That made me so homesick. My parents , grandparents and great grandparents all farmed in SA. I have been in England for 26 years and am 91but will never forget HOME. We walked for miles, rode for miles and travelled for miles. The solitudeand and peace and wildlife was something the people here will never understand or appreciate.

How can you own 4000 acre land shamelessly when millions live in 50 by 50 meter plots. Government must cap land size in accordance with geographical regions and high productive areas should be subdivided
Better to have good memories..... as to stay on farms since 1994.... your life is more worth than to be a farmer in South Africa.... I also agree... Africa is to me the most beautiful Continant ❤️
I love you Dimbwe. My parents and Grandparents spoke your language as well as you do and were greatly respected and trusted by your people. Our dearest friends were the African people living on our farm. They did pay for their farms and they allowed the the original owners to live and work with them on the farm. We trusted them so much we never locked our doors even when we went away from home. My father always said "Never try to change a man's beliefs or customs. You will be delighted to hear that when my father was 70 years old the Government took his farm away and gave it back to the Africans. What you are saying makes me feel very sorry for you. This may also make you happy. 18 of my closest relatives (all farmers) were, kllled by Africans and although my husband and I were not farmers we decided to leave and start a new life at the age of 60. Our children had already left. We had to work until we were 80 before we were accepted as citizens here. I thank God for the wonderful life we had in South Africa and I also thank him for the wonderful people he let us live with in South Africa. God bless you and heal your heart and soul. Money and position and possessions are of no importance but a heart full of love is.
We all speak English. We used to have only 2 official languages - English and Afrikaans. Now we have 11 official languages, and they're trying their best to declare Afrikaans as not an indigenous language. So willfully ignorant.

We owned a farm at Hansmoeskraal near George , sold it and bought a farmlet outside Uitenhage at Withoogte. That was back in the 1960's and 70's. Would love to go back one day and visit our farms. Julle plaas lyk baie mooi. Ek hoop julle het lekker gebraai. Groete vanuit NZ.

South Africa is truly beautiful. I live in Durban Kwa Zulu Natal and my friend has a game farm in the Ixopo area. Magnificent farm. We hunt there during hunting season.
if only the black people can realise theres enough land for all, the country is a country of milk and honey, best weather in the world, if black people only could only experience just one day in Germany winter weather im sure thy would change their mindset, in winter it only light at 9 in morning and by 16 30 its dark again, cold and wet,

