WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

SA to take a Leaf from Zim"s Land Reform Book
[Note. The following story is almost impossible to believe, but it is the result of a brilliantly played out propaganda exercise. Maybe some of you will know that the playright, George Bernard Shaw was invited by the Soviets in the early days of communism to take a look at the situation there. The communists put on a nice show for him and he went back to the West saying that everything in the Soviet Union was fine and that it was the West who were the liars. Well, exactly that happened. The South African Labour minister went to Zimbabwe and was shown a lovely farm, which he was told was a great success, showing how well things were going. Then he came back and to our utter astonishment, he said that “We must learn from Zimbabwe!!” Well, this pseudo-logical bunk and claptrap is just a nice way of fooling everyone into thinking that the ANC “learnt a lesson from Zimbabwe!” Of course, as I have been saying for the last three years – the ANC wants to do the same in South Africa. Now they “pretend” to have “learnt” something when in fact they wanted to do it all along. Now, in this nicely staged propaganda exercise, the South African government “learns” something from Zimbabwe. Well, not all of us are foolish enough to fall for their stupid tricks. Read the following article. I saw a news report on TV last night about this. It is unbelievable. As for the white farmer in this story, you get such type who suck up to authoritarian rule in order to save their own hides. He is a disgrace. Jan]
‘Take a leaf out of Zim’s land reform book’
——————————————-
South Africa has a lot to learn about land reform from its neighbour, Zimbabwe, Labour Minister Membathisi Mdladlana said on Friday.
Mdladlana has visited three farms, one of them owned by a white farmer, in the Mashonaland district as part of his visit to Zimbabwe. He was accompanied by his Zimbabwean counterpart, July Moyo, according to a statement released by Mdladlana’s office from Zimbabwe.
He said in the statement that white farmer David Wakefield resettled on a 400ha farm after giving up some of his land to the land reform programme.
Wakefield told the minister that one of the major problems in Zimbabwe was the negative attitude other white farmers had towards land reform. He said white farmers had known since 1985 that land reform would be implemented but had decided to be negative about it.
‘I wish that all white farmers would have a positive attitude about their country’ Mdladlana said the impression had been created that all white farmers had left Zimbabwe in the wake of the land reform programme.
“In South Africa, we thought that all white farmers have left Zimbabwe because of the land redistribution programme. I am encouraged by Wakefield’s attitude and I wish that all white farmers would have a positive attitude about their country.”
He said South Africa also has a land reform programme and has to learn from Zimbabwean government, which had dealt with it since independence.
“It is important that black people should also own land that they till and know how to produce food and be self-sufficient and sustainable.”
Mdladlana also visited a resettled black farmer who received a 250ha farm from the Zimbabwean government.
‘It is important that black people should also own land’ During bilateral meetings Moyo and Mdladlana also discussed issues relating to migrant workers in South Africa.
It was agreed that all Zimbabweans working on South African farms should have work permits. Education would also take place to make people on both sides of the border aware of legislation governing the employment of foreign nationals.
South African farmers would first have to consider local workers for employment before employing foreigners. Laws prescribing a minimum wage for farmworkers would be extended to protect Zimbabwean labourers on farms from March 1.
Mdladlana and Moyo would visit three farms in the Limpopo province on Friday. – Sapa
