South Africa criticises Australian plan to fast-track white farmer visas
The Guardian ^ | 3/14/3018 | Simon Allison

South Africa has criticized Australian home affairs minister Peter Dutton’s offer to fast-track the visas of its white African farmers, saying his comments on the supposed threat to their lives and land were “sad” and “regrettable”.

A spokesperson for international relations minister Lindiwe Sisulu, said: “There is no need to fear … we want to say to the world that we are engaged in a process of land redistribution which is very important to address the imbalances of the past. But it is going to be done legally, and with due consideration of the economic impact and impact on individuals.”

“Any attacks on these white families should be met with military force from Australian and US forces.”

Constructive Engagement worked to bring about reform in South Africa in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and the same such American led policies will work again to stop this policy of seizing farmland.

>>Redistibution or Retribution?<<

“redistribution” of anything — land, money, services — is governmentspeke for theft/confiscation and giving to cronies.

Would you care to explain just HOW the Afrikaners are to leave without any VISA and very little money?

It's great that Australia is talking about taking in the farmers; however, there are plenty of non-farmer Afrikaners, whose properties and lives are also on the line.

They steal land from White farmers and then whine when White farmers get off the forsaken continent.

Fast track the young folks by enlisting them in the military. 2 years. Train them in American culture and let them know why our country needs them. Then send them to their new farms in the purple states. Could California handle a million of them? Might not be enough so build the wall and deport.

Hey - 0gumbo brought in hundreds of thousands from Africa. Trump can continue the “great humanitarian” outreach and extend that outreach to a group threatened with genocide.

If it makes a difference in the life of one child, it will be worth it. That’s just what a great humanitarian does, right?

Because those farmers won’t have any need for their land once they are tortured and killed, so what’s the big deal?

“Sanctions for racist communist South Africa.”

Sanctions did not work before with South Africa.

Bring more of us here. We love God, family, country, guns, outdoor life, braai (grilling), beer, bakkies (pickups) and our women are downright hot. We fit in very well in Texas. Our dogs will kick your dogs ass but only if your dog is dumb enough to mess with ours. Otherwise it is a sweety.

A ridgeback will take on a pack of rots or pits and there will be one dog left standing. (AKA Lion Dog)

AND - one particularly radical branch of the ruling government party (the ANC) has an official anthem that goes “kill the boers”

No bias there.....

South Africa’s no more than 10 years behind Zimbabwe.

Bringing in South Africans who lived under apartheid would really push buttons on the loony left. Just think of what Jesse Jackson would have to say.

Afrikaners DO study American history, read, write, and speak English, and their culture is actually VERY similar to ours. The ex-pats fit in so well, here, that IF they didn't have accents, you'd think that they ARE American born & bred!

There IS an Afrikaner group in California; however a LOT of them have left/are leaving ( going to Texas ), because Cali stinks on ice.

Ah, yes, “land reform” - social justice predicated under the illusion that farmland is disproportionately owned by farmers, addressed by ensuring that it is stolen by the state and given to non-farmers. What could possibly go wrong?

They could grant them refugee status if they can't get visas. I really wonder whether a hostile government who wants to just take peoples' property away from them would grant them visas. And the non-farmer Afrikaners surely have some marketable skills as well to ease their absorption into a civilized society.

Bombing the living bat snot out of the savages will stop it, too.

Yes, there are. Prayers up again, for relatives at risk.
