What has happened to the once great nation where heart transplants originated?

The unskilled, uneducated, unsophisticated, and unprincipled leaders in the South African government have turned a great nation into a nightmare. I don’t mean to be unkind but graphic and to the point: thieves and idiots (or thieving idiots) are running and robbing and ravaging South Africa.

Highly trained and experienced engineers and other professionals have fled to other nations for better jobs and possible promotions. Unqualified Blacks have stepped into complicated positions and have made everything worse.

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), South African Airways PRASA, the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa, and Eskom, the national power system, are riddled with scandal and all are facing bankruptcy.

There is little hope for that nation because it seems that leftists, liars, looters, and loonies are in control of the government and major industries. Everyone knows what leftists, liars, and looters are and the loonies are characterized as racial loonies, political loonies, academic loonies, and looney loonies.

Lindsay Maasdorp is a racial looney and the Black Land First (BLF) spokesperson did not help the racial divide when he stated his views that he would support a rapist as long as the victim was white and the rapist was black. His party believes that all white people in South Africa are criminals by virtue of their existence.

ABC News reported that General Kehla Sithole declared, “White people brought crime to South Africa, they brought things they know we would be tempted to steal, just to make us look bad.” Sure they did. Whitey again. Sithole told 500 police officers in Pretoria “if it wasn’t for white people, there would be no crime in South Africa.”

All the official crime reports are clear that the great majority of rapes, robberies, and slaughters are black on black and black on white.

A Member of Parliament said, “Not all that visit our beautiful country come with the right intention, as they did 2,000 years ago by the person named van Riebeeck. He overstayed.” No, Jan van Riebeeck went to Africa in 1652, stayed about ten years, and “founded (1652) Cape Town and thus opened Southern Africa for white settlement.” It was not 2,000 years ago but less than 400 years ago. It seems most ANC members have trouble with numbers but they sure know how much cash to expect in bribes.

Other race loonies made an unnecessary problem for the nation when health officials advertised for 100 new doctors; however, Whites need not apply because they would not be considered because officials “aimed to fill the new posts with only black candidates.” Health officials, trying not to appear to be the racists they obviously were, said the move was “implemented to redress the country’s historical racial imbalance of Apartheid that saw most high-ranking positions filed (sic) by white doctors.”

The sick and dying don’t give a flip about apartheid, racial quotas, or whether their health care person is black, white, or polka dot. They just want a doctor.

There are political loonies, such as President Cyril Ramaphosa, who “assured ANC volunteers” that the ruling ANC is going to seize white land without any compensation. They also admitted that “90 percent of all black-seized farms have failed and lie fallow.”

South Africa cannot feed its own people so food must be imported; yet these loonies are taking farms from successful white farmers and giving them to Blacks who have no conception of farming. So, the confiscated farms (now black owned) are overgrown with weeds, modern equipment is rusting in the fields, and all animals have been killed or sold.

The leader of the extreme left wing party known as Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema said, “There’s no system that has worked successfully for Africans, except the Zimbabwean system.” Of course, everyone in the most remote village in Africa knows about the Zimbabwean nightmare.

There are academic loonies. South Africa has had a major scandal recently as numerous high profile officials have been exposed for lying on their credential vita. Some claimed to be high school graduates while others professed to have advanced degrees only to be revealed as frauds.

The selling of false credentials is big business and is illegal in South Africa. One online site boasts that a fake degree will be sent within 24 hours and promises “Our products are extremely realistic and professional…and we are South Africa’s safest and most reliable fake certificate online store, we guarantee you the best results always!” It adds, “Our products look so real that it will fool ANYONE!”

Many South Africans have purchased these degrees or lied about having a real one and unqualified South African officials in various levels of government have been a major embarrassment to the government. Just another reason why South African leaders have lost credibility.

