Zimbabwe: Return of white farmers may boost food production
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2020
- Twenty years after Zimbabwe’s controversial land reform policy, when thousands of white farmers were forcibly evicted, some are returning to the land as tenants of Black owners.
As Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa reports from Mashonaland East province, the government hopes their return will boost production amid warnings that millions of Zimbabweans are facing food shortages.

In other words Zimbabwes finally admit what a disaster it’s been and they hope the white farmers can fix it.... my advice is to stay away from this mess.
Come the next political uproar you'll get tarred as scapegoats and kicked out again.
I don’t know why few decided to go back/ they lack self respect spit
You misunderstand, the Zimbabwe leadership didn't care about productivity of the land. They gave it to anyone honestly and their friends. They just wanted to take it away from the white minority pretty destroying their networth advantage in zimbabwe. South Africa is doing the same.
@Charlene Weah Weah I made a statement about what Zimbabewe leadership's intentions were. What did i say wrong?
@@simpslayer7839 They probably get money from the government
...meanwhile, neighbouring countries who gave land and sanctuary to the exiled white farmers, are now reaping the benefits of high food production, good employment for locals and a thriving economy. The new Zimbabwe government have tried to entice the farmers back, but most have decided to stay in their new countries. This is what happens when you break a trust.
@superior melanin Black farmers had 20,000 years to produce business's and products like that which the white European farmer brought to them. It takes vision, ambition, drive, and knowledge to achieve those things, and as we saw in Zimbabwe, once you take away the people with those qualities, it all fails. Your argument is invalid anyway, because the great European cities and cultures were all built with white working class slaves (serfs) for thousands of years, long before they ever got to Africa. It's called exploitation of local labour, and it didn't matter what color that labour was. But the end result speaks for itself. Farms that were taken off the white farmer invariably failed. I don't claim any "racist" factors in that statement, it is simply a statement of truth.
Why is my argument invalid? I fully agree Europe was built on white serfdom, and still is, but what has that got to do with the current situation in Zimbabwe?

Which countries are those,which are reaping benefits! At least those with money can partner with those who have land!
@@NUI_BAWK_2_AngIts leaders were sanctioned not the people of Zimbabwe. They were mismanaging their country, looting their SOE 's which made them unable to service their international debt. Their human rights records are atrocious, their elections rigged and opposition parties are targeted. That's why they were sanctioned.
My father inlaw lost his farm in Zim, he had 60 workers, had hundreds of thousands in equipment, he went back to see the land recently, the house was stripped, land barren, works gone.

The bread basket of Africa disappeared when Mugabe decided to seize the land of white farmers, essentially forcing them out of the country. After Mugabe not much has happened, the former white farmers of Zimbabwe have started anew elsewhere, such as in Australia. With corruption and poor decisions by the government I doubt that the former bread basket will be restored anytime soon.

I am never justifying violence. It’s not acceptable.
However, the white land owners had land, because at some point in time their white ancestors claimed land that was not theirs to take.
Two wrongs are never going to fix a problem, but I think we can all agree it’s insane to see the majority of land owned by whites in a majority Black Country.
@@kfallon862 Rhodesia was a white country, built from the ground up by white settlers, mostly Dutch. It's entirely reasonable that most of the land was owned by whites, even if they are in Africa.

Yeap, once they teach the native Zimbabweans how to farm the land, then it's time to get kicked out again.
Absolutely correct. Any country that would just invalidate title to land because of skin color is not a place worth living.
Would be good advice with any that go back to smuggle in secret guns. If the government ever tries it again you can just tell em to take the land deed from your cold dead hands!

It's their land. It's Rhodesia. The Bush War kept on for so long because the Rhodesians wanted to defend their country from communism. Eventually, the west did not support Rhodesia because there was a minority government (based on wealth). Premier Smith tried to find a compromise and Zimbabwe Rhodesia was formed, but nevertheless, the communists came and destroy the country.

@@busisanizzulu9267 they did own any "family" land as they didnt understand or practice the notion of private property, buying and selling, and did not have an established currency system but bartered even land for trinkets, they lived in a communal system where everything was shared, they did not have any political organization, state organization, nor did they practice agriculture since most tribes were nomadic hunter gatherers and did not stay in the same place and were continually roaming the country, neither did they build anything (save great Zimbabwe which were in ruins just like modern Zimbabwe today, by the time europeans arrived) nor settled in the same place, nor made any production or development of any natural resource, they did not even have a written language, nor cities nor monuments to mark so called "family" lands. Its important to recognize historical FACTS during the time of european arrival, its contributions and the result of mistakes that were made by all parties, and realize the truth that without European settlement, Zimbabwe would be just like the Sentinel Islands and its inhabitants who never had outside influences.

I've always felt Al jazeera had the most serious and unbiased reporting. But the language used in this report is really upsetting and angers me. Saying that "some" of the land grabs were "chaotic and violent" is such a misrepresentation of the wanton destruction and prolific and horrific beatings, murders, torture and rape of thousands of people. The fact that it's being referred to, as simply a "controversy," is frankly abhorrent.

Bring back Rhodesia
The sentinel Islands were never colonized by Europeans. Iceland on the other hand never was colonized by non Europeans and has a worse climate than Zimbabwe or The Sentinel Islands, agriculture year around is impossible. Now compare those 3 places.....

