And where are the sanctions and international interference as when in Apartheid days,when the blacks were the beleaguered and downtrodden? Nowhere.It
would seem that white lives here dont count for as much as black ones,in the eyes of the rest of the world.However,even if ALL the farmers were black
themselves,and murdered by members of any race group-IT WOULD STILL BE A NATIONAL CRISIS-THE FOOD PRODUCERS ARE BEING EXTERMINATED.Of course the
government dont care,look at their wealth,the topdogs could simply jump on a plane +go live anywhere,and dine at top restaurants-abandoning the
starving population that elected them.Its up to the international community to save the SA agricultural sector,and maybe the white population if it
seems to be going into a Rwanda-style genocide-which i dont feel will happen.Still,if it did come to that,even then,no help will be forthcoming,im
sure.If such a thing had to happen,we(my family and i) are close to the border,we would try+flee into Swaziland,maybe try and make our way into the
Congo eventually,my husband's trade could make work on a large fully automated farm an option.Mozambique,Namibia,also options,more so Namibia.We
wont leave Africa,though,not even were we as rich as Gates.This continent,Africa,is in the marrow of our bones,we are tied to this place at a level we
cannot explain even to ourselves.We were born in Africa,we love Africa,we are Africans first,before anything else.We identify with This continent,and
buggered be,where our ancesters came from.WE SURE AS HELL aint going "back to Europe".That would be like an alien planet.This is our home,and our
ancestors have bn here in Africa for generations.But thats us.I still feel more free and safe here,even amidst all the racial- hate-based crime.I feel
if the members of the black population that i call hate-zombies,can be made aware of the longterm consequences to themselves and their own loved
ones,if they could just be made to Think for themselves,most of the attacks would stop.Here,as in any strife-torn part of the world,once The Real
Enemy is identified-fruitful and productive change can start.And the only enemy of the very poor blacks,are their own elected leaders.For better life
circumstances,killing white farmers(and whites in general,WE are the disenfranchised now..what the Hell use is killing the ones even more politcally
And economically disempowered than yourself anyway??HATE-ZOMBIES,see? ) are the Last thing they should expect to bring that about.The day that
message sinks in collectively,will be the day the murders stop.Most poorer black women in SA feed their kids through their jobs as domestic workers-go
ahead,kill the white "madams"and see thousands if not millions of black kids starve.STUPID STUPID MINDLESS STUPIDITY.But here's my hope,for every
ten hate-zombies,there are 2/3 decent,sensible people too.Thats why one can Not give up on an entire continent/country/race.
