  • The government of Zimbabwe expelled thousands of white farmers from their country. Right or not?
    Zimbabwe is bursting with fertile soil and has an excellent climate for agriculture. Until about fifteen years ago only a few thousand white farmers benefited, because they had almost all the farm land in their possession. Now the situation is completely different. You will hardly find white farmers anymore. Most of the farms are divided into smaller units, where black Zimbabweans are allowed to grow their crops.
    For example, the young brothers Solomon and Tony. They grow tobacco, and hope to earn so much that they can afford a pick-up truck and later a good education for their children. The plants are flourishing, but the drying of the tobacco is not yet smooth sailing. They have never learned that.
    They are doing better than most new land owners in Zimbabwe. A lot of land is unused or hardly yields due to incompetence. With the white farmers also the knowledge of agriculture from the Zimbabwean countryside has disappeared.
    Bram visits a white family, who now lives in a house in the city, with a garden full of rusting agricultural machinery. The years before the departure of their farm were terrible, tell the ex-farmer and his wife. Livestock was slaughtered, the dogs poisoned, groups of men came to the fence to claim the land. A friend was murdered and with their own (black) foreman it also went bad. Other staff have fled with them and still work for the family.
    The ex-farmer finds it difficult to digest that he has lost his land. And if it had to be given to black Zimbabweans, then why not to the staff that already worked there? "At least those people know how to run a farm." But then, whoever worked for a white farmer was on the wrong side.
    The expulsion of white farmers was not only the work of groups of armed men. The Zimbabwean state carried out a deliberate campaign to expropriate the country and give it to veterans who had fought in the war of independence. To give back, in the vision of many Zimbabweans, because during the colonization was it not taken from their ancestors?
    The judge of the tobacco cooperative finds it right that the government intervenes, he says. "This land reform was necessary." He is less enthusiastic about the implementation: "The country was given to people who do not have the slightest idea of ​​how teams work. But they did want to own land. See how it is now. Here only grass grows. Sooner or later we will no longer have corn. We were the breadbasket of the region. But that is empty now. "
    Episode 4. The right of Mugabe
    The government of Zimbabwe evicted thousands of white farmers from their land. Were they right to do so or not?

    Sad story all around for Zimbabwe. I don’t see racial integration at all, it’s about settling scores and perpetuating the issue with shoe now on the other foot. No wonder the country has failed itself. India brought into effect a land reform act of 1955, after independence from British rule, to solve similar issues, its clear headed and just and the thought process involved was not to carry the baggage of the past into the future. Some Zimbabweans might like to look it up. Indian for many years is a surplus food and grain producer and exporter despite being the second most populated nation in the world.

  • @jlhabitan50
    @jlhabitan50 6 років тому +49

    From what I've read about the land reform years in Zimbabwe, there was never a transition period to which would have allowed a smoother and bloodless distribution of land, considering how agriculture was one of the country's greatest economic strengths. If there are large-scale farms that employ hundreds of workers who do work on the land among other things, a sudden land seizure would render all of those people without a livelihood, especially if those properties weren't actually being utilized for production.
    Is it true that many farms were not given to actual black farmers but instead given to cronies and corrupt officials?

      Yes, that is true. Everybody forgets president Abel Muzerewa. He was elected in 1979. But the communists (USSR and China) who were supplying the weapons, didn't want a moderate leader and the UN neither so the worldwide sanctions were not lifted.

      If you look at Botswana for example, there are a lot of small scale arable farmers who can produce enough sorghum and maize annually if rains are good. They are supplemented by commercial farmers who don't own much land like in South Africa and like was in Zimbabwe. Its morally wrong how the land was taken away from us as Africans to be a white man's slave even here at home. So its great that our people are trying with the little they have. They will grow from that.

    @skelm4978 5 років тому +49

    In the Tribal Trust Lands and the Purchased Lands, there were African farmers. Given advice by the Ministry of Agriculture. This was over 50% of the land available. This was under the UDI. Rhodesia official was independent in 1923 when the British didn't want this land as a colony. They were almost a Dominion like Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Own government and the head was the Queen of England. Nobody stole the land. In 1890 there were only 400.000 in a country that was not a country before. The size was 10 x of the Netherlands. Before 2000 over 2000 farms were sold. The commercial farmers had 20% of the land. Tobacco grows on sandy soil and not on heavy clay soil. In nature, there is no bad or good land, to make into a farm, it is hard work.
    There were no farms, every farm has to be developed so how can they say that they want their land back? In the area of Wedza over 180 farms are gone and there is no production at all. A farmer can move and take his knowledge with him. The war vets didn't win the war. The Rhodesian army (70% were Africans) never lost one battle. They lost the war in London. Further what about the Ndebeles? In 1982 Mugabe's private army, the Fifth Brigade, left for Matabeleland and murdered over 20.000 citizens, wiped out villages. So Bram and VPRO, please go to Matabeleland and make a documentary about this crime.

