‘A matter of life & death': 15,000 white South African farmers seek refuge in Russia, report says
2018-07-10
[RT] A delegation of 30 South African farming families has arrived in Russia’s farmbelt Stavropol Region, Rossiya 1 TV reports. The group says it is facing violent attacks and death threats at home.

Up to 15,000 Boers, descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa, are planning to move to Russia amid rising violence stemming from government plans to expropriate their land, according to the delegation.

"It’s a matter of life and death ‐ there are attacks on us. It’s got to the point where the politicians are stirring up a wave of violence," Adi Slebus told the media. "The climate here [Stavropol Region] is temperate, and this land is created by God for farming. All this is very attractive."
After 30 years of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe, who could have possibly seen this coming.

#8  "Get Out While The Gettin's Good!" Wise saying for any true survivor. The trajectory seems set for the area to decivilize... Pity. Now they can trade the evils of Apartheid for the "charms" of decadent tribal warlordism...

#7  My guess is they asked and our state Department wondered if white farmers fleeing racism and violence from a black government might be too dangerous an act of political incorrectness. Plus bringing in skilled white farmers who are knowledgeable about modern farming would be unfair to the illegals whose farming skills are marginal, but are guaranteed to vote Democrat. Disgusting that we didn’t open our arms to them who really are fleeing racial persecution.

Absolutely amazing. Could there possibly be some sort of common ideological component ?
