[@oogabooga2581]

Yeah i think what the politician said was correct, that the neighboring farmers were promised a cash injection and jobs on this land, and the south africans were promised the farm land; so the middleman between the congolese and south africans effectively caused this tension, and run off with the grant money; where now the congolese farmers have to compete against south africans expensive farm equipment

[@Winnas]

@@oogabooga2581 Don't think it's even the expensive farm equipment. Modern techniques, efficiency management modeling, modern accounting, modern hiring practices, and general educational levels will have them out competing any African single family holding peasant farmer.

They are one. Man dived Kongo.

[@Supernyv]

I will be kind enough to give some context to the name confusion. The Kingdom of Kongo, from which the name Congo was taken was a small Kingdom in Central Africa. This Kingdom was divided yes, but I'll come back to that afterwards to explain why it's bullshit to say whites divided the two Congos (that they were the same country in some past). Before French and Belgians colonized territoires in Central Africa, the whole region was referred to as "The Congo", not because it was a country known as Congo, but because the only ancient Kingdom with ties to European countries/Kingdom in that region was the Kongo Kingdom. If you had to compare that "The Congo" to the Kongo Kingdom in size, it would be similar to comparing a football field to a 30 cm ruler or so. So, what Europeans divided was not a country but a region with hundreds of Kingdoms and Chieftaincies which considered themselves different from each other. As a result, in some instances, rival Kingdoms were placed inside one country, in others some Kingdoms saw their territories split between different countries and this was the case for the Kongo Kingdom. The French decided the name their share "The French Congo", because as I already said, the whole region was then referred to as the Congo. Later on, the Belgians named their share "Belgian Congo". So, in short, if they did anything, they actually unified (or perhaps forced unity among) some territories and split some, but they did not separate a country named Congo. And most importantly, the confusion did not actually come from there. In 1958, right before independence, the French Republic granted some autonomy to its colonies, and the French Congo became a Republic, named the Republic of Congo, while the Belgian Congo remained that way till independence in 1960 where it was also named the Republic of Congo. That's where the confusion comes from, because then we had two countries with exactly the same name. To differentiate, the earlier was referred to as Congo-Brazzaville and the later Congo-Leopoldville (the capital cities were added to the word Congo). Although the later was subsequently renamed the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and then Zaïre and back to RDC, the confusion remained.

[@Supernyv]

@Reality Tube, as you can see, I'm certainly not the idiot here. Next time do some research before talking about serious topics. Saying the two countries were the same would be similar to Saying that Gabon and Cameroun, or Tchad and Central African Republic were the same countries before being split by whites. Which is just ridiculous.

I was the journalist who went with the farmer couple, Sarie and Frans Cronje, to the Congo in 1996. As you probably know, there was a civil war a year later which lasted until 1999. The first democratic elected President, Lissouba, who had invited the South Africans was ousted by a military coup through Denis Sassou with the help of the Angolan military. All the South African had to flee. As I have heard, Sarie and Frans found work in Pointe Noire. He was working at a saw mill, but I have no idea where they are now. Best regards, Marion

They don't have the capital for the equipment. And they don't "own" that land - if they did, they could use it as collateral to secure a loan for the necessary equipment. That's why they failed in zimbabwe - a country who has no respect for property rights will not allow the land to be used as collateral. That's how the whites were so successful. Every year they secured loans to start the harvest. Then paid off loans and enjoyed the remaining profit.

There was also an offer from Russia for South African farmers to go there to farm. I remember farming in Tanzania on land that had never been cultivated by anyone, and it took 5 years of investments before starting to break even, and we gave work to 60 employees, that received a good wage and food. Once a week I used to kill one old buffalo for them to have meat to supplement the beans we gave them.

Kremlin extracts value, it does not give anything to anyone.

[@Blankingfisherman]

Farm in russia ya know😂😂😂

[@alexhayden2303]

And some Congolese are given farmland in the Oz Out Back! 'To pass the time, they play cards'! How about cultivating and producing?

[@rodrigovonkluge4280]

Come to Brazil, white brothers. Southeast and South of the country are white Farms here have great prices and very good for agriculture

[@mahajanga3344]

@ Rodrigo Von Kluge A lot of nazi descents in these regions of Brazil. Have you a bloodline nazi Von Kluge ?

[@rodrigovonkluge4280]

My grandparents were Austrians, I'm not a Nazi ..... What does this have to do with what I said?

[@mahajanga3344]

Hitler was austrian too, an aryan or white supremacist, like all the germans and austrians. Why do you mentionned in your comments that the South and southeast are white. Unless as your ancestors, you are a white supremacist in a country with a black and mixed majority. You, white people liked to grab lands from the others people. Stop stealing the lands of the native populations of Brazil in Amazonia. EOD

[@rodrigovonkluge4280]

Brazil is not black majority

[@mahajanga3344]

No matter. You are an immigrant by your grandparents coming from a Nazi nation (no doubt about that, Von Kluge doesnt seem to be a jewish patronymic fleeing the nazi persecutions in Europa). Stop trying to minimize the contribution of the African cultures in Brazil Rodrigo Mang.. (oh! sorry), Priebk.. (re sorry, it's my keyboard), Von Kluge.