Fake degrees are serious and dangerous as well as profitable business. The University of Zululand’s dean of the faculty of arts, Professor Gregory Kamwendo was killed “after he uncovered a fraudulent Ph.D. syndicate at the institution.” He was shot by another professor at the school and two men, including a lecturer at the same institution, were arrested for his murder. The professor was fighting against the illegal scheme that awarded doctoral degrees without academic preparation.

The African nation has major problems with unqualified people in other departments in addition to Education.

Then there are looney loonies such as former Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang who raised many eyebrows when she gave her opinion about slowing the developing of HIV. “Shall I repeat garlic, shall I talk about beetroot, shall I talk about lemon…these delay the development of HIV to Aids-defining conditions, and that’s the truth.” Dr. Tshabalala-Msimang was derisively called, “Dr. Beetroot.” A study by Harvard researchers stated that the defective South African AIDS policy was responsible for 365,000 premature deaths.

The incompetence went to the very top of the government when President Jacob Zuma opined that a shower [after sex] would minimize the risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. He also declared, “This continent [Africa] is the biggest continent in the world. All continents put together will fit into Africa.”

Some aide should have handed the President a world atlas and explained how to use it.

On February 2, 2000, South Africa’s Steve Tshwete, the late minister of safety and security, and former minister of justice and constitutional development Penuell Maduna were guests on the CBS telecast, 60 Minutes. The statement was made that “one person is raped in South Africa every 26 seconds” and their reply was “We’ve been standing here for more than 26 seconds and I haven’t seen anyone raped, have you…?”

That callous attitude about rape is one of many reasons South Africa is the rape capitol of the world and on a toboggan slide to oblivion.

If South Africa is to be salvaged, the leftists, liars, looters, and loonies that are in control of the government must be removed. If not, they may manage to un-invent the wheel and return to the jungle.

Sensible Whites are fleeing the nation because of multiple problems with race relations, banking, crime, unemployment, health problems with 19% of the population infected with HIV, educational problems with inadequate buildings and dangerous latrines where kids have fallen in and drowned, and political corruption. It is a seething volcano about to explode.

Rape is common in the major cities with one man in three admitting to having raped at least one woman, and over 25% of women have been victims. A woman is more likely to be raped than to learn to read. The crimes are seldom investigated and litigated. If litigated, seldom are there any serious consequences.

Thievery abounds in all areas of society and every person looks out for himself. Everyone in any place of authority seems to have his or her hand out not for a shake but for a shekel. There seems to be a mania to get the bribe before someone else does as recent hearings have proved.

The government is finally looking into corruption charges against one of the major corporations. Corruption charges have even reached the sitting President and the top six leaders of the ruling African National Congress (ANC). ANC leaders admit that the Zondo Commission corruption hearings will have a major impact on the national election in May.

South Africa is about to become South Zimbabwe in my humble opinion. It seems what we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history and Zimbabwe, a northern neighbor of South Africa, is in death throes as I write. However, South African officials—which means the Communist-controlled ANC that has misruled since the fall of apartheid—have refused to look reality in the face. Their motto seems to be “continue to loot while there is anything available to loot.”

The world’s media seems to be oblivious to the death of a great nation; the media coverage in Britain, Canada, and the U.S. is insignificant. The New York Times finally published an article, “Hit Men and Power” highlighting that “corruption and divisions have flourished within the A.N.C. in recent years.”

But the corruption is not only in the ANC but also in every facet of the nation: the schools, local governments, the utilities, the mines, the police, the unions, South African Airlines, the rail service, and the banks. Plus, the political corruption in the ANC bleeds into all areas of national and local governments.

Jacob Zuma was forced to resign as President after eight years of corruption that shocked everyone in its extent and its audacity, charges that still have not been litigated. His trial has been postponed until after the election in May. Zuma was replaced by Cyril Ramaphosa (one of the leading candidates for president in May) who as noted by the New York Times, is “a veteran A.N.C. insider, and early signs have not been encouraging.” The article admitted that Ramaphosa has “amassed extraordinary wealth” since the presidency of Nelson Mandela.

