Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd: Why He Still Matters, 50 years on.
2017-02-18
Selected Excerpt: [American Renaissance] "I must warn you that there are people who become envious when they look into another man’s garden. If they see a large tree full of fruit there, then they say: ’We want to have it.’ The man who attempts or desires to steal from another man’s garden, however, always forgets to take care of his own. While he leans over the fence and looks and looks, he forgets to water his own tree. He forgets to spray against insects, and when he turns around, he discovers that the branches are withered and the fruit isn’t there or is inedible. . . Therefore you must not look with envious eyes to the more developed tree of the whites, because then you will neglect your own little tree that one day will be a great tree too. It has often happened that, when one person covets another’s property, they come to blows. Meanwhile, the thing that they both want to possess falls apart or turns rotten! Or the axe can be used to cut down the tree, and then no one has any fruit! We mustn’t be like that in South Africa. Let’s take the trees of separate development, and each care for his own tree."

#4  It's South Africa. If you're ANC, you get your own tree but the Party gets twenty.

#3  Just hire politicians to steal for you. Increase taxes on more fruitful trees, Kelo your neighbors land with the better trees, regulate who can and can not have fruit trees on their property, etc.
