It is sad that South Africans are not learning where they end up be ,they should raise their heads and see what Mugabe is going through that now he is calling for the white farmers to come get their land back even though he is saying it in other words that only those who did not say anything bad about the government are the ones who are being returned to reposses their farms .He is a grown man with a lot of pride and is shy to say it straight "i have failed" .

And now look at this....that i found......

I disagree with you as far as your first paragraph is concerned. I refer you to my article "Ten Green Bottles" posted recently. Mugabe has learnt nothing at all. The white farmers have not been invited back to the land. What the recent press release said was that land minister Didymus Mutasa had said that more farms would be taken over but that "the lucky ones" may be invited to stay. By the "lucky ones" he implied those who support Mugabe. Show me any proof or statement that Mugabe or Mutasa may invite farmers back. It is completely contrary to the thinking of the Mugabe hierarchy who are determined to destroy a country piece by piece due to a mis-conceived hope that black farmers may be able to revive a dead farming economy.

As far as "Boer farmers" are concerned, the attacks on farmers in South Africa must be viewed within the context of a much higher than normal crime wave throughout the country. Farmers are more isolated and further from help than the average city dweller. They are, if elderly, often easy targets. My information from my homeland tells me that crime is an increasingly worrying aspect of South African life.

Farm land in South Africa will never be taken over "Mugabe style" because the government, unlike Mugabe, realise the economic importance of a healthy farming input. South African farmers are able to produce surplus grain and crops for export kudos. What is happening is that some farmland north of the Transkei may be taken over but with compensation commensurate with value.

Ooh,really they want to apply more salt to the wound .Sure they haven't learnt if that was his statement.

How long have you been out of S.Africa ?,this is information from someone who is there so maybe it's happening now .and if it's happening then why is the international media not making stories out of it ?

They'll be starving soon, and blaming western racism for our reluctance to deliver massive food aid.

Sure the'll do .

Someone told me that both the west and Africa depend on each other .The west gives Africa aid and in return the West always get the votes they need to do whatever they want in the world .They say thats why they don't push Africa too much .

I was in the Eastern Cape 7 months ago. I'm not quite with your post. Are you saying that the crimes against farmers are being sanctioned by the government in order to take over the land? If so, I disagree. There would be too much to lose.

Thats what South African white people are saying ,maybe because all these attacks are being done by black South Africans and the government is not doing enough to control it .
