    I agree. Pray for the injustice against the poor. I was with Angus when we got together in Durban Rugby Stadium some 20 or more years ago. That prayer group starting with the 200 strong group on Angus's farm, grew to 40k a few years later.

    the decline is notably.
    we just got back from Zim its a very sad place you can see it great before you see the Huge succulants that farmers normally plant at there gates and around there houses you see it as you drive the soil arrat soil no soil management. people is just wanting to grab your cash there is no cash took me 2 days to get cash food is expensive just sad we had a route mapped out i could not handle the robbing army stops " toll gates" 15$ for a baked potato.
    you can feel vibes there whites is very clicky.......
    there is defnitly the haves you see eating 2 hour long lunches duscussing there looting bussines and the villiges were people suffering uneducated scoffeling through dust to get gold to refine to buy food for the day no electricty mozzies eating you alive
    the people is not good as long as the land is soaked with the blood they have shed if the people do not repent come to God.
    Army is still in controll nothing has changed if you go there
    you feel the undercurrent there racisim indiffrence.
    nothing can go on.
    needles to say we left we did not have a good time evrywhere you see evil.
    old homes now run by the new "owners" huanted by the past of what was and now present all crooked stollen i cannot stomich it.

I hope we can register something similar with Trumpy via agriforum who have already done great work in this area. Mashvita Shamwari Ben. Alex always great as usual.

    ANC doctrine and strategy, and they have told us this many times, is to advance the revolution incrementally. Advance until you hit resistance and then pause and regather, and then advance again. This Expropriation Act is just a step in that direction. It establishes the principle of state discretion over property. And from here future governments simply advance the limitations.

    Quick question. Isn't it the same way he feels about the land being stolen from him is the same way the people of Africa feel about the land being stolen from them as well. Which is the reason why all of this is happening right now.

    This story is incredible and it highlights the capacity to endure.
    Making comparisons between Zimbabwe and South Africa is ridiculous...
    One of the big differences relates to the demographic and diversity of SA which is very different to that of Zimbabwe.
    In 2000, Agriculture was the biggest industry and generated the bulk of the foreign income. South Africa has a significant more robust and diverse with more significant global importance.
    Lastly, the constitution of Zimbabwe did not and still does not provide protection as the constitution has not been adjusted.
    As a person that was born in Zimbabwe and currently farm in South Africa I find the lies and fear-mongering that gets used to support false narratives.

Not only will South Africa be run by a Christian government, but Zimbabwe and all other countries bordering South Africa will become part of one nation.

    This chap lost me at praying like Angus Buchan. The trouble with Alec Hogg is that he loves interviewing but never really reads or studies the subjects he discusses much. Read the very recent and intelligent book ‘A Country of 2 Agricultures’ before making sweeping comments. This situation is highly complex and unique and we don’t need people who can’t be bothered to do research before commenting on such a crucial issue and simply follow Biz News click bait.
