But he is sitting on some other resources, like diamonds and stuff.
Maybe Zales can lobby to have this country bombed into oblivion.
South Africa was one of the most scientifically and agriculturally advanced nations on earth, well-governed, and the only place on earth that supplies four of our most important industrial metals. It was a great place to visit and crime was virtually non-existent.
It's truly sad. The government could have simply assimilated the existing competent farmers, industrialists and former governmental authorities and could have kept the nation working well. The South African government is now one of the most incompetent on the planet among major nations.

If the british goverment had any balls then this situation should of been delt with. As soon as they started kicking white farmers off there farms a couple of years ago we shud of sent in some squaddies to sort um out but fact is our army is so small now we just have to watch it happen & just let the farmers that made it out alive live in some crappy estate in england some where.

It's nice to see some people getting worked up over racist activity, now if only they could save some of that anger for when it happens to blacks. Or is the world only supposed to stop when whites are the victims of racism? Look on the bright side, equality has finally been achieved. Now whites are being killed because of the color of their skin, just like blacks had been for hundreds of years, and there seems to be very little condemnation.

I find it hard to feel sorry for the white farmers from Zim, for two reasons. First, if any are still there, they are either incredibly blind or incredibly stubborn. I think no one is making a big fuss about this because there are so few left there now, and Mugabe and his cronies have already done and said plenty of equally atrocious/retarded things for some time. Second, I don't know a single Zimbabwean white who hasn't had some kind of family connection in Britain. Many of them went to school there. And yet they still refused to secede on terms favorable to Britain or the blacks. They have had the best of both worlds, unlike their black neighbors, for a long time now.
Don't get me wrong, either. I think Mugabe is a fiend and wouldn't be sorry to see him gone. I'm just always surprised at the farmers acting surprised that this happened, when it seemed so long in coming.

These white farmers were the backbone of zimbabwe, they grew the majority of the produce, but today these highly productive farms are falling apart under the control of magabe's thugs. And the general population is suffering from loss of employment and starvation as a result.
the point is that these people are being killed and having their land stolen while the world turns a blind eye.
