(Nelson Mandela: His party made promises to redistribute white-owned farmland to black people) Hmmmm Remind you of anyone whose wife just vacationed in South Africa? Pigford much?
To: SanFranDan
Sucker move!!
Government confiscates land from Whites.
Government redistributes said land to Blacks.
Blacks sell lands back to original White owners!
repeat ad nauseum

But, is the land now ruined? I have a friend who grew up in Zimbadwe (Southern Rhodesia) which once was the bread basket of Africa. nce the land has been turned over to inexperienced owners, it grows up in brush and is no longer suitable for farming. It’s going to take a lot of pioneering to turn it back into farmland.
To: SanFranDan
Well that didn’t work! Next step will be to go all Zimbabwe on those white bastids.

Government has nothing to “give” unless it first steals it from the citizenry.
Were the white farmers paid true market value by the government, for the land THEY improved and made productive?

When the Dutch settled SA there were no blacks there, just some bushmen.
When Shaka began his Zulu expansion in the north, blacks then began to flood SA.
So, who originally settled SA?

In the US, on a smaller scale, we call this “food stamp churning:.

“given to them by the government”
That was taken from white farmers by force! I hope South Africa STARVES!

I'd say this is a case of the free market correcting a government mistake.
If you don't know how to run a farm, or don't have the resources to do so, then why not sell the land to someone who does (and optionally ask for employment as a condition of the sale).
It works.

Happens here all the time, though not as blatantly.
Government steals capital from productive people and “gives” it to non-productive people. Liberals get to feel good about themselves for “caring”.
Non-productive people blow the wealth on consumables and depreciating assets.
Productive class gains [back] wealth by providing consumables & depreciating assets while buying appreciating assets.
Assets confiscated by government, repeat ad nauseum.

Didn’t this occur here in America after the Civil War. Blacks were given Hilton Head Island, SC as reparations for slavery. The blacks ended up selling the island back to white developers.

Especially on a continent that has never had civilization, thus has no basis of how things work!
