POS should've been a lamp post ornament years ago... Mugabe is asking back the white farmers he chased awayTinashe Mushakavanhu, July 20, 2015 Quartz africa In 2000 Robert Mugabe shocked the world when he made dramatic changes to land ownership laws in Zimbabwe which resulted in thousands of white Zimbabwean farmers being forced to give up their farms and many to leave the country. Those white farmers owned 70% of the most arable land in the country which they had inherited from a colonial past built on racial hierarchy. But now the tide is shifting again. Mugabe’s people have hinted strongly, for the first time, that farmers can return–at least some of them. This will be some 15 years after the Zimbabwe government began seizing their land. A few selected white farmers will be granted security of tenure on farms regarded to be ‘of strategic economic importance.’ Meanwhile black beneficiaries are expected to start paying a small rental fee per acre that will be used in part to compensate the more than 4,000 evicted white farmers according to the country’s minister of lands, Douglas Mombeshora. Last year, BBC reported Mugabe told an audience, “We say no to whites owning our land and they should go.” It is the first time that the Zimbabwe government has publicly hinted on the failure of its unsustainable land policy. qz.com/458137/mugabe-is-asking-back-the-white-farmers-he-chased-away/The only time I agreed with mugabe...

Talked to a buddy that left SA about 30 years ago and got naturalized, he rarily talks about it, but I told him the ANC despot is doing the same as mugabe; taking land from white owners and giving it to the blacks. I asked if his relatives and friends are leaving.
He said that most people he knew that could leave (had trade skills), fled years ago, even his old school friends had left, most to Austrailia, New Zealand and the UK.
He predicts SA will continue their path of social destruction, and I whole-heartily agree.
