It's saving grace was that diamonds were discovered in relatively recent times and post independence. Until the discovery of diamonds Botswana was just a dusty location that held little interest to whites. It was their saving grace that diamonds were not discovered and mined during the colonial era and consequently had a negligible white population to cause strife and hoard the wealth. They have been able to build their country with their wealth. Botswana continues to have a comparatively small white settler population and indeed other immigrants from Asia etc., and I would posit that is one of the key reasons it such a peaceful, cohesive country that can focus on its growth.

I fully agreed!!! I always wonder, why Americans, Canadians, Australiens - you name it - call their lands THEIRS!!! I wonder too, whose land YOU stole???? Damn…
Some of this is rubbish. The War Veterans were initially anti-Mugabe. The land question arose because of the failings of the economy. Mugabe went to the IMF to invest in industrialisation. IMF rules meant the economy tanked. War veterans started seizing land. Mugabe put them in jail. He had listened South Africans who did not want land reform in Zimbabwe affecting South Africa. But Mugabe was faced with civil war and so supported war veterans. The response of whites and the West was to finance the MDC and seek to tank the economy even more.
This land means a lot for the children of Zimbabwe,,..mugabe was not wrong at all and we also owned nothing in our country because of whites taking it from us so on the other side what he did is the best for youths like me ,,
Look at them using EVERYTHING THAT YT CREATED, the computer, the tvs, the vehicles etc etc, the problem is not about any political views the problem is blek inferiority and their jealousy they want to be on top they hate being bottom feeders, that guy lied about what started the riots the YT farmers had blax working on their farms but that wasnt good enough the blax wanted to be the boss but they are not leaders so since they refuse to get along with YT let them starve. Lmbo he said "the problem is that YT thinks blax arent leaders" uh no YT never said that blax can't be leaders but blax have proven that they aren't leaders.