Two basic necessities of life are a place to live and food to eat and black and white South Africans are having a major struggle to attain both. Mandela and the ANC promised jobs to everyone and to build one million new homes; however, the unemployment rate is over 27% and only 40,000 houses were built between 1994 to 1999 when Mandela left office. People have been waiting in line for many years for a home with few results. Blacks have priority over Whites in jobs, housing, welfare, etc. Blacks don’t envy starving Whites, but they cast lustful eyes toward successful white farmers. I have seen posters warning white land owners, “Everything you have is ours. We’re coming for it.”

Black thugs are encouraged by black politicians to take land from Whites thereby providing the ingredients for a bloody uprising.

The official “legal” decision of the government to take land from white farmers and give it to Blacks, who often know nothing about farming, has something to do with the slowdown at least in agricultural production and the alienation, anger, and antagonism between the races. Aidan Hartley, a London Times journalist wrote, “Once-productive maize fields now grow only weeds. Citrus orchards are dying, their valuable fruit rotting on the branches. Machinery lies about rusting. Irrigation pipes have been looted and farm sheds are derelict and stripped of roofing.”

But enough is enough and the government is being forced to try to control the corruption since it seems to be like a noxious fog that has permeated every part of the nation.

Bosasa was a company that provided services (and bribes) for the government primarily in the prison industry; however, recent testimony, if true, suggests that some of the company’s officials may end up in one of their facilities along with top ANC leaders. Angelo Agrizzi was the company’s chief operating officer (COO) who recently spent nine days giving testimony that implicated the top six officers in the ANC of corruption.

Agrizzi admitted that the corruption started long before Zuma’s administration but that Zuma received monthly payments of R300,000 from the former chairwoman of the South African Airways, Duduzile Cynthia Myeni, known as Dudu. She was a very good friend of Zuma and has been charged with corruption after almost bankrupting South African Airways according to Forensics for Justice.

Agrizzi admitted he stuffed bags of cash that amounted to between $300,000 to $440,000 a month in bribes to senior ANC officials to secure lucrative government contracts. Agrizzi also testified to the Zondo Commission of a R500,000 “donation” to Cyril Ramaphosa during his 2017 campaign for president of the ANC. Ramaphosa said the money went to his son as consultant but later admitted it was a contribution to his election 2917 campaign. Ramaphosa had pledged to clean up the nation’s corruption problem but appears to have benefited along the way.

Campaigning in Cape Town on February 28, 2019, Ramaphosa blamed the nation’s many problems on apartheid, the mantra of most black politicians—blame Whitey. Of course, there is plenty of blame for everyone involved. The President, aspiring to being reelected in a few weeks, declared, “Land in cities and towns must be identified for seizure without compensation upon which high-density housing can be developed so that ordinary South Africans can live close to their places of work.” So, the much touted plan to take farms from white farmers (without compensation that has resulted in thousands of white deaths by black thugs) has been expanded to the cities.

According to ANC officials, all of South Africa’s problems are because of apartheid even though the ANC has ruled for 25 years. It is believed that the Whites are the reason the economy is dying, rape and murder are commonplace, and the nation can no longer feed its people, consequently any corruption is acceptable as payment for past mistreatment.

News24 reported that it is estimated that over R40 million was “donated” by Bosasa over the years to the ANC representing a significant source of revenue for the party. The Communists in the ANC have proved that they are as dishonest as highway robbers. The Communist slogan, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” is a slogan to justify taking from the haves and giving it to the have-nots; but in South Africa, it is the powerful taking even more away from the poor—white and black.

The voters will decide on May 8 if President Ramaphosa and his cronies at the ANC will be standing in the employment line or continue to snort, scuffle, and struggle at the public trough for their share of the public loot.

Greek philosopher Diogenes with his lighted lantern in broad daylight, looking for an honest man in the streets of Athens, would have little success walking the streets of South African cities.

