was also hit by a drought in the south and floods in central Mozambique in January 2007. "We are still responding to the needs of those affected by the disasters in 2007," said Keller-Transburg.
The food aid agency is already feeding more than 500,000 people affected by the multiple disasters of 2007 and 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIERRA LEONE: Why are 120,000 subsistence farmers facing famine?
Sierra Leone only produces 67% of its entire consumption needs. It has to import the rest, 175,000 tonnes of grain, through commercial imports and food-aid.
52% of the population -- 140,000 households -- lives on less than one US dollar a day. On this picture by IRIN, a mother prepares food whilst her clearly frail young boy sleeps on a straw mat beside her in the village of Foinda, central Sierra Leone

If price rises continue one of the hardest hit groups would be some 120,000 smallholder farming households who produced less than 50 percent of their rice consumption requirement for the year in 2007, the UN WFP said.
Another highly vulnerable group is 20,000 low-income urban households.

WFP says high commodity prices are caused by rising demand for food from economic growth in countries such as China and India, competition between bio-fuels and food, higher energy prices.
Higher food prices have already caused social unrest in a number of countries in West Africa, especially Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and Senegal.

Meanwhile, food reserves are at their lowest in 30 years and commodity markets are “extremely volatile”, WFP says.
It is also struggling to feed existing beneficiaries as it too has to pay higher prices for food.

ZIMBABWE: More food shortages anticipated due to "erratic weather???"
JOHANNESBURG, 13 March 2008 (IRIN Africa) - Wait for it: the World Food Programme now blames "erratic weather on the 'failure of Zimbabwe's harvest this year'.
The USAID-funded Famine Early Warning Systems Network. Zimbabwe had a grain deficit of about 891,000 tonnes in 2007 - almost 50 percent below the 2006 harvest, when Mugabe chased the last commercial farmers off the land.

I read this somewhere before and managed to find it again. This material/book is actually banned in certain countries. In my opinion the comments that follows explains a lot why things in Africa will never come right. Please read.

The late Dr Albert Schweitzer, who spent almost his entire life in Africa, working to uplift the Black man, received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1952.
He also held several doctorate degrees.
This is what he said shortly before his death:


I have given my life to alleviate the sufferings of Africa. There is something that all white men who have lived here, must learn and know; that these individuals are a sub-race; they have neither the intellectual , mental or emotional abilities to equate or share in any of the functions of our civilisation.
I have given my life to try to bring unto them the advantages which our civilisation must offer, but I have become well aware that we must retain this status; the white, the superior, and they the inferior; for whenever a white man seeks to live among them as their equal, they will either destroy him or devour him, and they will destroy all his work; and so for any existing relationship or for any benefit to this people let white men from anywhere in the world who would come to help Africa remember that you must continually retain this status; you the master, and they the inferior, like children that you would help or teach. Never fraternise with them as equals, never accept them as your social equals ; or they will devour you; they will destroy you.

Jan, I openly support your comments which must be, and will be by myself, broadcast at every opportunity, even as part of another subject to educate the people in Europe and the USA of the facts. I write weekly articles on motoring matters, mostly about the laws, for the English expats here in Spain, and the latest is copied below. The editors of the papers are supportive but I cannot go too far off my subject. You would be perhaps not surprised to hear that I receive emails and phone calls from especially ex-Rhodies and South Africans now living here in support and thanks. I hope you have enough room.

THE FUTURE, AND CURRENT, FUEL SUPPLY PROBLEMS (AGAIN).

