If you have not been following events in South Africa it is not surprise. No one seems to be covering it. Recently the parliament of South Africa passed a bill that allowed the government to confiscate the farms of white citizens without compensation. I wrote about this before. Keep in mind that the agreement between the previous white controlled government and the new black controlled government contained constitutional guarantees that this would not happen. The South African farmers had seen what happened in Zimbabwe and did not want a reprise.
Unfortunately promises are made to be broken and if you are in a country that feels the government gives you the right to property, the government can take away your right to property. Australia is looking to be of assistance. Some of South Africa’s white farmers can see the writing on the wall and are looking to get out while they are still alive. Australia is looking for ways to help them according to the article in The South African.
It seems like a workable solution before the remaining farmers are slaughtered or evicted. From the article it could be assumed that Australia could use more farmers.
Let’s hope this is a win for everyone. Black South Africa has already decided that it wants to follow the route that Zimbabwe pursued, crop failure and famine. If I lived in South Africa I would be getting out as soon as possible with as much as possible.

I'll be termed a racist for pointing out that most such folks want something for nothing all over the world.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that when God chose the ten most important rules of life he included something about coveting but nothing about racism.