the land reform program was the best thing to happen in zimbabwe and for africans in particular... this is an example of what will happen in many african society
That's like saying The Final Solution was a revolutionary stroke of genius. The dictator here did the exact same thing Stalin did. Remove the farm owners by force and replace with politically reliable people who had no experience. The best thing to happen to Africa is Mandela, but if he was so great then why is no other African leader doing the same? Cause he was different, he actually understood and followed through with common sense. He divorced his wife cause she wanted a high position job just cause she was his wife. But Mandela understood the African system was terrible. He game jobs based on experience and after he stepped down it went back to leaders only caring about their own isolated family.
I don't know if I would describe it as the "best" thing to happen in Zimbabwe. Even for black Zimbabweans it has hardly been the 'best' experience. One thing is for sure, given the great cost to the economy in the long run of the land reform that land has to be some of the most expensive land in the world. Even though the white farmers got nothing for it. So much irony.
@@grahamt5924 1. why are did Europeans come to Africa at the first place.? 2. Why are the Chinese now flocking to Africa now? 3.why did the Americans and Europeans establish their military bases in Africa? 4.why do Europeans keep many African countries on sanctions especially if that country does not agree with (a) trade policies, (b) the so called democracy. I think these questions will answer you question.
Did the farmers purchase the land they farm on or did the inherit it from their forefathers. If they inheritted the land from their colonial forefathers then the native citizen are the rightful owners of the land because we all know that the Colonizers luth and plundered and possess land that was not rightfully theirs.
@Facts not Feelings do you really have to make things up as go along? We know what colonialism was all about. Sorry. And i speak as an african who actually sees alot of good in what the Brits contributed in Africa and in Zimbabwe in particular.
@Facts not Feelings nothing was bought from anyone and noone has the right to gift people's ancestral land to anyone. If All Zimbabweans accept the new realities on the ground and apply for the new leases, there is plenty of arable land to go around. But i doubt if ever, the urbanised kids of the white farmers who have emigrated to Australia and Europe will ever have the appetite or rural expertise to run successful farming ventures in Zim. So its upto us the black Africans to take a deep leap of faith and take risks to invest in zim.
@Facts not Feelings Am sorry to point out that you are either absolutely naive or not of zim extraction. the so called chiefs were illiterate over one hundred years ago and would have highly unlikely had the ability to understand the finer points of contracting terms written in a foreign tongue. So much for a so called "agreement". Secondly, its not the lack of freehold or even leasehold title that has decimated the tobacco farming industry but a combination of factors. With the connivance of former colonial masters Britain, the American, EU, canadian, Australian, world bank, UN security council instigated sanctions have gone along way do shut Zimbabwe off the international lending system for Zimbabwean banks, and therefore forced the entire economy to be so over reliant to the domestic Reserve bank resources and govt taxation to keep the banking system afloat, hence the hyperinflation on the zim dollar that lead to its ultimate withdrawal. These so called white farmers were never actually farming the land, its was their black farm managers and the squatter, casual and child workers who toiled the land hard and most were often worked to their death. On other hand the so called white bosses were expending most of the time either drunk or playing golf or playing crochet in the numerous country clubs across rural Zimbabwe all day long. It was upto us the blacks who made things happen then and its us to make things happen again. As for anyone wanting to get a lease and invest, it all well and good and if you whites choose to stay and clean toilets in Australia and never return its also well and good as far as we are concerned.
@Facts not Feelings it was standard practice to work the children of squatters to death, or to shoot workers on the kneecap or simply tie "lazy" worker's legs on the back of tractors and pull them across thorny bushes and rocky terrain. Did you hear the part the war veteran said..."the whiteman made us to hate them" this is the kind of things that inspired Africans to go and fight that apartheid racist regime of ian smith. Oh how about the 1930 Land apportionment Act that forcefully drove natives in drier parts of the country while confiscating all of the arable land on behalf of white Europeans settlers being shipped enmass from Britain. I know alot about the sanctions regime imposed on Rhodesian govt, it was more political lip service by their own kinsmen and not the type of disgusting economic embargo imposed on the people of Zimbabwe and other third world countries as a result of failures by the colonial masters to uphold the Lancaster agreement. Talking about compensation, one can only be compensated for improvements made to the land but no for the land itself because the white Europeans did not bring land with them from Europe, and even so, its the colonial masters to do that compensation because its them that encouraged people through the British newspapers to take up soft loans and move to Africa. My preceding point still stands to the effect that as revired as the "kings" were, that did not extend to making crocked deals with the whiteman in return for a stash of opioids brought in from the chinese opioids feilds run by stately British drug barons.
@Facts not Feelings Yaaawn. You could not make any attempt to disprove my facts but instead you tying your best to parrot back to me old and tired narratives as espoused by these western newspapers editors that attempt smears character of comrade mugabe in negative light. I really dont see how how i can proceed with a brain dead like you. At least come up with something substantive that can stimulate my imagination so i can have the desire to re-educate you on matters zim. Bytheway, the Zulus and Shona people dont share ancestral farming or grazing land either in mashonaland, Natal, Transvaal or even in present day Mozambique. Try another lie. Its a matter of fact it was the Brits and the cockroach Boers from the flanders who were the one committing atrocities (copy pasting abusive practices refined by the Nazis in the Namibian genocide) against the Zulus in the Vaals and no barefoot shona partook in those skirmishes hundreds and hundreds of miles away from their ancestral home in mashonaland
Land redistribution was the first best thing that happened, those who think they need white people must follow them where they are ,they say it was illegal when they took it away from us whom did they negotiate with ,zvimbwasungata
So why are there now more black Zimbabweans in Western countries than in Zimbabwe itself... What were they running away from, and what were they running to?
The land belongs to Black Zimbabweans. We as Black people can not go to Europe and claim a piece of land. We can not even name places and streets of our African leaders and significant people in your continent. Yet we still have the colonizer’s still named in our country. WAKE UP ZIMBABWE, WAKE UP AFRICA
So if you come as an undocumented immigrant or refugee to Europe, 10 years later you get a passport and rights, but the Europeans who are in Africa for 3 generations or more have no rights? Talking about racism…
Yes blax do claim they're the original Europeans and I know here in my country they have streets named after them you people want your cake and eat it too but you can't have the cake without us and you treat us horribly when we're around you so why should we tolerate your crap?
Land belongs to those who are willing to fight for it. To the victor go the spoils. That being said, whites should never have set foot in Africa if they weren't prepared to completely and totally annihilate. Nor should they have taken slaves. They should simply have let natural selection take its place.

@Shiroya-Rumika. Botswana did not have any significant colonizer population. It was a protectorate. It's saving grace was that diamonds were discovered in relatively recent times and post independence. Until the discovery of diamonds Botswana was just a dusty location that held little interest to whites. It was their saving grace that diamonds were not discovered and mined during the colonial era and consequently had a negligible white population to cause strife and hoard the wealth. They have been able to build their country with their wealth. Botswana continues to have a comparatively small white settler population and indeed other immigrants from Asia etc., and I would posit that is one of the key reasons it such a peaceful, cohesive country that can focus on its growth. Absence of parasites and divisive cultures.
As a young zimbabwen born in 2000 i don't see anything wrong with taking back the land .any zimbabwen can get land for free to do agriculture
Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 will take time to get better.
Driving all of the skilled farmers out who knew what they were doing, and just giving their farms to people who had never grown a weed before in their lives was smart.
They will learn,just like how the others were thought.
@@LavishLivingHub.Official Our species seems to be incapable of learning from our mistakes. Any learned lessons will be forgotten in a few short years. We can apparently stick our hand in a fire, freak out, and the next person will need to see for themselves.