    There is no right way to describe this. In as much as my sympathy is limitless. The biggest question to answer though! should we punish the whites for the sins of their fathers? But one may say over 400 years of oppression is a pain that can remain for a long time. How does it feel when the oppressor is in the shoes of the oppressed? One aspect of the land reform act I personally hate is the violence and lost of lives. I feel that was not necessary. My condolence to the families of those who lost their love ones. I hope the whites find solace in other ventures because life goes on no matter what.

    I don't believe this portrays the true situation of Zimbabwe. To say that farmers owned all the land in
    Zimbabwe is not true. What the people of Zimbabwe have been put through was inhuman and a very small elite owned everything after independence. Before independence Zim was a capitalist country. People looked after each other and no one ever starved. It's tragic really. The farmers thrown off their land had worked the land for hundreds of years. A disgrace really. Corruption was rife. But no word on that.

      WHO TOLD YOU THAT!? I would have to disagree with you. Just because someone stole something from you a long time ago doesn’t mean it belongs to the theives. Just because their descendants invested in what was stolen it still doesn’t belongs to the theif. If the colonial went about it the right then I would understand. Right is right and wrong is wrong and what the colonials did was wrong.

      If that happens then whites would have to go back to Europe and blacks back to Africa. Only native American indians would stay like Apaches, Comanches, Navajos, Choctaw, Hopi, Pueblo etc etc only the true American indians. If that happens there won't be blacks or whites living in North America at all

    so fellows, do you really believe or want to believ the Rhodesian war of independence was just about a vote? fight for so many years just too make an X on a paper every 5 years? nope, it was really about land, that was actually occupied. but who gave the europeans that right to go around the continent and occupy land, regardless of whether it was unoccupied or not? That really cant be. Fact is, they came with their guns. if it wasnt for the gun, how else would they have occupied all the land? lets not make it like people were starving before europeans came to africa, nobody was starving. and when europeans came, people still ate. then when we want a piece of what was taken, there is some starvation. yes. but it will get better with time.

Fact is, who asked you to drag us 5000 years forward? look at China, they have never been colonised by your type, they did everything for themselves and they are doing fine. So even blacks would have done it without you. it will take us another 300 years to undo what you did. deny it all you want. this magical and myth whatever is a worldwide thing, its not limited to africa or blacks. face it, colonisation had nothing to do with helping anybody, it was about self enrichment and greed. the shit you are saying about blacks being less intelligent, its perpetuated by whites obviously, and its not a fact. if there is a myth, thats the myth. Colonialism was about greed, need for power, need to control. there is nothing wrong with being a hunter gatherer too. it's in your head. can you tell me what was wrong with Africa before you dragged us forward? so why not come and help us, as equal partners than try and rule us, disadvantage us, oppress us, confiscate what was ours, dispossess us? It cant be. so you should enslave me because you rare helping me? This thing of white supremacy is wrong. Thinking you are better than others, you are not, you are simply richer, that i agree, because of black blood sweat and tears. you are simply scared of equality, thats the problem. you want to remain superior, but you are superior in your head. in the world, you are not. and we will take back whats ours and do whatever we want with it. if its not european its not correct? thats repulsive and you know it.

    The war was about land, everbody knows this and it is a fact. In 1980 everybody knew that land had to be and would eventually be redistributed, this too is fact, the Africans won that land fair and square on the battle ground so there would be no going back, this too is fact.
    It is obvious to every government that modern nations with ever increasing populations require well trained and skilled farmers, also required is machinery and also industry like fertiliser, cooling facilities etc for the smooth functioning of successful farming.
    These are all obvious facts. The government of Zimbabwe failed to train and pepare future farmers. They had 20 years to do so. I am not disputing the concept of redistribution because it is justice served, however, the current government are incredible failers and losers. They prepared absolutely nothing during the twenty years from independance and I repeat nothing.
    Why exactly do Zanu blame whites for their problems when the government had adequate opportunity to plan and implement a smooth transition and subsequantly successful farming ventures in form of their people and machinery they prepared.
    Zanu are hopless planners to be honest and are a bunch of cry babies blaming sanctions.
    Zanu are anti black excellence. Look at how they treated their best and most brilliant black minds, why were they forced out of the country and why is it that they do not return to the country? Go to any english speaking country or to neighbouring countries and see the brighest and most brilliant individuals Zimbabwe was blessed with building not their home nation but foreign nations.
    There is no way these farmers will succeed, how under a government that fails to plan and implement successfuly? This is a sad fact, Zimbabwe will continue to sink to levels of foolishness, no watrer, no electricity, no food. The place is a joke where feaces and trash are pilling up on urban streets.
