Security on Zimbabwe's White-Owned Farms Deteriorates

More than half of Zimbabwe's remaining productive white farmers are under ever increasing pressure to abandon their homes and businesses. Peta Thornycroft reports on an ongoing episode on a white-owned farm, which has shocked the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Friedawall farm near Chinhoyi, about 100 kilometers north of Harare is the scene of intense and ongoing cruelty to animals on the property according to neighbors and workers who have fled the farm. The farm has large cattle and pig sections.

The farm is one of more than 70 protected by an interim order from the regional court of last resort, the Southern African Development Community tribunal in Namibia. Zimbabwe is a signatory to the SADC treaty which established the tribunal for citizens of member states who claim to have exhausted all domestic remedies.

Despite the interim order, employees of Edwin Mashiringwani, a deputy governor of Zimbabwe's reserve bank, took it over more than a week ago.

Louis Fick, who owns the animals, says his workers have been chased away. He said Mashiringwani's employees have refused to feed more than 4,000 pigs, 15,000 crocodiles and several hundred beef cattle for the past week.

"Mashiringwani's employees have refused to feed more than 4,000 pigs, 15,000 crocodiles and several hundred beef cattle for the past week."

Short term solution would seem to favor the crocodiles.

My guess is that there are a few less pigs and cattle there.

Half of the remaining white farmers? That means all three of them.

What's happening in Zimbabwe is an example of what could happen in America with unconstrained immigration. Uneducated, unskilled people believe that if they seize property from "rich" people, their lives will be wonderful.

Imagine their surprise when they realize that they have no idea how to manage and properly exploit the property.

"Uneducated, unskilled people believe that if they seize property from "rich" people, their lives will be wonderful."

What about our own Harvard & Yale educated, unskilled (read politicians, professors & editors) people who insist "that if they seize property from "rich" people, their lives will be wonderful."

I’m sure the world will rise to halt the black racist ethnic cleansing of whites from Zimbabwe...

No?

Then don’t even ask me for a dime or a tear for the starving, sick, thirsty, diseased, waring, butchering of Africans — ever again....

Evolution should be allowed to follow its natural course...

Home rule is what the Left and Africa wanted..they have it.
An end to colonial rule was pursued and accomplished..
All semblance of western civilization and law are being torn asunder....

The outcome is clearly predictable....

I said the same thing about Mexifornia a month ago and a couple of freepers went nuts tellin’ me I was a surrender monkey for merely pointing out how the infrastructure would collapse like the barbarians let Romes.

Anybody who didn’t get out of there thirty years ago was crazy, or just a dreamer.

If the government allows them to. They might do it legally and have to wait several years while an illegal gets the red carpet.