The ANC no longer stands for African National Congress but for Accumulation, Nepotism, and Cronyism. Corruption is one of the most used words by South Africans. Of course, this does not surprise anyone since one-party rule always results in cronyism, chaos, and corruption.

The corruption is ubiquitous, especially in the ANC, the political party that has been controlled by Communists from its earliest days and has governed South Africa since the end of the white minority government in 1994. The ANC is infamous for sabotage in earlier years and now that there are many factions within, it has returned to sabotage plus assassinations—of longtime comrades. It is now a fractured party with occasional episodes of the “Shoot Out at the O.K. Corral.” It seems every member in the national government and in the provinces has his hand out or worse—even putting out contracts on fellow members with whom they serve!

The New York Times last fall published an article, “Hit Men and Power” highlighting that “corruption and divisions have flourished within the A.N.C. in recent years.” It admits that too many have lost the vision of earlier years and are struggling for “influential positions and the spoils that go with them.” Thus far, few of the ANC officials in charge at the national or local levels have been held to account.

But the corruption is not only in the ANC but also in every facet of the nation: the schools, local governments, utilities, the mines, the police, the unions, South African Airlines, the rail service, and the banks. Plus, the political corruption in the ANC bleeds into all areas of national and local governments. Everyone seems to demand a bribe to do anything.

The corruption is so dissolute, it has nauseated the famed New York Times to the point of publishing another scathing article almost a year ago headlined, “‘They Eat Money’: How Mandela’s Political Heirs Grow Rich Off Corruption.”

Wow, that was the Times of New York City!

The article charged, “Corruption has enriched A.N.C. leaders and their business allies—black and white South Africans, as well as foreigners.” The statement is easily verified in the life and administration of former President Jacob Zuma who had climbed into bed with the corrupt Indian Gupta family. The Times rightly said Zuma’s connection with the shady family, “contributed to the A.N.C.’s recent electoral losses and helped lead to Mr. Zuma’s ouster….”

Zuma was forced to resign and was replaced by Cyril Ramaphosa who as noted by the Times, is “a veteran A.N.C. insider, and early signs have not been encouraging.” The article admitted that Ramaphosa has “amassed extraordinary wealth” since the presidency of Nelson Mandela.

Former President Zuma hopes to take the office back from Ramaphosa in this year’s election to continue his pilfering of the people.

It seems the seeds of corruption were in the transition from white minority rule to black majority rule under Nelson Mandela. When the transition took place, the Blacks took political power in the national and local governments, but Whites still held the reins of economic power. The biggest burr under the saddle is that most of the arable land belongs to Whites; and Blacks want that burr removed. Hence, the Parliament has voted to take land from white farmers (without compensation) and give it to Blacks. That bit of political thievery has turned the nation into a powder keg as white farmers including children and the elderly have been tortured, raped, and killed by roaming black thugs. As of 2014, four thousand white farmers have already been killed, according to The Times of London.

Much of the New York Times article is old news to South Africans; however, the news is that they are dealing with the news! But more shocking is that they are willing to tarnish the image of Mandela with charges of self-dealing. The Times admitted, “In the early years of A.N.C. rule, Mr. Mandela and other top leaders, who had helped defeat apartheid but had no personal savings, received houses, vehicles and money from white business leaders — essentially bribes, critics say.”

Again, the Times is right on target declaring, “Almost no one comes out of this looking good.”

Mandela is still considered their national hero, but the failure to keep his promise of jobs and homes is a growing, festering boil on the backside of most Blacks. Stating what all South Africans know, the Times declared, “While Mr. Mandela is still revered in the West, his legacy is regarded more critically in South Africa, especially by some young black people. To them, he sold out the country’s black masses to the white business elite.”