You are such a silly devil. Zimbabweans were used on farms by land invaders. The foreman were all blacks. Why are we the biggest tobacco farmer in Africa. Why sanctions on us after we got our land back. Sanctions are meant to scare South Africa from taking land but we are now food sufficient again in mother Zimbabwe without foreign funding for inputs like the pink people got & paying Zimbabweans peanuts and no tax. Even our wild life has increased especially elephants the moment we got read of the pink devils. Our empire is flourishing whilst you pink heads suffer from depression and anxiety. Take your meds rights to think better. Africa is for Africans. A devil will always be a devil.

Please tell the truth about the illegal sanctions.
its good the land reform was done. next should be property rights for citizens.
Why. So many people are starving to death today. I don't see that as good
How to make a bread basket into a dust bowl. How is it that people who claim to be the originals from the land can't even get things to grow? Just like South Africa, Africans given farms complained that they don't know how to run it and the farm dried up and went to ruin. So you want something somebody else has, and want them to make it profitable too? Give me an airplane and watch me complain that now I can't fly it. Just as ridiculous.

@@motocyklist.gdansklike the current invasion in EVERY White country every one of them are 👨🏿💼
Some of this is rubbish. The War Veterans were initially anti-Mugabe. The land question arose because of the failings of the economy. Mugabe went to the IMF to invest in industrialisation. IMF rules meant the economy tanked. War veterans started seizing land. Mugabe put them in jail. He had listened South Africans who did not want land reform in Zimbabwe affecting South Africa. But Mugabe was faced with civil war and so supported war veterans. The response of whites and the West was to finance the MDC and seek to tank the economy even more.
This land means a lot for the children of Zimbabwe,,..mugabe was not wrong at all and we also owned nothing in our country because of whites taking it from us so on the other side what he did is the best for youths like me ,,
Why this brave British people left Great Britain in first place?

Look at them using EVERYTHING THAT YT CREATED, the computer, the tvs, the vehicles etc etc, the problem is not about any political views the problem is blek inferiority and their jealousy they want to be on top they hate being bottom feeders, that guy lied about what started the riots the YT farmers had blax working on their farms but that wasnt good enough the blax wanted to be the boss but they are not leaders so since they refuse to get along with YT let them starve.
Lmbo he said "the problem is that YT thinks blax arent leaders" uh no YT never said that blax can't be leaders but blax have proven that they aren't leaders.

@@dalejenkins1558 please tell me were I justified the situation moron
the land reform program was the best thing to happen in zimbabwe and for africans in particular... this is an example of what will happen in many african society
Yes..fuck it up completely....
That's like saying The Final Solution was a revolutionary stroke of genius.
The dictator here did the exact same thing Stalin did. Remove the farm owners by force and replace with politically reliable people who had no experience.
The best thing to happen to Africa is Mandela, but if he was so great then why is no other African leader doing the same?
Cause he was different, he actually understood and followed through with common sense.
He divorced his wife cause she wanted a high position job just cause she was his wife.
But Mandela understood the African system was terrible. He game jobs based on experience and after he stepped down it went back to leaders only caring about their own isolated family.
I don't know if I would describe it as the "best" thing to happen in Zimbabwe. Even for black Zimbabweans it has hardly been the 'best' experience. One thing is for sure, given the great cost to the economy in the long run of the land reform that land has to be some of the most expensive land in the world. Even though the white farmers got nothing for it. So much irony.
Mugabe used to say Africa for Africans and Europeans can keep their Europe. Why then are so many Blacks fleeing to Europe.

I think these questions will answer you question.
What is it there were doing which natives were not capable of? Talk of economic sabotage
I applaud the veterans who fought for their freedom. Keep fighting till the nation is yours.

