South Africa farm seizures BEGIN: Chaos as first expropriation of white-owned farms starts

SOUTH AFRICA’s government has begun seizing land from white farmers, targeting two game farms in the northern province of Limpopo after talks with the owners to buy the properties collapsed.

By Paul Withers,
President Cyril Ramaphosa on land expropriation proposals

Johannesburg-based newspaper City Press reported owners Akkerland Boerdery wanted 200 million rand (£16.7m) for the land, but that the country’s government were willing to offer them just a tenth of that at 20 million rand (£1.67m).

A letter sent to the owners earlier this year had said: “Notice is hereby given that a terrain inspection will be held on the farms on April 5, 2018 at 10am in order to conduct an audit of the assets and a handover of the farm’s keys to the state.”

Akkerland Boerdery immediately took out an urgent injunction to prevent eviction until a court had ruled on the issue, but the Department of Rural Development and Land Affairs has refused the application.

Annelie Crosby, spokeswoman for the agricultural industry association AgriSA, told City Press: “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.”

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

He told City Press: “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.”

Tensions among South Africa’s white farming community has been escalating since the election of Cyril Ramaphosa as President earlier the year, who committed his African National Congress (ANC) to land expropriation.

Last week, ANC chairman Gwede Mantashe sparked panic among the farming community 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.

“And that is why we say, to give you the tools, revisit the constitution so that you have a legal tool to do it.”

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.

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”.

Is anyone old enough to remember when Rhodesia was the “bread basket of Africa”? Farms were seized and turned over to negroes. Zambia and Zimbabwe cannot even feed its own population, now, without Western aid. Same land. Same farms. The only difference is that they were stolen from whites and given to blacks. Many of these, once upon a time, farms have been fully deserted. Watch even worse happen to South Africans. Time to cut off Western aid to Africa.

Absolutely! I watched that absurdity to the north and now the same fate is befalling South Africa. The ANC, per usual, has made an utter mess of land reform and now with communist radical, Julius Malema, breathing down his neck, Cyril Ramaphosa is proving himself nothing more than another useless black African leader, so resorts to theft. Already after countless brutal murders of white farmers and their families, agricultural production has fallen dramatically in South Africa. Worse is to come, but just watch the pathetic West hand out Aid to compensate for gross stupidity. When South Africa under apartheid practiced racial discrimination in sport, it was sent into sports isolation, but when a black government does similarly the cowardly West permits racial discrimination.

The same happened in Russia. Till the Bolshevick Revolution in 1917 Russia was the bread basket for many countries in Europe. After the Revolution they started to buy grain from the other countries and hundreds of thousands died from hunger. Every people deserve their government.

Millions died from hunger in Russia and the Ukraine. It was a result of Bolshevik stupidity and cruelty. Liquidation of a ‘the Kulaks as a class’ was deliberate genocide of farmers and their families.

Yes, you absolutely correct. But it was just a tip of the iceberg. “The Red Wheel” literally exterminated Russian culture, sold the unique treasures abroad, in order to build their criminally insane state. Stalin exterminated 60 Million people in Gulag. My hero Ronald Reagan called this state “Evil Empire”. You can’t make it better. I count my blessings every day that I’ve escape them 31 yrs ago. God Bless America!

The problem began after Mandela died. When whites ruled, blacks were denied civil rights. No real difference between the time before de Klerk and after Mandela.

No, they all seem to lack the ability to govern themselves. The preference seems to be to migrate to a successful society, then try to change it back to what they know. And we, in the successful societies, are lying back and allowing that to happen. How dumb are we?

The farms are being given to inexperienced people who do not know how to run a farm. Soon there will be famine as the farms do not produce the needed crops, and the land goes to waste.

When productive farmers are gone, so is the source of food. If the south african government thinks they will get millions of dollars and tonnes of food from the US, they think wrong. All aid to south africa should be cut off permanently.

Massive corruption by officials,ongoing murders,rapes,torture and sub human attacks on the helpless farmers who have virtually NO police support as they are also in on the thefts of land,$$$ and property,and in many cases are the attackers and thieves,complete lack of ANY accountability by officials,disarming of White farmers and the gimme,gimme,gimme MORE free stuff attitude of the vast amount of unskilled NON laborers,skyrocketing inflation with bottoming out of food production,contaminated water supplies by non-functioning [now] sewage treatment plants,intermittant electric [now] lack of working infrastructure [now] rampant racial hatred by black africans towards the whites,massive lootings of businesses,and general anarchy across SA is creating a situation where EVERYBODY in SA will in the near future come out the losers,except for the corrupt leadership who have stolen billions and parked it safely in out of country accounts,is rapidly leading to a TOTAL breakdown of the SA society on a massive scale.
They will,however find a way to blame it ALL on the whites and cry for help from somebody,anybody when they are unable to produce food enough for minimal support of it’s population,which is already happening.
They steal the land,LEGALLY OWNED by white farmers,torture and murder the farmers and are unable to grow anything as they have NO knowledge of farming,nor desire to have any.
The food grows magically from THEIR land,and therefore needs NO farmers,or equipment to grow it,just black ownership..

The scorched earth policies of the masses leaves nothing but death and destruction in their wakes as they move,like locusts,from one productive area to the next,looting and murdering any in their paths.
Once excellently maintained beautiful,large farms have the appearances of the Oklahoma dust bowl of the depression era,with the bones of those who ran them bleaching in the sun,equipment stolen and buildings looted,stripped and burned,and the “expropriation” mantra of “Death to the Boer” [the whites] leading them ever further along the path to hell,which has already taken up permanent residence in SA..
It is the future of the USA if the leftists and turd worlders take control,same mentality,same MO,same low IQ operational techniques,same delusional outlook.
Lie and Steal until there is no more left to steal,and then,while dying of starvation,blame someone else for it happening,and cry for handouts as they are now blaming the “White man” for THEIR criminality and lack of intelligence,foresight and work ethic.
Why work,when you can steal from others and get away with it,for today at least,as they can’t see tomorrow..

If you really have the guts to look at the future,look to South Africa for a true vision of it,if the leftists and muslims have their way,here in the states..
NO functioning hospitals,few actual Doctors,no medical supplies,Intermittent electric,no fuel supplies,Corrupt law enforcement,no clean water,few functioning farms,looted supermarkets,now defunct supply lines to cities,anarchy,terrorism ongoing,daily [and nightly] events and a hi speed race to the bottom of a country and a people run by thugs and criminals on an epic scale and endorsed by the masses.
If you disagree,and prefer civilization and civilized lives,”You’re a Racist” !
Sound familiar?

Imagine the Bloods,Crips and ISIS running the US Gov’t with 0 accountability,that’s SA 2018..

It’s anything but pretty,matter of fact it’s downright UGLY and THAT is an understatement..
But,hey,It’s the “White mans” fault,ask them,they’ll tell you.

It’s awful. The Boers gave up like good sports, “This is horrible and can’t go on” – and they get this back. Apart from what it will do to the country, which is worse. Bloodshed is already going on, but I read how Boers are organizing and training militias. Civil war? Don’t count it out.

My US Senator Jeff Flake (RINO, Arizona) is currently in South Africa. With luck, President Cyril Ramaphosa will KEEP him there. Flake-y will bugger up that régime within days. If he needs help to bugger up the system, we can send US Senator Juan McRino, also from Arizona.

It is time for a scorched Earth policy. Let see how smart this movement is. Without farmers, they are going to starve. When they run out of food and water, let’s see if their attitude changes.
Meanwhile, I would be salting my land and burning the machinery. But first, I would buy a plane ticket for my family.