Ace Magashule is now the Secretary-General of the ANC, but he was weaned on early corruption in the Free State province. At the demise of apartheid, he was in charge of economic development in the cabinet of Mosiuoa Lekota the premier of the Free State. The premier said he caught Magashule stealing government money which Magashule denied. The premier fired his underling, but the firing was overruled by the ANC deputy Secretary General, Jacob Zuma, who would become the President and take corruption to a shocking level.

At the end of apartheid, Zuma campaigned for corruption because all the other leaders were getting rich — people like Ramaphosa and others who were on Mandela’s A list. Zuma showed all politicians how to major on sleaze and now faces 16 counts of corruption, money laundering, racketeering and fraud related to a government arms deal in the late 1990s. Plus he has been charged with other corruption accusations including spending $24 million of public money to remodel his private home. With all this facing the former president, he will either go to prison or back to the presidency this year.

Premier Lekota acknowledged, “Zuma did go to some of the other guys and said to them, ‘This is what Mandela is doing. We must wake up and we must go for the money ourselves’” This is the same Zuma that posters and banners declare, “Zuma is like Jesus!” I’m afraid not. Jesus was not a thief.

Lekota left the ANC to establish his own party, the Congress of the People, in 2008.

The nation is in turmoil as election day approaches with assassinations, unrest in the black population, and reports of coups in the works. Reuters reported on September 10, 2018, “The ruling African National Congress (ANC) on Sunday labelled reports that top ANC officials, including former President Jacob Zuma and the party’s secretary-general, were plotting in secret to unseat Cyril Ramaphosa as party leader as ‘Shameless gossip.’” However, photos have been published with the alleged plotters together at a local hotel; but were they conspiring to oust the President or playing dominoes?

Obviously, President Ramaphosa is busy trying to stay in power and get reelected, but he has so many warring factions inside and outside the ANC, plus the murder for hire of wayward members and multiple acts of sabotage in many major cities. Everyone seems to carry guns or has bodyguards — even low-level provincial (state) leaders. If one complains about the shoddy work done on a government project or publicly complains about political corruption, he ends up dead in a few days. Of course, the culpable politicians often attend his funeral and may even weep copious tears.

President Ramaphosa pledged to clean out the massive, malodorous mess from South Africa’s “stables” he inherited from former President Zuma, but thus far, he has only added to the pile.

With that principle in mind, we can understand why South Africa is in chaos today. Their leaders have been disastrous, deceitful, and dangerous Communists. Under the white minority government of apartheid, many of the white officials were racists but they were efficient educated, leaders. The Blacks that have ruled since the end of apartheid have been dishonest, decadent, even dumb. That is obvious when reading their bios.

Nelson Mandela promised all South Africans: “Under a Communist Party government, South Africa will become a land of milk and honey….There will be enough land and houses for all. There will be no unemployment, starvation and disease. Workers will earn decent wages; transport will be cheap and education free.” Well, every person in South Africa knows that did not happen and the mendacious, malicious, and murderous terrorists in the African National Congress (ANC) had no plans to keep that promise. The ANC has controlled the nation since apartheid officials were sent back to the farm and Mandela became President.

Even Archbishop Desmond Tutu refused to vote for ANC candidates in the last election according to South Africa’s Mail and Guardian newspaper in May of 2013. Tutu described South Africa as “the most unequal society in the world” and he added that corruption, unaccountability, and weaknesses in the constitution were key issues that needed to be addressed.

That’s one time, and maybe the only time, I’ve agreed with Tutu.

Mandela and other terrorists at the ANC and the South African Communist Party (SACP) got a free ride on the Gravy Train while poor Blacks were left standing at the station covered with soot with the echoes of We Shall Overcome ringing in their ears.

Fools in the free world put their trust is a corrupt, cruel, combative Communist with an appealing smile and kind voice and now the once productive nation is on the toboggan slide to disaster. And it seems unlikely for anyone anywhere to do anything about the chaos that is swiftly approaching.

