South Africa LAND SEIZURE crisis: Bank warns of DEFAULT over white-farm land grabs
SOUTH Africa’s proposed new policy of seizing privately-owned land without compensation could torpedo the country’s economy if farmers stop investing and paying off debts, the state-owned Land Bank has warned.
By SIMON OSBORNE
PUBLISHED: 14:34, Wed, Aug 22, 2018 | UPDATED: 16:17, Wed, Aug 22, 2018
Bosses said the government's new decree on land reform could trigger defaults that would cost the economy £2.2bn if the bank’s rights as a creditor are not protected.
Land Bank is an agricultural bank guided by a government mandate to provide financial services to the commercial farming sector and agri-business.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced this month his government will enforce a change in the constitution to allow the expropriation of land without compensation.
A record number of white South African farmers have put their land up for sale amid fears the ruling party is considering confiscating properties bigger than 25,000 acres.
According to the ruling Africa National Congress party (ANC), the white minority in the country still own most of the land more than two decades after the end of apartheid.
The ANC wants to redistribute the land confiscated from white farmers to the black citizens of the country.
Land Bank chairman Arthur Moloto said expropriation without compensation would immediately cost the bank £480m.
He said: “A cross default clause would be triggered should we fail to pay when these debts fall due because of inadequate liquidity or lack of alternative sources of funding.
“This would make our entire funding portfolio due and payable immediately, which we would not be able to settle.
“Consequently, government intervention would be required to settle our lenders.”
Mr Moloto said a badly-run land reform program would hurt his bank’s capital.
He said: “A poorly executed expropriation without compensation could result in the main sources of funding drying up as investors might not be willing to continue funding Land Bank in particular, or agriculture in general.”
Since the end of apartheid in 1994, the ANC has followed a “willing-seller, willing-buyer” model.
Under the plan, the government buys land from white landowners and redistributes it among black citizens of the country.
But critics say the land reform programme has not brought the results the ANC wants.
Tensions among South Africa’s white farming community has been escalating since the election of Cyril Ramaphosa as President earlier the year, who committed his African National Congress (ANC) to land expropriation.
Last week, ANC chairman Gwede Mantashe sparked panic among the farming community when he said: “You shouldn’t own more than 25,000 acres of land.
“Therefore if you own more it should be taken without compensation.
“People who are privileged never give away privilege as a matter of a gift.
“And that is why we say, to give you the tools, revisit the constitution so that you have a legal tool to do it.”
Economists and farmers’ unions have warned land grabs in South Africa could lead to a Zimbabwe-style collapse of the the agricultural industry from which the economy will struggle to recover.

Muslims don't belong here. Because I don't want this to be a Muslim country. Middle-easterners don't belong here. Because I don't want this to be a middle-eastern country. And Mexicans and other Latin Americans don't belong here. Because I don't want this country to become Northern Mexico. If we care about liberty, we ought to do whatever we can to get them out.

I am not in favor of deporting or expelling confirmed US citizens.
I am in favor of an across the board halt in immigration, legal or illegal.
I am in favor of deporting anybody who is not within the country legally as defined by law.
Why is this a concern for our government?

So will we offer preferential refugee status to white foreigners over colored foreigners?
If we want to stay away from providing refugees a place to come we should not get involved.

It's been, literally, years, since I read a PuffHo story on their website.
I notice they no longer allow comments either.

President Donald Trump faced more accusations of racism late Wednesday after he tweeted about white farmers in South Africa.
In an apparent response to a segment on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show, Trump said he’d asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to “closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures”:

Fellow tweeters accused Trump of promoting the white nationalist talking point that the South African government was waging a war against whites.
Khusela Diko, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s spokeswoman, told Reuters that Trump was “misinformed” about the country’s planned land reforms and that its government would “take up the matter through diplomatic channels.”
“South Africa totally rejects this narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past,” the South African government tweeted. “South Africa will speed up the pace of land reform in a careful and inclusive manner that does not divide our nation.”

Yes! Now this is how we play!
Problem is, I’d be excited ‘cept I know perfectly well as soon as I make a post for which you can’t think of any one-liner reply you feel is clever and devastating, you’ll just ignore it. And so that will be the end of the conversation. More accurately: it will never become a conversation. You don’t have conversations. Certainly not with me. You have had a couple more extended back and forths with people who seemed to be moderately to severely retarded, so maybe that’s the key. Make ya feel all secure, certain of your intellectual superiority, not threatened and uncertain.
Anyway, feel free to act like a human and have a conversation with me. Based on past experience it’s unlikely, but I don’t know you, I don’t understand you (venture to say: no one here does), and so who knows what you’ll do. People can change.
OK, where were we? Ah yes: this was an awesome post. In so many ways. It would seem to have the opponent, me, pinned into a corner, yes? 1) You pretty clearly imply that you’re in favor of mass deportation, and 2) You pretty clearly imply you think that genociding whites in South Africa is bad. You would seem, in that case, to be stuck. How you gonna get out of that one?
You could try to claim that deportation is not the same as genocide. That’s the tac Swordsmyth has taken in his defense of me (thanks, Sword!), but that comes off as pretty weak. Too much like parsing words, splitting hairs. Because while it’s obviously true that deportation and genocide are significantly different things, that actually doesn’t get at the crux of the issue.
So, the other alternative is to just be honest and upfront and go straight for the jugular crux. Full frontal assault on the crux. And that’s kind of my default style, historically, since I came here in 2007 — and more generally since I came to this Earth. Because fact is, would I support a humane, orderly, compensated deportation of white people out of South Africa? No I would not. Nor of white Europeans out of North America. ‘But, but... inconsistent!!’ Yeah. Here’s the thing. Inconsistent with what? Under what framework? Under an ideological framework. Not under a reality framework. Only under a crazed, rigid adherence to an interesting artificial system called “ideology” is it inconsistent. But ideology is all abstractions and has no relationship to reality. It’s just all made up. So at some point you’ve got to choose your framework: ideology framework, or reality framework. As for me and my house: we choose reality.
And so then, suddenly, the question becomes not “Am I adhering to an artificial quasi-mathematical system of rules, axioms, and bromides?”, but rather “What would work? What would make a good society for my non-theoretical children to live and thrive in?” and other reality-based questions like that.
So in the reality framework, which is what I’ve switched to working in nowadays, it all makes sense. Would it make my society better for my children if all the Mexicans were booted back to go make Mexico great again? By my estimation, yes. (We could debate that, but you don’t care about practical realities like that, methinks, only ideology. So you won’t.) Likewise, will it make South Africa better to genocide all the whites there? Obviously not, probably no one would go so far on the crazy train as to debate that point. Whites built the country and are the only ones competent enough to keep the country from wholesale crumbling. Everyone knows that.
Join me in reality, guys. Water’s sweet. Once you go real, you’ll never go back.
Oh, and a new update straight from reality on this story: South Africa is “fact checking” the tweet. And whom did they get to do the checking?
Julius Malema!!! Yes, as in “Die, white man! Viva Malema!” Malema. Ha, ha ha ha, ha! Mine floor it seems to be rolling. I’ll leave the work to others to fill in the gaps and post some background articles if you don’t get the joke.

In a new article/podcast, about the lies that were used to bring on WWI, Judge John V. Denson briefly mentions:
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/08/...tory-of-ww1-2/The horror of the British concentration camps in South Africa, where 20,000 children died, is conveniently glossed over; the devastating loss of a generation in a world war for which these men were deliberately responsible has been glorified by the lie that they died for ‘freedom and civilization.’
Looking up real history shows that the 1st concentration camps were actually in South Africa- but of course, only the Germans were bad guys.