Beste is, los Afrika daar bo, net uit.
Did the farmers purchase the land they farm on or did the inherit it from their forefathers. If they inheritted the land from their colonial forefathers then the native citizen are the rightful owners of the land because we all know that the Colonizers luth and plundered and possess land that was not rightfully theirs.
@Facts not Feelings do you really have to make things up as go along? We know what colonialism was all about. Sorry. And i speak as an african who actually sees alot of good in what the Brits contributed in Africa and in Zimbabwe in particular.
@Facts not Feelings nothing was bought from anyone and noone has the right to gift people's ancestral land to anyone. If All Zimbabweans accept the new realities on the ground and apply for the new leases, there is plenty of arable land to go around. But i doubt if ever, the urbanised kids of the white farmers who have emigrated to Australia and Europe will ever have the appetite or rural expertise to run successful farming ventures in Zim.
So its upto us the black Africans to take a deep leap of faith and take risks to invest in zim.
@Facts not Feelings Am sorry to point out that you are either absolutely naive or not of zim extraction. the so called chiefs were illiterate over one hundred years ago and would have highly unlikely had the ability to understand the finer points of contracting terms written in a foreign tongue. So much for a so called "agreement".
Secondly, its not the lack of freehold or even leasehold title that has decimated the tobacco farming industry but a combination of factors. With the connivance of former colonial masters Britain, the American, EU, canadian, Australian, world bank, UN security council instigated sanctions have gone along way do shut Zimbabwe off the international lending system for Zimbabwean banks, and therefore forced the entire economy to be so over reliant to the domestic Reserve bank resources and govt taxation to keep the banking system afloat, hence the hyperinflation on the zim dollar that lead to its ultimate withdrawal.
These so called white farmers were never actually farming the land, its was their black farm managers and the squatter, casual and child workers who toiled the land hard and most were often worked to their death. On other hand the so called white bosses were expending most of the time either drunk or playing golf or playing crochet in the numerous country clubs across rural Zimbabwe all day long. It was upto us the blacks who made things happen then and its us to make things happen again.
As for anyone wanting to get a lease and invest, it all well and good and if you whites choose to stay and clean toilets in Australia and never return its also well and good as far as we are concerned.
@Facts not Feelings it was standard practice to work the children of squatters to death, or to shoot workers on the kneecap or simply tie "lazy" worker's legs on the back of tractors and pull them across thorny bushes and rocky terrain. Did you hear the part the war veteran said..."the whiteman made us to hate them" this is the kind of things that inspired Africans to go and fight that apartheid racist regime of ian smith.
Oh how about the 1930 Land apportionment Act that forcefully drove natives in drier parts of the country while confiscating all of the arable land on behalf of white Europeans settlers being shipped enmass from Britain.
I know alot about the sanctions regime imposed on Rhodesian govt, it was more political lip service by their own kinsmen and not the type of disgusting economic embargo imposed on the people of Zimbabwe and other third world countries as a result of failures by the colonial masters to uphold the Lancaster agreement.
Talking about compensation, one can only be compensated for improvements made to the land but no for the land itself because the white Europeans did not bring land with them from Europe, and even so, its the colonial masters to do that compensation because its them that encouraged people through the British newspapers to take up soft loans and move to Africa.
My preceding point still stands to the effect that as revired as the "kings" were, that did not extend to making crocked deals with the whiteman in return for a stash of opioids brought in from the chinese opioids feilds run by stately British drug barons.
@Facts not Feelings Yaaawn. You could not make any attempt to disprove my facts but instead you tying your best to parrot back to me old and tired narratives as espoused by these western newspapers editors that attempt smears character of comrade mugabe in negative light. I really dont see how how i can proceed with a brain dead like you. At least come up with something substantive that can stimulate my imagination so i can have the desire to re-educate you on matters zim.
Bytheway, the Zulus and Shona people dont share ancestral farming or grazing land either in mashonaland, Natal, Transvaal or even in present day Mozambique. Try another lie. Its a matter of fact it was the Brits and the cockroach Boers from the flanders who were the one committing atrocities (copy pasting abusive practices refined by the Nazis in the Namibian genocide) against the Zulus in the Vaals and no barefoot shona partook in those skirmishes hundreds and hundreds of miles away from their ancestral home in mashonaland
Land redistribution was the first best thing that happened, those who think they need white people must follow them where they are ,they say it was illegal when they took it away from us whom did they negotiate with ,zvimbwasungata
So why are there now more black Zimbabweans in Western countries than in Zimbabwe itself... What were they running away from, and what were they running to?
We want the land. Here in SA too we want the land. I don’t know what’s hard to reconcile about that.
Go buy some
The land belongs to Black Zimbabweans. We as Black people can not go to Europe and claim a piece of land. We can not even name places and streets of our African leaders and significant people in your continent. Yet we still have the colonizer’s still named in our country. WAKE UP ZIMBABWE, WAKE UP AFRICA
So if you come as an undocumented immigrant or refugee to Europe, 10 years later you get a passport and rights, but the Europeans who are in Africa for 3 generations or more have no rights? Talking about racism…
Millions of black Zimbabweans own property in Britain alone, and some own farm land... It's here on You Tube as proof.
If have enough money I think you can
Yes blax do claim they're the original Europeans and I know here in my country they have streets named after them you people want your cake and eat it too but you can't have the cake without us and you treat us horribly when we're around you so why should we tolerate your crap?

Ok. Should we do the same in Europe?
Land belongs to those who are willing to fight for it. To the victor go the spoils. That being said, whites should never have set foot in Africa if they weren't prepared to completely and totally annihilate. Nor should they have taken slaves. They should simply have let natural selection take its place.