I love South African farmers because without them I would starve !!! They are the backbone of South Africa but our government don't seem to care if they are murdered on their farms ??? I hope things will change ! God bless them and keep them SAFE !!!!
I visited South Africa for the first time in 2020, got caught for 5 months in COVIC lock down in Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. I had a blast - what a beautiful landscape of hills and mountains that look like gnarled old men, beaches. The locals were so nice - Dutch Afrikanners were as good looking as Nordic Swedes but friendly, not stuck up. Beautiful infrastructure, malls - lots and lots of honest, hard working young people from neighbor hooding countries like Zimbabwe. The political, crime, electrical "problems", "issues" are obviously very bad but not unexpected. What did you expect offering full "democracy" to a multi racial, multi tribal, multi religious society with tens of millions of illiterate poor people who will of course go for Communist scams to steal from the rich to give to the poor - that happened in Zimbabwe and look what followed - economic, social collapse. I've followed the small success of Orania - good for them. But, have SA locals of all races, ethnic groups, tribes, merchants consider a British East Indian Company "The Company" model, this was before India became a formal British colony? Under this "Corporate" model farm land isn't owned by individual (White) farmers instead it's owned by "the Company" and "the Company" can cut in Black, ANC pols for some share ownership so these lazy folks don't have to work real jobs. There will be very large agribusinesses with (White) farm managers and decently paid, fed farm workers - nobody will starve and there will be basic health care so the farm workers don't contract AIDS or Ebola. Also the British East India Company "The Company" employed private para military armies to defend the property and people in "The Company". I'm pretty damn sure lots of Zulu warriors in Natal would really enjoy being trained as Gurkha type paramilitary soldiers with the best British and Dutch officers. The Zulus are a warrior tribe, not really suited as full time farmers or merchants - leave that to the Asians. And folks, lots stop just spreading doom, gloom and despair. British and Dutch South Africans are a tough people - the British Empire put Dutch Afrkianners in concentration camps during the Boer war, OK, so it's not like you people haven't ever had it tough. God bless all the good people of all races and tribes, ethnic groups in beautiful South Africa - please privatize your electricity, rail and airplane services ASAP.
South Africa is slowly being surpassed by Kenya as the most developed and well managed country in Africa. If care is not taken, south Africa will continue to deteriorate. When black s. Africans took over from white power, they came in with psychological scars. Those are not scars that heal overnight and white s. Africans must come to terms with this FACT. The cry about corruption is a lame excuse because corruption is everywhere including the US and most of Europe. There's corruption also in Kenya but Kenya has been able to thrive and move forward regardless. The problem with SA is that white s. Africans expect black s. Africans to magically turn things around overnight. I'm sorry to tell you the truth but do not even expect things to turn around in 20 or 50 years if black and white cannot work together and keep tabs on each other. The reason why Kenya is surpassing SA is this: The white people that remained in Kenya did not flee the country or continue to oppress the Africans. The white people that chose to remain after independence kept a distance and many of them continued to run businesses in tourism, hospitality and agriculture behind the scenes. Over the years their children became first generation Kenyans and to this day, many of them still live in Kenya and many are mistaken to be tourists. With SA, the white people chose to flee the country thinking that Europe was the best place for them but thirty years later they are now crying because they miss home. I'm a black Kenyan that has lived in Africa, Europe, the US and Australia and I can tell you for a fact the there is no place on this earth that compares to Africa. Africa has many sons and daughters OF OTHER RACES and most of us Africans have come to terms with that fact. Whether you are white, Arab or Indian and your original home was in Africa YOU ARE AN AFRICAN. It's never too late to return. Just come back home and live peacefully. You can thrive in the background regardless of corruption.
"hard honest working Zimbabweans" and the Dutch being boers? Don't know who told you any of this but it's clear you were in woke Cape Town go look at our news and see who's highjacked our cities it's Africa our so called "neighbours"... you must be a communist, it's why you enjoy Cape Town
I live in town and yesterday a porcupine attacked my dogs again. So you dont need a farm. Come and experience wildlife in my yard. We have been attacked by a baboon, visited by an animal Ive never seen before. Then ducks, frogs, rats, cats, dogs and hedgehogs. And dont forget a cow that also walked about once.
I was reading such beautiful comments until I read a response from @anthony Germany in which he stated that South Africa was a land of milk and honey before 1994, please can you elaborate on that one coz I'm completely lost.
Well we have had a bunch of thieving criminals in the government systematically destroying this country. They also hate white people, why else would you have AA / BE discriminatory employment laws in SA? Too old to emigrate but I wish I had.
Land stealing after more than 2 decades of independance, one more uneducated speaking, beacause of stealing look wher SA is today, my father had a farm in SWA, sold to accomodate resettlement procedures, the house was vandalized be the new settlers, each one getting something for his pondok, and the leftover ruins is a livestock pen
How interesting that when your forefathers were forceful removing the natives and grabbing the land you did not ever see them as Vultures !! Anyway have a great one and be open minded.

Hi Hermie & other knowledgeable farmers. How old is too old to start farming? My sister-in -law has just retired & wants to start farming on her ancestral land in Alcocspriut (KZN). The whole family thinks she's nuts. I'm the only one who's encouraging her. Please respond.

And when there is drought and moving from camp to camp for feeding.... so need to know a lot or have a manager that can do all these tasks.
Well you are all welcome to visit our farm in the western cape, come do some wine tours in the area. Rent a car or book a shuttle with me, I will be your host. I will pop a link. You are welcome
My Aunt was the one farming it even 12 years after her husband passed away from cancer, while she was also running a shop in Postmasburg. We lived in Kirkwood, Eastern Cape and my mom and aunt decided to sell it then because neither my brothers or I intended to take over the farming operation.

