Namibia: Police foil Namibian farm invasion by 500 blacks

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.

Namibia: Police foil Namibian farm invasion by 500 blacks

[Note. This news story follows on the e-mail I received from Namibia. Clearly, the intention is there to try it. They’ll try again… just give it time… Jan]

Windhoek – The Namibian police have prevented about 500 protesters from carrying out a Zimbabwe-style invasion of a white-owned farm, 50km north-east of here.

Members of the Namibia Farmworkers’ Union had planned to occupy Ongombo West after the farm’s owner, Andries Wiese, refused to allow six workers evicted last month to return.

Before the six were removed from the farm, Wiese had gained a court order allowing him to evict them.

After police intervened on Sunday, averting the invasion, union secretary-general Alfred Angula said: “There has been some adjustment to the plan.”

The union had given Wiese until Wednesday to reinstate the workers and their tenure rights, failing which it would ask him to leave the farm, Angula said.

He claimed farmers were taking advantage of the “slow pace” of the government’s land reform by “ill treating and dumping workers”.

“There is overwhelming proof that those who own the land in this country do not embrace the government’s approach to land reform,” Angula said.