When Mandela died, he was replaced by Thabo Mbeki, also a member of the ANC who served from 1999 to 2008. He had a year of military training at the Lenin International School in Moscow. During his tenure, the South African economy grew an average of 4.5% per year and the black middle class was greatly expanded because of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).

The BEE policy requires any company seeking government contracts to have only 8% white workers. It is affirmative action on stilts. Highly educated white engineers and scientists fled the country for greener pastures. This is just one of many reasons why the water, electric, and other utilities are not producing what is required of them.

Archbishop Tutu declared that Black Economic Empowerment only serves a few black elites, leaving millions in “dehumanising poverty.” That’s the second time I’ve agreed with the Archbishop!

In 2004, President Thabo Mbeki attacked the media who argued that violent crime was out of control in South Africa. He called the media white racists who wanted the country to fail. He said crime was falling but some journalists were distorting reality by depicting black people as “barbaric savages” who liked to rape and kill. Sounds as if he was accusing the media of fake news and I know another President who has made the same charge.

Mbeki received heaps of symbolic coals of fire on his head worldwide when he questioned the link between HIV and AIDS. Then his popularity plunged further when he banned antiretroviral drugs in public hospitals. In November 2008, The New York Times reported that due to Mbeki’s rejection of scientific consensus on AIDS, an estimated 365,000 people had perished in South Africa.

The President felt impressed to resign.

At the resignation of Mbeki, Kgalema Motlanthe ruled about seven months from September of 2008 to 2009. Although raised by Anglican parents (with plans to enter the priesthood), he was influenced by the Black Panther Movement in the United States and the rising Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa. He was a member of the SACP and ANC. The former altar boy had been found guilty of terrorism and sentenced to ten years in prison being released in 1987.

He was a member of the militant wing of the ANC. For a while, he espoused the discredited views of Mbeki on AIDS but soon backed off. After he resigned as President, he served as Deputy President in the next administration.

The fourth President was Jacob Zuma (who ruled from 2009 to 2018) who has six wives and 22 children. With an incredibly corrupt past, he was chosen President, and he made the most of it for himself and his cronies. He was tried for raping the AIDS-infected daughter of an ANC friend according the Daily Mail. The Mail quoted Zuma as telling the court in 2006, “In the Zulu culture, you cannot just leave a woman if she is ready. To deny her sex, that would have been tantamount to rape.” He told the court the sex was consensual and it was his duty to have sex with her because she wore a short African wrap and he could not leave her “unfulfilled.”

What happened to all the feminists in South Africa? No, what happened to decent men and women of all tribes and races in that beleaguered nation? Honest voters would not elect him to clean out village latrines.

A Johannesburg court declared him not guilty of rape which I think was a correct decision but they did not declare him not guilty of stupidity. Nothing can help with stupidity.

He shocked everyone by admitting he knew she was HIV positive but said he wasn’t afraid of being infected since he took a shower following the alleged rape! (See end of previous paragraph.)

But then, it is South Africa.

He challenged parliament to change South Africa’s constitution to allow the expropriation of white owned land without compensation! Of course, honest people knew that was usually called thievery in polite circles. But Zuma is known as a thief having spent 15 million rand of government funds to remodel his private home.

Zuma ruled like an ancient, oriental king as President for nine tumultuous years. The scandal-ridden President whose middle name means “one who smiles while causing you harm” in Zulu still faces 783 charges of corruption, fraud, and racketeering. Moreover, he alienated all white land owners and even principled Blacks when he said, “People of South Africa, where you see a beautiful land, take it, it belongs to you.”

His outrageous counsel is said to be justified because Blacks make up four-fifths of the population but only own 4% of the farms. However, those farms have been in many of those white families for more than 300 years! Their Dutch and British ancestors carved those farms out of the jungle. They did not take any land from any Blacks yet unprincipled politicians are playing the role of dishonest demagogues to win support from the unsophisticated, uneducated, and unaware black voters.

The white farmers’ groups were appalled at the illegal land-grab saying that its members would consider land expropriation without compensation as “a declaration of war.”