Unfortunately for us our families were forced out of their native lands and moved to squatters and ended owning no lands at all...ohh the good ol days don't we all miss them 🤔
@Cardinal Ncube, I believe in justice and fairness and I believe that all human beings are equal in the eyes of GOD. My heart bleeds when I hear people calling the Apartheid period "the good olde days" when the truth is that others were being treated worse than animals whilst others were reaping the benefits and I will say those same people are no different to the current ANC leaders who are ruthless, selfish and greedy.
To protect The people from criminal activities and over population and and and you can lately notice why you had your own little countries called homelands. You even had to show your passports to enter South African cities as you were hired to work in the towns and your houses, schools and hospitals and other infrastructure were built for you T a very low cost for you because you had no previous education about 100 years before you moved closer - to be able to live. Apartheid was then started when your chieves had to look after your infrastructure in your homelands administered by white taxpayers’ moneys. Today’s government has absolutely ruined this country.
The same lady who bought it. Her husband passed away a few years ago and she made the news papers when they had all those wild fires there 3 weeks prior to our visit.
No lions on that farm, but my mother's parents used to have a farm further north on the Botswana border and they often saw and heard lions on that farm.
Me too, i absolutely despise city life. I'm working on buying land such as that one. Not to farm really but maybe as a game farm. I don't want land stolen from someone else though like in Zimbabwe
Farms are now owned by people who doesn't stay on them, opting rather to keep wild animals for their hunting pleasure. I wonder what the fuss is about because no one is allowed on the farms
@@kingsleykester8167 it means that under the regime change the country has been set back decades under ANC rulership as they are as greedy as they are corrupt. Instead of making a positive change for the whole country and the promise of a true rainbow nation, they messed up this country. One would have thought that under black leadership racism would have been non existent, it proved to be the opposite. Now you have blatant racism in the form of BEE , BEEE, EE, EEF and whatever excuse of arcronyms they could think up. Bunch of idiots running this country.
You are the racist one for saying "black system". I guess you are one of those weak things who supported apartheid. Free yourself from the bondage of hate before it consumes you
@@kingsleykester8167 and another thing. the ANC needs to own their mistakes instead of blaming apartheid for 30 years or Jan van Riebeeck. ALL SOE's have failed under their leadership. They were given working infrastructure on a golden platter and SOE's that turned a profit. Not one SOE is today turning a profit ie all are bankrupt.
Them people love degradation... Give them anything. Besides they have no respect or reverence for life... Pull out anything that stands still and shoot anything that moves... Hahaa...

My grandmother was killed in her own farm by Afrikaans and they took her farm. Now the farm is making millions but us we don't even have a meal for the night.
I'm sorry to hear that, try the ANC cadres who stole Eskom, Prassa, SAA, Post Office etc.they are sleeping on millions of dollars under their mattresses and sofa's.
No facts or proof. Where's the farm? When did this happen and what ethnic group? If you don't supply details, nobody will believe you as so many people lie.
I think it is much more likely that your grandmother was killed by the ANC rather than an Afrikaner, it is much more their style. Of course, they would try blaming the Afrikaner but they would be lying as per usual, only a fool would believe that bunch of criminals.
Sad to hear that you don't even have a meal for the night. However, you are very fortunate to still have a cellphone and some data to share your idiocy on UA-cam.

@@mjjaguar8854 The land was stolen period, whites came stole the land enslaved the black people and now they are rubbing it in their faces.

