| White farmers receive eviction notices despite Mugabe pledge | |
| 2006-06-26 | |
The Zimbabwe government is reneging on a pledge to invite exiled white farmers back to work the land and is moving to evict the few hundred who survived President Robert Mugabe's six-year ethnic purge. Scores of eviction notices were either delivered or were on their way to productive white farmers last week. The farmers will have 90 days to leave their homes and abandon their businessess to stay. It was a spectacular admission that his 20 million-acre land grab had failed and that the expulsion of more than 4,000 white farmers had wrecked the economy. "Productivity must return to the land," Gideon Gono, the governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, said at the time.

| #13 Genocide of South African Whites Happening Now by nationalvanguard Wednesday, Dec. 03, 2003 at 10:27 AM Will the horrors now suffered by Whites in southern Africa be repeated in Europe and America? Will the horrors now suffered by Whites in southern Africa be repeated in Europe and America? Unbelievably horrific torture-deaths are happening daily in the South African farmlands, writes New Zimbabwe -- yet the Jewish-controlled media in the West say almost nothing about it, while wailing endlessly about a single drug-crazed Black criminal who died while attacking police in Cincinnati. “South African farmers and their families are being slaughtered. The murders are accompanied by torture and rape. The sadism of the attacks suggests either dark perversion or systematic terror. Dr Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch has even suggested that the killing could be classified as genocide.” When multiracialists were demanding an end to White rule in South Africa they never debated whether the result might lead to horrible suffering for White women, men, and children. White activists in the West would ask why the rhetoric of multiracialists never includes the possible suffering that Whites might experience if the controversial multiracial experiment being performed on them fails. “In South Africa, in the nine years following the end of apartheid and the ‘miracle’ of South Africa’s democratic election in 1994, more than 1,000 farmers have been killed. The death rate by murder for South African farmers is 313 per 100,000, perhaps the highest for any group of people on earth who are not at war. "In 1997 four young men invaded the farm of Beatriz and Jose Freitas in the north-east of South Africa. Jose, who is disabled, was tied up while they ransacked the house. They asked Beatriz where her iron was. Then they dragged her to the laundry, took off her clothes, kicked her to the ground, raped her, poured oil over her, switched on the iron and applied it to her body. Her skin came away in flaps. Three years later Jose was shot dead. This attack, reported by the South African TV programme Carte Blanche, is not unusually gruesome. There are hundreds that are as bad or worse. Old men are forced to watch their wives being raped before the couple are painfully killed. Farmers and farmworkers are tortured over many hours. What is happening? "There are two opposing theories. At one extreme, these attacks are seen as being directed as part of the ‘Second Revolution.’ The First Revolution was the takeover of South Africa by a black government. The Second Revolution, using terror, is the establishment of a radical black communist society and the expulsion of whites. Driving the white farmers off their land is part of this process. At the other extreme, the attacks are seen as being purely criminal and without political guidance or motives. The white farming lobby is inclined to believe the former; it points to Peter Mokaba, a prominent young ANC politician, who chanted, ‘Kill the Boer! Kill the farmer!’ to cheering black crowds. The ANC government says that it believes the latter. "To explain the sadism, violence and the rape in the farm attacks, you need to understand only two things: the attacks are happening in an extremely violent country with very high unemployment, and the attackers are poor, ill-educated, fatherless, jobless, rootless young men — who happen to be black. South Africa’s murder rate is 58 per 100,000, perhaps the world’s highest. (The rate for England and Wales is 1.3.) I have lived a sheltered life, but a man was shot dead across the street from me; a motorist was clubbed to death with a hockey stick by another motorist at a crossroads near me; in the bushes outside the nearest pub, a young girl was gang-raped, had one of her nipples bitten off and her mouth wedged open with a wooden stick so that they could rape her again in the mouth; I saw the mortuary photograph of a young man who had been tied to a railway line by two friends so that the train had cut off his legs at the shins and his head between the upper and lower jaws. Every South African can give a similar account.” White activists would ask if similar horrors are awaiting the West if multiracialists are successful in making Whites a vulnerable minority, surrounded by alien and disparate races. http://www.newzimbabwe.com/pages/veld.1103.html www.nationalvanguard.org/index.php http://southafrica.indymedia.org/print.php?id=4973 |

| #11 The writer's view on the media, not my own. I can however, understand the frustration. Not a great deal published in the MSM as you may have noticed. |

| #8 It can get as bad as the Congo, and the tranzis will not let anyone do anything about it. For those who don't know, POWs in the Congo now serve as mobile meals. Mugabe was let into power back in 1980-81, over the objections of a large majority of the tribal cheftains and the whites, and immediately started ethnic cleansing against the opposition blacks and Asians. He waited a few years to really start in on the whites, milking them for all the money and expertise he could. Personally, I feel that if you are a white farmer/businessman, you would have to be clinically insane to stay in Zimbabwe -- it is a lost cause in the most extreme definition of the word. And it will only get worse, because of Western guilt over colonialism and the tranzi socialist brotherhood backing one of their own. |

| #6 A recent Economist article noted signs of growth in Zimbabwe's neighbor Zambia. One possible contributor is the influx of white farmers who crossed the border, taking their expertise and work ethic with them. Some people think you can steal success outright. You can't. If Bob would have been satisfied with fleecing his economic base instead of skinning it alive, then he'd be just another African despot without the 1200% inflation. But where's the fun in that? |

| #5 The Zimbabwe government is reneging on a pledge to invite exiled white farmers back to work the land... Reminds me of the scene from Animal House: "You f*ed up - you trusted us." |

| #3 "..Didymus Mutasa, the lands and security minister, told Western diplomats this week that he did not care if Zimbabwe's land remained unproductive "as long we [blacks] own it". Puff Didy will own his own grave too. ZimBob sure knows how to hire talent. |

| #2 I said it a long time ago here on rantburg. There comes a time when its time to cut your losses and move on. Any white farmers still in Zimbabwe have my respect for their tenacity - but it's a losing game. Get out with your lives and be happy. |