@74 Rowe Stone age? And where do your theories come from.
@74 Rowe Yawn. Sub-saharan Africa had the wheel for thousands of years but it fell out of use. The British observed that from Mali to Somalia, everyone knew what a wheel was and in their extensive civilizations it was made over and over again but you aren't gonna ride a wheel on a sand dune or in the dense forest are you? And how does not having a wheel equate to being in the stone age? Stone age means using stone tools. Africa was among the first places to walk out of the stone age. Or you don't even know this judging from your weak and uninformed assertions... And what exactly are you suggesting? The government snatched the land for its cronies and not the people who could farm. You speak about basic civilization yet people in Zimbabwe had among the most complex civilizations in Africa in the past. It is not a civilization problem here, it is knowledge and skills problem coupled with a corruption problem.
@74 Rowe "fell out of use " see below. Hilarious

@Olu, are you a Black African? How can you generalise like this?
"Open for Business" would mean guarantee of land tenure, and free movement of capital, neither of which apply to Zimbabwe. Prosperity in any country is a direct consequence of secure land tenure, and allowing commercial activity for profit; something post colonial African govts fail to grasp, denying their countries the opportunity to truly achieve their productive potential.

Wait....you are run off land you paid for and now you go back to be a tenant on land that was just taken from you? I'm sorry but that is some bad vibes. I think my whole thing is what do you do when it happens again?
That land was never paid for. You have to understand how whites got land in Zimbabwe. This topic is not simplistic as we try to make it. This problem mostly exists in the British African colonies where they intended to settle permanently and through that, natives were kicked off their lands. I noticed the opinions on this topic on Rhodesia and Zimbabwe varies subjectively on race. Most white conservatives think the white zimbabweans were rightful land owners. Most blacks especially natives believe taking land away from white zimbabweans is justice for them considering that for some, their parents and grandparents were forcefully removed and their livestocks were slaughtered when British settlers were seeking to expand and gain more land. The best thing is Britain should have honored their promise where they were to compensate land by purchasing it for the white zimbabweans but Prime Minister Tony Blair reneged that deal which made Mugabe uncompromising.
Would it be ok some non-Europeans go to Switzerland and make the alps for their taking and kicking out all Swiss people living in the alps, mind you the alps has been ancestral home for the Swiss people? Wouldn't you be happy if the Swiss people eventually fought and took back what was rightfully theirs from those who took the alps from them? Why is it seen as evil when black Zimbabweans take what has been their ancestral lands? There is a difference between purchase and grabbing. Had those white British settlers bought land from the black Zimbabweans, then it would be atrocious to kick the white zimbabweans off their lands.
@@westmax8491 yes west max this is a more balanced view. I would add that some land was unihabited in the modern sense whilst some was seized. Also the white people did cultivate land that sometimes was not so good actually.
Some European settlers came up from SA into scarce areas whilst cecil Rhodes did seem to forcefully take land.
Secondly, later European settlers bought (paid) for land under the Rhodesian government and later through the Mugabe government.
Problem is one change of gov in Africa, and property rights can be dissolved sometimes to give benifts to political parties supporters. See the protests in SA over Zuma as an example.
I do believe that as Africa moves away from liberation political parties, middle ground parties will emerge. liberation, sometimes violent scarring those involved (similar to guerilla Vietnam war) and running a country are two different beasts.
@@westmax8491 You guys couldn't farm the land that you stole 🤣, barren land with nothing growing starving to death yet you have the nerves to lecture someone on the land history and politics 🤣🤣.
@@vargvikernesssknife7443 that doesn't justify grabbing land from others. I have stated clearly that if British purchased land rather than evicting then it would be unfair to take back land.
Hahaha.. 'Anxious Masuka' What a name...
This is a bad idea for white farmers, if the government kicked you out once they're more than likely to kick you out again. I mean Zimbabweans sort yourselves out 😫😫😫😫 don't expect nothing from anybody
i would have never gone back.
I em waiting for an explanation, how locals can die from hunger on the fertile land.
how are you supposed to get food from JUST fertile land? you have to farm the land first
@@user-ub1gz8lx8c oh yeah, he was just very vague about it
No one dies from hunger there really there is subsistance farming and aid.
I wouldn't blame the farmers if they told the government that persecuted them to go shove it
Place is screwed up man.
As if people living in mud hut could have done anything
"Please save us white man!"
The compensating part is what I don't get
Let Zimbabwe use that same 3 billion dollars to educate farmers and supply local farmers with tools. Simple. Stop this inferiority complex!
What good is owning the land if you cant do anything with it.
Let me know if they’re gonna launch a coup
The knowledge my dear, the knowledge!
You need to gives your black guy training first before kick the white guy...
Should have salted the farm lands before they were kicked off.
"May"
More like "Will"
'Till the next black messiah comes along and.....jejejejejeje
they can have land but they didnt plant one tree....now look at them
Dnt come back some of u were not paying salary well, we rather starve in our own land than being abused, do ur farming in ur countries, those who want to come back, doors r open, bt if u repeat the same mistake u going again
So agressive
The future of South Africa!!!!
I really fear for the human race if the white European race becomes a minority we are all buggered
same
Bit racist man
@@Daniel-qu2kh okay and?
@@Daniel-qu2kh I am not white European myself I just feel that way when I look at the world and the human race so it definitely can't be racist just reality
@@Congo10-66 you're a joke if you believe you're less than Europeans.
You're lower than everyone.
Can’t live them can’t live without them
The internet has all the info you need to grow on land. This is just lazy lol.
what a joke!
I am white and would like to work in Africa.
Not because I am crazy, but because Africa has opportunities.
Go for it.
I have seen plenty coming to Nairobi Kenya. Get ready to he called 'muzungu ' everywhere you go by mostly children. You may think that word is a slur but actually it isn't.
Then start by calling yourself White!
Almost all African countries are exponentially growing economically so moving to Africa is not as "crazy" as most people think. I heard Botswana 🇧🇼 and Madagascar 🇲🇬 are doing very well
@@Otterstone they aren't, because debts are increasing and not much improvement can be seen on the living standards of the people
The harder part is to establish credit integrity.
This is disgusting, give the people back there land
