RE: South Africa Begins Seizing White-Owned Farms

in #news6 years ago (edited)

I appreciate your opinion even though I disagree with you. Shouting racist at me won't change the cause and effect.

You don't provide any evidence or historical precedent that will change my mind. Large scale farming is very complex and a lot harder than "Putting seeds in the ground and watering them." A 10% change in yield is the difference between a successful farm and one that fails and goes bankrupt. Soil conditions very from farm to farm, drainage varies on the same farm, insect control and remediation are seasonal, soil treatments are different every year and large scale farms are now computerized based on previous yields, drone surveys, satellite and soil sample surveys.

When the European settlers attempted to farm in the "New World" for the first time, they all mostly starved to death because they didn't have local farming knowledge. It has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with local knowledge and capital management skills.

What's going to happen to the banks that hold all of the debt on these farms? They are going to suffer massive losses as I'm sure the government won't be paying off the loans and this plan will likely trigger a significant banking crises...this is one of the main reasons the ANC is also conflicted about this plan. It very likely won't work, it will make the nation more poor, just like it did in Zimbabwe.

My man, i'm not shouting racist at you. I only am giving my opinion of this article based upon logic.
Im sure you would like to think that these farmers have the upper hand but they are not needed.
All there knowledge is irrelevant and useless. I'm sure you wish white people could be in charge forever.
The fact of the matter is that all the farmer can leave if they want to leave, nobody is crying for them to stay. You and the whole world can cry incompetence for the rest of your life and i think we understand your predigest towards Africans. South Africa got over it.
I'm sure you got a lot to say about the banks, the ANC and crises talks before it all happens.

But what i know about most companies and people in South Africa is that most of them are corrupt. Does matter who runs it, if its white or black, its all the same corrupt people.
Do you believe in God my friend?
Well, sooner or later this unseen force punishers or your own greed leads you to you death.
So you covering for a nation of companies and people that stinks like rotten corrupt shit.
The only why to survive is to do the right thing and nobody is doing that in South Africa, never mind the skin colour.
F*ck history. It isn't a pure science, you just based your opinions on the assuming that all black people are the same.
I'm sure that you can talk about what happened in Zimbabwe and this is what you trying to show me but nobody is believing it because some people know more than you the average human and the rest learn from tv or internet, all halve facts. The game is up, over, good bye, the end, you lose.