if only the black people can realise theres enough land for all, the country is a country of milk and honey, best weather in the world, if black people only could only experience just one day in Germany winter weather im sure thy would change their mindset, in winter it only light at 9 in morning and by 16 30 its dark again, cold and wet,
@@Palmstreet-u7x Yep milk and honey it was, but due to no long term planning the miilk and honey has been consumed long ago, all that is left is load shedding,run down schooling system,corruption,high umemployment,crime, so accept Germany weather conditions and consider yourself blessed in abundance that you are not exposed to this rundown standard of living
@anthony germany typical white response of deflection and denial you are just angry that Apartheid regime ended.
And you are proud of hunting..shame on you
@@lakhibhangra4 Well we all eat meat, would assume you have never experienced the pleasure of any hunting scenarios, so familiarise youself with abatoirs and go throw your disgust tantrums there
If everyone should grasped this concept that it's temporary and we can have a more peaceful world to enjoy. OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE IT TO THE GRAVE.
Loved Northern Cape. Special memories
I love South African farmers because without them I would starve !!! They are the backbone of South Africa but our government don't seem to care if they are murdered on their farms ??? I hope things will change ! God bless them and keep them SAFE !!!!
I visited South Africa for the first time in 2020, got caught for 5 months in COVIC lock down in Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. I had a blast - what a beautiful landscape of hills and mountains that look like gnarled old men, beaches. The locals were so nice - Dutch Afrikanners were as good looking as Nordic Swedes but friendly, not stuck up. Beautiful infrastructure, malls - lots and lots of honest, hard working young people from neighbor hooding countries like Zimbabwe. The political, crime, electrical "problems", "issues" are obviously very bad but not unexpected. What did you expect offering full "democracy" to a multi racial, multi tribal, multi religious society with tens of millions of illiterate poor people who will of course go for Communist scams to steal from the rich to give to the poor - that happened in Zimbabwe and look what followed - economic, social collapse.
I've followed the small success of Orania - good for them.
But, have SA locals of all races, ethnic groups, tribes, merchants consider a British East Indian Company "The Company" model, this was before India became a formal British colony?
Under this "Corporate" model farm land isn't owned by individual (White) farmers instead it's owned by "the Company" and "the Company" can cut in Black, ANC pols for some share ownership so these lazy folks don't have to work real jobs. There will be very large agribusinesses with (White) farm managers and decently paid, fed farm workers - nobody will starve and there will be basic health care so the farm workers don't contract AIDS or Ebola.
Also the British East India Company "The Company" employed private para military armies to defend the property and people in "The Company". I'm pretty damn sure lots of Zulu warriors in Natal would really enjoy being trained as Gurkha type paramilitary soldiers with the best British and Dutch officers. The Zulus are a warrior tribe, not really suited as full time farmers or merchants - leave that to the Asians.
And folks, lots stop just spreading doom, gloom and despair. British and Dutch South Africans are a tough people - the British Empire put Dutch Afrkianners in concentration camps during the Boer war, OK, so it's not like you people haven't ever had it tough.
God bless all the good people of all races and tribes, ethnic groups in beautiful South Africa - please privatize your electricity, rail and airplane services ASAP.
South Africa is slowly being surpassed by Kenya as the most developed and well managed country in Africa. If care is not taken, south Africa will continue to deteriorate. When black s. Africans took over from white power, they came in with psychological scars. Those are not scars that heal overnight and white s. Africans must come to terms with this FACT. The cry about corruption is a lame excuse because corruption is everywhere including the US and most of Europe. There's corruption also in Kenya but Kenya has been able to thrive and move forward regardless. The problem with SA is that white s. Africans expect black s. Africans to magically turn things around overnight. I'm sorry to tell you the truth but do not even expect things to turn around in 20 or 50 years if black and white cannot work together and keep tabs on each other.
The reason why Kenya is surpassing SA is this: The white people that remained in Kenya did not flee the country or continue to oppress the Africans. The white people that chose to remain after independence kept a distance and many of them continued to run businesses in tourism, hospitality and agriculture behind the scenes. Over the years their children became first generation Kenyans and to this day, many of them still live in Kenya and many are mistaken to be tourists. With SA, the white people chose to flee the country thinking that Europe was the best place for them but thirty years later they are now crying because they miss home. I'm a black Kenyan that has lived in Africa, Europe, the US and Australia and I can tell you for a fact the there is no place on this earth that compares to Africa. Africa has many sons and daughters OF OTHER RACES and most of us Africans have come to terms with that fact. Whether you are white, Arab or Indian and your original home was in Africa YOU ARE AN AFRICAN. It's never too late to return. Just come back home and live peacefully. You can thrive in the background regardless of corruption.
"hard honest working Zimbabweans" and the Dutch being boers? Don't know who told you any of this but it's clear you were in woke Cape Town go look at our news and see who's highjacked our cities it's Africa our so called "neighbours"... you must be a communist, it's why you enjoy Cape Town
Lmao so you asking us to vote for the EFF but with a clause requiring a predominately White farm manage structure ?
Pragtige video. Pragtige wereld! So bang gewees dat dit een van daai " kyk hoe is die plek opgef&k" videos gaan wees. Dankie!
So sad my Heart wants to brake for all our Farmers it such a Beautiful Farm
It's a nice video.
Thanks Reuber!
I live in town and yesterday a porcupine attacked my dogs again. So you dont need a farm. Come and experience wildlife in my yard. We have been attacked by a baboon, visited by an animal Ive never seen before. Then ducks, frogs, rats, cats, dogs and hedgehogs. And dont forget a cow that also walked about once.
I was reading such beautiful comments until I read a response from @anthony Germany in which he stated that South Africa was a land of milk and honey before 1994, please can you elaborate on that one coz I'm completely lost.
Well we have had a bunch of thieving criminals in the government systematically destroying this country. They also hate white people, why else would you have AA / BE discriminatory employment laws in SA? Too old to emigrate but I wish I had.

