    Property Expropriation: South Africa to Follow Mugabe Model

    This is a terrifying development but, to be honest, one you could see coming from a mile away.

    God help the white farmers and property owners of South Africa.

    The government has awarded a license to steal.

    It's not just farms. The law applies to any fixed property.

    As much as South Africa has tremendous natural resources and so much stunning natural beauty they could have a viable national economy on tourism alone, there is so much internecine tribal warfare and outright government corruption that they are a failed state in the last throes of exploiting every last penny from the few money earners they have.

    Twice I've focused on the country in the past couple of years. The first time, I covered their national power grid or what was supposed to pass for one.

    ...The culprit in all this is the country’s nationalized energy company known as ESKOM and it’s corruption central. They’ve spent billions on coal-fired plants that don’t run properly, the older plants haven’t been maintained, engineers who could fix things have been leaving the country in droves and organized crime snatches up replacement parts before they ever make it to the plants.

    …Under the ruling African National Congress (ANC), in charge since 1994, Eskom has become synonymous with corruption, crime, and mismanagement.

    Last year a judge-led inquiry into graft under the former president, Jacob Zuma, found that there were grounds to prosecute several former Eskom executives.

    The government has failed to build new power stations to keep up with increased demand, and warnings from energy experts on looming supply shortages across the past two decades have gone ignored.

    The second was as the increasingly openly racist government began legislatively squeezing water supplies to white farmers.

    ...This is a direct strike at what’s left of South Africa’s farmers, who are a tiny minority in the country, but predominantly white. The leader of the opposition Democratic Alliance Party unloaded on the government yesterday.

    Hot on the heels of newly-gazetted draft Race Quotas designed to ban entire groups of South Africans from employment in certain sectors and provinces, the ANC government has now also gazetted race quotas that will determine access to water on the basis of skin colour.

    The draft regulations, published by Minister of Water Senzo Mchunu on 19 May, introduce race quotas for the allocation of water use licences, which are vital to the survival of businesses in sectors such as agriculture, forestry and mining.

    Under the ANC’s new water race quotas, applicants that use more than 250 000 m3 or withdraw more than a set minimum amount from streams need to meet strict racial quotas in order to get access to water – the single most critical resource required for life, livestock, agriculture and industry. Depending on the size of their water need, farmers or companies that have not “allocated” between 25% and 75% of its shares to what the regulations call “blacks,” will be denied access to water.

    I also made sure to mention the open season on white farmers in South Africa...

    People ask me, why don't we fight back or do something. From 1996-2022 we had 13930 #farmattacks in South Africa. The video clip left show farmer fighting off 3 armed killers.
    Every couple of years we gather and protest for the world to see.

    To be fair, our media would be applauding. White privilege and oppression, and all that.

    You know, the same media that told South Africans not to worry about a thing. They had a wonderful opportunity to turn out just like Zimbabwe.

    I mean, 'look at this jovial Mugabe fellow,' Dan Rather chirped.

    The whole narrative is absurd on its face - at the same time the USA was both founded on White supremacy, slavery, and genocide, yet always meant to be a place that infinity Africans, Indians, and South Americans could come for a "better life"? - Unknown

    How is that a bad thing?

    Both inclusivity and democracy are antithetical to liberty.

    The exaltation of "inclusivity" is a derogation of the freedom of (dis)association. The freedom to exclude is fundamental, whether it is manifested in the exclusion of others (e.g., via the exercise of property rights) or in the exclusion of oneself (e.g., via the exercise of secession rights).

    (As for the exaltation of "democracy", I trust it is not necessary here at RPFs to elaborate upon the myriad ways in which democracy is inimical to liberty.)

    South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!

    South Africa is doing the same thing that was done to Native Hawaiians in the 1984 case Midkiff v Hawaii Housing Authority. Basically some Native Hawaiian families owned most of the land and it was taken from them using eminent domain to "redistribute" to other people only for the land to ulitmately be bought up by land speculators. Oh sure they got "compensanted" but not nearly what the land was actually worth.

    And what does Donald Trump think about eminent domain?



    Oh, but it was Donald Trump fvcking over that white widow so it's somehow okay right?

    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.
