It is hard to feel sorry for this guy... most whiteys in Zimbabwe saw the writing on the wall and packed up long ago. It just isn’t worth it when dealing with a country run by thugs.

So, the people of Zimbabwe will starve.

Stupid is as stupid does.

I feel for him even though the writing was on the wall. People love their homes and what they’ve worked for. Some would rather die defending it than leave. Makes me think because some day that could be me.

I feel sorry for him, but he’s crazy to stay. Liquidate as much of his property as possible and get out.

It’s the same thing that happened in Haiti in 1808. Kick out/kill the Whites, burn the barn, destroy the equipment, and then what? Sit and sit some more. It’s Africa, that’s the way it is.

Return Zimbabwe to the jungle the people deserve. Let them compete with the monkeys for the bananas and coconuts!

When is Hollywood going to start wearing ribbons for all the whites who have been victimized in Zimbabwe?

Take a look at your grand children’s future.

I wonder if you’ll feel sorry for them?

Rhodesia used to be the bread basket of sub-Saharan Africa, feeding the whole continent with its exports. As Zimbabwe, the country has plummeted to nothing more than a cesspool, with starvation and disease commonplace.

The white, European producers have been murdered or chased out, their lands confiscated and “redistributed”, and now the whole country suffers.

A monumental travesty, exceeded only by the western world’s blind eye to this ongoing horror. Not PC, you understand. Good thing we got rid of those white Africans...

“It is hard to feel sorry for this guy... “

Really? You find it hard to feel sorry for someone who is illegally kicked out of their home, a place they have lived for generations?

I find it easy to feel sorry for him, his wife, their kids, and the nation that will find it even harder to survive. The only people I don’t feel sorry for are the gangsters running that county in to the ground and the international community that supports them.

I'm certainly not saying that what Mugabe is doing is right, but Mugabe has been engaging in an anti-whitey pogrom for many years now. I don't understand how anyone can think that they can "work with" someone who wants them dead. If you're not going to violently fight these thugs, what else can you do (if you want to live)?

BUMP what you said.
I can’t work up any sympathy at this point.

If you read the article, you'll see that he tried to "work with" the regime that wants him and his family dead. He also takes a rather interesting view on whiteys who live in Africa (he believes they are "guests").

Really. I agree. I guess instead of working it as long as possible in hope of changing times some folks think they should just tuck-tail and run away post-haste. It’s not easy for penniless white middle-aged Africans to start over somewhere else.

Agree. The deck is stacked against White farmers. They need to leave the country if possible.

Many of the farmers were 4th and 5th generation farmers. Where do they go? At least they tried to keep things going. I, for one, am not gonna split my sides laughing about them. The pleasure to laugh at the victims of Robert Mugabe will have to fall to another.