What kind of grazing management do they have there?
Farm is divided in camps and you switch the cattle from camp to camp....depending on the conditions
@@truth-Hurts375 ok interesting, thanks for your reply. I just bought a farm in SA and we are looking into grazing management.
They don't
@@denisepetch6459 they don’t have grazing management?
The farm had a field fire 3 weeks earlier that burned 90% of the vegetation. That's why the grasses are so short and green.
And where are you staying now after selling the farm?
The farm belonged to my mom and aunt and they sold it while we lived in Kirkwood, Eastern Cape. the farm was actually not big enough to make a good living off it as a sole income.
@hermiesmit1 Wow! Not big enough to make a living? I thought a 4,2km by 4,2km (4500 acres) was huge. I don't know anything about farming, lol.
Jip!! Like the movie - "I had a Farm in Africa". 🤔🤔
Yes You had it good in the Aparthied days. This land never belonged to you. Stolen land by the Apartheid regime, Land without compensation is the order of the day. 🎉🎉
Baie lekker herinniringe
Story of Africa, hard working farmers evicted and land left to ruin
Hi Hermie & other knowledgeable farmers. How old is too old to start farming? My sister-in -law has just retired & wants to start farming on her ancestral land in Alcocspriut (KZN). The whole family thinks she's nuts. I'm the only one who's encouraging her. Please respond.
it is a hard live long hours and no bed of roses, KZN is not what it used to be. I suggest a visit and talking to farmers will cure her nostalgia.
@@ludwigchurr7744 Thank you for getting back. She thought rearing goats & layers wouldn't be that back breaking
She can farm must just get a Consultant to talk to and make decisions - Peter Milton - MILDEX Consulting
@@nomagcisacawe3297 Goats will be ok. just have to watch out for predators 2 and 4 legged ones. Not sure what you mean by layers?.. Mending fences can be done by farm workers, Then there is milking, shearing loading transporting goats and getting the vet for treatments. So she will need to know how to care for goats. And when there is drought and moving from camp to camp for feeding.... so need to know a lot or have a manager that can do all these tasks.
@@ludwigchurr7744 Thanks for response. "Layers" are hens that lay eggs (preferably in cages).
I want to hear Afrikaans spoken with that American-Boer accent...
Where did you get the farm?
My great-grandfather bought it and then my mom and her sister sold it eventually.
Imagine the indigenous people of the land who were brutally removed by riffles, ak47s and canons
When was that?
Well you are all welcome to visit our farm in the western cape, come do some wine tours in the area. Rent a car or book a shuttle with me, I will be your host. I will pop a link. You are welcome

I don't see Mazalas comment. Did he delete it ?
4,500 acres holy, I think my entire town is smaller than that
They were able to manage it with love we blacks are destroying everything 😢
It's painful guys to see where you grew, I wish you can buy the farm back, and raise your grandchildren here, that would be very fun
Why did you get rid of the farm?
My Aunt was the one farming it even 12 years after her husband passed away from cancer, while she was also running a shop in Postmasburg. We lived in Kirkwood, Eastern Cape and my mom and aunt decided to sell it then because neither my brothers or I intended to take over the farming operation.
This guy posted a video about his childhood farm but certain ppl have decided to make it about race as always. Grow up ppl
Yes, I really don't understand why, but it is a reflection of what is in their hearts.
Thank you, we'll said.
Please a small portion of your farm please, I’m 24 and I would like to grew my own food and livestock. I’m in South Africa aswell
then get black people to stop voting ANC, lol ,,,,, while ANC is in power country is being run to the dogs, if black people can only realise its a land of milk and honey