Zuma’s land-grab should not have surprised anyone since he had been a member of the Communist Party since he was a youth–an active ANC member.

Zuma staggered from one scandal to another after being elected to office in 2009 and reelected in 2014. His ANC party has been challenged and pulled even further left by pressure from the radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), led by Julius Malema. Zuma boasted that his ANC party would stay in power until “Jesus comes.”

At Zuma’s State of the Nation address to Parliament after his reelection, members of the EFF interrupted his speech and a fistfight broke out in an incredible, chaotic display of politics. It seems the EFF leader Julius Malema insisted on knowing when Zuma would repay the 15 million rand he illegally spent on updating his home. The brawl looked as if it was staged by Larry, Curly, and Mo. There was some eye poking and hair pulling but I did not see any pies thrown at the “loyal opposition” leaders.

Zuma received “overwhelming” support from the ANC until they could not live with the embarrassment and humiliation caused by his scandalous actions. After years of outrageous behavior, his buddies at the ANC turned on him and forced him out of office in 2018. I suppose he left to spend more time with his family (isn’t that always the reason?); but with his many wives and 22 children, he needs a lot of time. It seems that morality, decency, and character are not necessary if you are the right color and carry the right card–Black as to color and Red as to politics. But then, even Communists must face reality eventually.

Cyril Ramaphosa succeeded Zuma as President in 2018 and, following the lead of the ANC, promoted a change in the constitution to allow the government to confiscate farms owned by white people! He has said that a “legal” confiscation without compensation will encourage economic growth! Of course, it will not help the economic growth of white people but in a racist government, that doesn’t matter. Furthermore, no sane person believes the economy will improve, the stock market will soar, and everyone (Whites and Blacks) will sing Kumbaya around a Maypole.

According to City Press last month, authorities began their land grab against white land owners of two game farms in the northern province of Limpopo after negotiations with the owners to purchase the properties failed. The government usually offers one-tenth, if anything, of what the land is worth. In early August, City Press reported the government had drawn up a list of 139 farms the government planned to seize “to test out” the constitutional right to confiscate land from unwilling sellers.

A government audit conducted in 2017 found that Whites owned 72 per cent of private farmland in South Africa, a nation with 4.5 million white people which is almost 9% of the population. But then, those farms have been in those white families for generations! Their Dutch and British ancestors cleared the land, drained the swamps, and build their farms and don’t plan on walking away from them.

AgriSA said about 20 per cent of South Africa’s farms produce 80 per cent of the food that feeds millions of people in southern Africa. However, that is not enough to feed the population and the struggling nation is importing food.

According to a UN report Why Has Africa Become a Net Food Importer?, the main reasons are “population growth, low and stagnating agricultural productivity, policy distortions, weak institutions and poor infrastructure.” Of course, that is obviously true in South Africa.

I predict that this will simply be another version of Zimbabwe: murder, terror, chaos, economic disaster with investments and Whites fleeing South Africa as it plunges into darkness.

Fearful and disgruntled farmers are unable to sell their land because everyone knows it will be taken by the government sooner or later. Probably sooner than later. Earlier this month, cattle farmer Jo-an Engelbrecht told the ABC’s foreign correspondent his farm just outside Johannesburg was now “worth zero.” Engelbrecht said, “We had several auctions in the last two or three weeks cancelled because there was no people interested in buying the land. Why would anyone buy a farm knowing the government was going to take it?”

There has also been no consideration of what forced expropriation of private farms would do to the already anemic economy. It would produce a tsunami of defaults on real estate mortgages that would precipitate a world-class banking crisis and inevitable recession.

Fact: If there are no farmers, there is no future; and with such leaders, it is no surprise to any realist.

The Daily Mail ended an article with this cryptic comment that if the nation continues on its downward path, “it won’t matter who ends up president of this magical, troubled country. They will be fighting to be King of the ashes.”