[@PHANKS987]

Interesting, lots of lessons to be learned, some agricultural and some cultural.

[@PHANKS987]

@j808 Yeah, don't let socialist gain power coz socialism benefits the majority of the people.

[@Карандаш-г2ъ]

@@PHANKS987 it wouldn't work. It would only give their government more power and control than they already have. And how would that even work in a country where 3/4 of citizens make only $1 a day? If it ever did happen I promise the Congolese quality of life wouldn't improve

[@nicky3748]

Stay away from the Congo.

[@DADAMANism]

The Xhosa and Sotho are good farmers, they should all over Africa and teach people how to farm. I was taught at early age how to farm.

[@mgebesibula7282]

We know how to farm

[@NaMalinga]

I also recall Zulu people being excellent livestock farmers and butchers for years :). They just don’t make a noise about being good at natural survival instincts.

If this was filmed in 1998, is there an update?

That be the Brits !

[@TodayFreedom]

“Thirty hectares of vegetables planted in one year” - do you people have any idea how astonishing that is to achieve on land that was formerly jungle and scrubland??? No wonder the boers are considered such outstanding farmers. God bless them.

[@kanorkanor2866]

What starting again in congo, another african land

[@doraymeandyou]

I thought that too, but if farming is all they’ve ever known, I guess they search for somewhere with a similar climate, and maybe also not to far away, in case they still have family that haven’t moved yet.

[@ibobeko4309]

land is very cheap there, labor also.

@Dirk Pretorius Goede film.

[@traykunable]

Uhhhhhh because they are African? They've been in Africa for generations and are affiliated with the land...

[@ngobolamuyembe8029]

I come from Zambia neighbouring the Congo but even I would have a problem staying inside the Congo as my people this side are very territorial with a very ugly history. Congolese do not tolerate racist colonial mentality so these families will not have it easy unless they change their approach. The communist and socialism the first man is complaining about is what has made it possible for him to settle in Congo because the government has given you the land for free. You will not stay there for long with that mentality and not even Europeans will tolerate you. Change or those Congolese will give you a very hard time. Best to befriend them than antagonize them indirectly by sticking to your own colony. Just because Mandela never took you to prison the crimes under Apartheid does not mean that lifestyle was normal. The lady on 8.02 has a point as she realizes that it will be senseless to make a white country in the middle of a black country that has just welcomed you.

[@liengamier3290]

Why thy don 't come to Europa

[@YJ-bm7om]

Why the world can't make fair trade to Africa . . You cut our timbers fetch all our coltan to make aeroplanes and computers , mobile .. lot how poor is Congo . Their petrol they get only 16% from the west how do you think they can prosper

y j dude the world can’t just walk in and start cutting timber ... your leaders allow them to come in and cut timber . Someone gets very wealthy ..blame the right people . It’s about business

[@ngobolamuyembe8029]

@ Those white farmers will get loans from Banks like Barclays and ABSA with no collateral while a black farmer needs to show property to borrow. Our leaders have been assassinated for trying to do what is right by their people and rewarded those who steal from their people. IMF, WTO, and World Bank have ruined entire countries through fake programs that disadvantage the local people yet people like you will only see these things on the surface. Go and find out why some of your intelligent citizens demonstrate at the G8 summit every year. Our God is Jehovah Rapha, the God of healing and we shall forever be in his favour. You steal from us you get obesity, Diabetes and cancer. By 2025 money will be meaningless and most of you will have no purpose in life.

Ngobola Muyembe I don’t know which planet you’re living on , but NO ONE gets loans without collateral I assure you ...my parents farm was owned by the bank until the day they sold it ..the bank held the title dees because the land was the collateral . If my dad had not paid his loan back, the bank would have kept the land to cover the cost of the loan completely . Even when I wanted to buy a car , my parents had to sign surety for me because I was under 25 . It’s very very hard to get a loan for anyone and if you’re high risk because you don’t pay bills on time , the bank will not give you a loan whether you’re black or white Those guys in Congo on the video had very little money and no chance to borrow...they actually said that . When it comes to corruption and ineffective leadership ...white people cannot help you . You wanted us out and now you have to deal with the leaders you get I’m afraid . Diabetes and obesity? hmm I would look at the African American population who are the most obese in the country so your theory is nonsense ...stealing from you ..please look at your leaders again . Nothing is stolen it’s all sold and it’s called business .

“They think the South Africans are racist…”, correction: “The Congolese think the white South Africans are superior to them”