As we toddle on towards the inevitable end of fossil fuels as we know them and the cost per litre here at the gasolineras seems to increase almost daily, alternatives are necessary and I agree with the experts who say that biofuel is not the answer as it costs a lot to produce, is not very clean when being burnt out of the exhaust and have another major problem. They also cause a lot of CO2 to be produced during growing and distribution. Previous readers of this column will know my feelings and that is in my considered opinion, hydrogen is the long-term answer but we need many more nuclear-powered electrical stations, and I have been saying and writing this for years, at least 15. Recently the “boss, Gordon Brown” in the UK actually has agreed with me at last so he must be reading this esteemed paper although how long he will be in a position to do much about it judged by his performance over the last 10 years is anyone’s guess; unless the electorate does not bother to vote again next time so they get in again by default.
Hydrogen production needs a lot of electricity to make it, but it can, even with new equipment designs be made in your home garage with a machine about the size of a large fridge, and enough for the average family’s consumption as well. Just think, home from work and before dinner and the TV, you fill up the family wagon ready for the next day. I know there are some small problems such as how will the government get their large tax slice, but there was with petrol and diesel so let us clever humans get on and solve them quickly. For those reading here for the first time and do not know what biofuel is, it is plant-life that can be converted into a liquid or gas (usually) to make a fuel that can be burnt mostly as petrol or diesel is now and the USA government is encouraging their American farmers with cash inducements to grow as much as possible for the US consumption so that country can be weaned off the ever increasing cost rises of fossil fuels. But there is a downside. Many countries that were formerly self sufficient on producing not only enough food for their own consumption, but for export as well are now failing to produce enough for themselves by a long way mainly for political reasons. Zimbabwe is an example and now following the same path is South Africa where in the last few months, basic food consumed by the poor has increased in price by up to 25 to 30%. The USA is a major supplier, but perhaps no longer. Of course, according to the leaders now and in years to come, due to us in the West screaming out how we are creating climate change (with India and China but guess who will be blamed as we are an easy touch?) and I believe it is a big con to increase and I can send details of my thoughts with internet links as proof to anyone interested – email me please. Well, historically such leaders in these Third World countries are always looking for someone else to blame for their bad management so they can stay in power, and we often fail to seriously set them straight, not that they listen much anyway. Let us not kid ourselves, major basic food-stuff shortages are going to be a problem and in especially sub-Saharan countries like Zimbabwe and South Africa, the latter already doing a “Zimbabwification” to the white farmers there and with the combination of the new farmers who traditionally only practice subsistence farming* plus they seem to be unable to cope with the regular droughts there as the previous white farmers have historically managed to do so for many decades, as well a maintain machinery and train staff (it is all in the SA Press), the lateral effect is that also, not selling much food stuffs for profit the new farmers are not paying anywhere as much in taxes (many none at all as they only produce for their families) to the new governments thus ensuring the lack of cash for the importation of the essential basic foodstuffs that are now necessary because the new farmers are not producing enough for their own country's consumption anyway let alone for export where as we know the real new money is earned. It is a vicious circle that did not exist before even under international sanctions. These basic foods such as wheat and maize meal (corn) and other root crops can earn much more as biofuel in the country of growth, so why ship it halfway around the world to countries that mostly cannot afford to pay for it at the much higher prices, and also thus creating greater carbon footprints in the process?
It is now being forecast by respected commentators in Africa and elsewhere who are usually correct that food-riots will occur in the not too distant future in Sub-Saharan Africa (and possibly elsewhere in the world), but we should not forget that this problem for such mentioned countries will be mainly self-inflicted by the new governments concerned. Also expect the increased invasions of Europe by the starving peoples. It is going to take hard-hearted leaders here to stop them coming but it will be necessary to protect us living here. The answer will be food aid again of course and so the cycle continues. Perhaps the answer is to re-colonise the countries concerned that are/will be in trouble and make them work again. The other problems facing especially South Africa is the current (pardon the pun) continual breaking down now for some months of the main electrical power-stations due to lack of servicing and updating with new ones, the billions in cash that was left by the previous government 15 years ago for this and other development purposes having been spent on un-necessary weapons (with subsequent major bribe scandals at high levels now in the Courts) that also mainly will not be used in anger except to perhaps quell starving mobs. The lack of electricity compounds the major problems with food and other factory and mining production (why is the gold price so high now? It is not just the recession and low US$. There is a shortage as it is not being mined as before due to low electrical power supply in the mines there. China especially is making a financial killing in the exporting of small generators so even people can see and cook at night in their homes in South Africa. And as for the hotels there!

How does this affect us in Spain? We will be expected as part of the EU to supply these countries with (free) food aid and fuel, etc. and so the silly waste continues. So when you read of the problems there soon, be fair and ask yourselves WHY? It was not a problem in the past, and even the droughts were coped with and a lot of food still exported, especially from the old Rhodesia. For the readers living here who are from Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, I have never tasted any steak yet as good as the old Rhodesian ones.

• Note: Subsistence Farming is where the farmer only grows enough foodstuffs for his own personal consumption, and in Africa that usually means the land is also severely ecologically damaged. The subsistence farmer traditionally only works as a family unit, not as a large economically viable farm, ruins the soil and moves on to new lands which he can no longer do.

If anyone disagrees, letters/emails to the editor are welcome and unlike some, the Editor as well as myself welcome sensible discussions on all subjects and I promise not to shout you down or “ban you” etc. Only by discussion can problems be avoided and knowledge expanded for all by knowing the facts. Please write to the Editor, please. Open communication and discussion is part of our right of freedom of speech, do you not agree?

Be safe out there and trust nobody. Until next time.

Thanks Adriana.

The bastards always blame the weather. There was bad weather too when whites ran the show. And we never moaned about it.

But the blacks always have 101 lame and useless excuses. You see, we whites made it look easier than it really is. Now that the Whites have been run out of Africa like dogs the blacks are running out of food.

But the blacks murdered the farmers and tortured and killed them and their families. The Blacks wanted to drive the WHITE FARMERS out of Africa.

I hope they all die. It serves them right.

While it is easy to perhaps feel embarrassed as you may have been programmed to at what you think are the ·"rantings of racists", please ask yourselves, why are they like it?     Is it because they knew and forecast what would happen and now it is so you feel guilty at being misled by the marxists and racists who seem to have really wanted the black Africans to become extinct, for this is an ever increasing possiblity with the serious diseases and corrupt inept leadership that they are also suffering from now the medical facilities are also dying out.  .   The evidence is overwhelmimhg now.    Time to listen before all of black Africa dies completely.      Or was that the liberals and the leftists planned all along?

THINK about it carefully and logically before you make any decisions.  What is best for africa?  that is he only consideration?  what will it take and listen to the experts who knew and still know.  The experts who were cursed and called racists before by those who sought and have since gained power: the power to destroy africa as is being done.