Going forward and not backwards.. .
Can tell nearly the same tale.
Unfortunately for us our families were forced out of their native lands and moved to squatters and ended owning no lands at all...ohh the good ol days don't we all miss them 🤔
@Cardinal Ncube, I believe in justice and fairness and I believe that all human beings are equal in the eyes of GOD. My heart bleeds when I hear people calling the Apartheid period "the good olde days" when the truth is that others were being treated worse than animals whilst others were reaping the benefits and I will say those same people are no different to the current ANC leaders who are ruthless, selfish and greedy.
The land was protected from turning into slums.
To protect The people from criminal activities and over population and and and you can lately notice why you had your own little countries called homelands. You even had to show your passports to enter South African cities as you were hired to work in the towns and your houses, schools and hospitals and other infrastructure were built for you T a very low cost for you because you had no previous education about 100 years before you moved closer - to be able to live. Apartheid was then started when your chieves had to look after your
infrastructure in your homelands administered by white taxpayers’ moneys. Today’s government has absolutely ruined this country.
@@anitasamuels8821 Amen! Well said and the truth!
Something the people here will never understand is the highest crime rate in the world. Your lucky to be here
It's surprising to see that warthog has not be eaten by the hungry natives.
How did u get this farm ?was it during apartheid?who was there before your parents forcefully get the farm ?
Who is running this farm now.
The same lady who bought it. Her husband passed away a few years ago and she made the news papers when they had all those wild fires there 3 weeks prior to our visit.
Did you ever see any lions or big cats?
No lions or leopards in that area....
@@truth-Hurts375 hell yeah man....im married to one ....joking...yes plenty
No lions on that farm, but my mother's parents used to have a farm further north on the Botswana border and they often saw and heard lions on that farm.
Leapord lives in veld near my house.
Wonder altyd hoekom ek nie op n plaas opgeindig het nie . Ek is in die stad en haat die stad.
Ditto
Ek hoor jy!
Me too, i absolutely despise city life. I'm working on buying land such as that one. Not to farm really but maybe as a game farm. I don't want land stolen from someone else though like in Zimbabwe
Farms are now owned by people who doesn't stay on them, opting rather to keep wild animals for their hunting pleasure. I wonder what the fuss is about because no one is allowed on the farms
Nou onder swart beleid is die land in sy moer.
Meaning what
@@kingsleykester8167 it means that under the regime change the country has been set back decades under ANC rulership as they are as greedy as they are corrupt. Instead of making a positive change for the whole country and the promise of a true rainbow nation, they messed up this country. One would have thought that under black leadership racism would have been non existent, it proved to be the opposite. Now you have blatant racism in the form of BEE , BEEE, EE, EEF and whatever excuse of arcronyms they could think up.
Bunch of idiots running this country.
You are the racist one for saying "black system". I guess you are one of those weak things who supported apartheid. Free yourself from the bondage of hate before it consumes you
@@kingsleykester8167 its facts. Not racism. You can debate it all day long.
@@kingsleykester8167 and another thing. the ANC needs to own their mistakes instead of blaming apartheid for 30 years or Jan van Riebeeck. ALL SOE's have failed under their leadership. They were given working infrastructure on a golden platter and SOE's that turned a profit. Not one SOE is today turning a profit ie all are bankrupt.

Did you put in a land claim or are you like many black south Africans who claimed to own. Land they never owned?
My grandmother was killed in her own farm by Afrikaans and they took her farm. Now the farm is making millions but us we don't even have a meal for the night.
Why don't the eff help you with food??
I'm sorry to hear that, try the ANC cadres who stole Eskom, Prassa, SAA, Post Office etc.they are sleeping on millions of dollars under their mattresses and sofa's.
No facts or proof. Where's the farm? When did this happen and what ethnic group? If you don't supply details, nobody will believe you as so many people lie.
I think it is much more likely that your grandmother was killed by the ANC rather than an Afrikaner, it is much more their style. Of course, they would try blaming the Afrikaner but they would be lying as per usual, only a fool would believe that bunch of criminals.
Sad to hear that you don't even have a meal for the night. However, you are very fortunate to still have a cellphone and some data to share your idiocy on UA-cam.
