'Arrogant Namibian farmers, you're next'

August 27 2002 at 01:29PM

Windhoek - Namibian President Sam Nujoma has warned "arrogant white farmers" that they had better comply with the southwest African nation's land distribution programme, The Namibian newspaper reported on Tuesday.

It said Nujoma made the warning this week at a congress of his ruling Southwest Africa People's Organisation (Swapo), at which he said the government already planned to take over 192 farms owned by white foreigners who do not use the land.

"The landless majority of our citizens are growing impatient by the day," Nujoma was quoted as saying. "If those arrogant white farmers and absentee landlords do not embrace the governments policy of willing-buyer, willing-seller now, it will be too late tomorrow."

The law in Namibia states that government may expropriate under-utilised commercial farms, with due compensation.

'The landless majority of our citizens are growing impatient by the day' Swapo officials noted in a resolution taken at the congress, which ended on Sunday, that the party "was concerned at the slow pace of land distribution, which has the potential to cause civil strife".

Nujoma said it was decided that the 192 farms - whose vast tracts of land make them collectively roughly four times the size of the European nation of Luxembourg - "should be expropriated within the framework of the law".

"I am particularly happy that this congress has passed a resolution directing government to urgently expropriate the farms. This must be done now, now and now," he said.

The more controversial farm seizures in Zimbabwe have raised concern among farmers in other parts of southern Africa that governments will become more radical about land reform and at the same time raised expectations among the countries' landless black majorities. - Sapa-AFP

Another African country heads down the slippery slope towards pre-industrial barbarism.....

And so the insanity spreads.

Today's weather forecast calls for a severe drought in Namibi that will prevent crops from being harvested and forment a large famine.

This is the same weather phenomenon that plagues Zimbabwe, and in the past has also wreaked havok on Mao's Red China and Stalin's Soviet Union. Weather experts are puzzled by this drought's uncanny ability to affect only communist countries.

I love liberals. You say "Africa for Africans" to them and they'll smile and agree. Then you say "And Europe for Europeans" and they call you a Nazi.

There is really nothing as entertaining as watching a liberal in the throes of doublethink, and seeing how they never, ever realize it. Then, when you call them on it, they don't want to talk to you or be your friend any longer. Funny how that works.

Regardless, there is no future for white people on the African continent. Any who remain there are doomed, and the rest of the world, firmly clamped in the steel jaws of "Political Correctness", will stand by and do nothing. So far they haven't even done a convincing job of hand wringing.

Yeah, they need to speed up the black takeover of white farms in that part of the world, so they can move forward with their regularly scheduled famines and plagues.

It would be entertaining if they weren't determined to drag us all down to their socialist paradise with them.

Civilizations always come and go usually as a result of conquest. Isn't it odd how today's first world culture's are willingly submitting for the sake of political correctness? It truly baffles me in context with historical precedent.

When did Namibia join the first world?

[qwert]

Let me see if I understand what is happening in Africa:

White people whine and feel guilty about how they treat blacks, even thought they feed them, give them a job, educate there children etc.. White people volntary hand over the goverenment to the black people and in a matter of time black people kick the whites off the land, rape and murder there women etc, and then fall into poverty.

Where are all the black people that should be feeling guilty ? or did they know in the beginning that most white people are chumps and fools....

Where are the white freedom gorilla movements fighting for there property and freedom like the blacks did ?

Bunch a white wimps.. I rather be dead than live 1 day as a slave in my own country !!!

Comming soon to a country near you !!!

WAKE UP PEOPLE !! WAKE UP !!

Just my thoughts

I love liberals. You say "Africa for Africans" to them and they'll smile and agree. Then you say "And Europe for Europeans" and they call you a Nazi.

Or "America for Americans"... If we try and deport foreigners who are here illegaly, we are Nazi's..

Hell, we're the bad guys even if we try and deport illegal muslims who freely admit that they would like to see the US attacked.

[wardaddy]

I consider the white colonials first world.

[Redbob]

Namibia, you too can join Zimbabwe in the ranks of the famine-struck, once you run off hte productive members of your society!
(If I farmed there, I think I'd be invested in some McMillan firearms...)

If famine strikes any of these African nations that uproot their agricultural economies, the US should have the courage (it won't) to give no aid. Its one thing to help out a country that is struck by a flood, but no goverment should be rewarded with millions of dollars for economic suicide. This just might be a scheme by African dictators to start a famine, and get rich off foreign aid while the peasants continue to starve.
