The reason why New Zealand hasn't kicked them out is because they are a compatible culture. They never needed to be ermmm reprimanded to behave. To believe anything different shows me even you bought the propaganda in them.

Have you ever asked how whites acquired everything they got in Africa? did they get visas and buy land from blacks?

[@daryla7825]

heaty007 if you want to know how Africa looked like 500 years ago, read the memoirs of the early missionaries. The fact you think visas existed 500 years ago, or that there was a land registry for the transfer of land from seller to buyer, is hilarious.

Well done Piet ! let many other South African farmers follow your courageous example... you have nothing to lose as things stand owning a South African farm as a white person....no crime or fear of being attacked for whatever reason..in Georgia ... There shouldnt be any negative reaction to an exodus like this from South Africa, .. because Julius Malema can run all the farms as successfully as he has run his farm...

Thank you...as there will be a lot left behind.

[@indodakabusha9592]

😂 We've been hearing this since the 80's. On a serious note, Yes, all nations rise and fall, and SA is not exempt. BUT, the death of SA will most probably come from those that stay, like the ANC, EFF and BLF, not from those that leave. I.e. it's in our hands. One last thought. Those that leave can be easily replaced. One thing people forget is that for every 1 "white" person that emigrated, 5 more skilled people from around Africa arrive. But no one pays attention to skilled African immigrants because they are not white. We have a lot of professors in SA coming from Angola, Kenya, Botswana etc... Regardless, all the best to these Afrikaner farmers. It's about time they explore the world... They will also finally Learn to be self sufficient not rely on cheap black labour as much as they did in SA. Also, it will be great for their kids futures to be outside of SA. I'm almost sure some will come back when they see the real world out there...

[@rogerengland2821]

@@indodakabusha9592 My statement is not based on the color of skin but instead based upon the prevailing socialist ideology of the ruling elites, SA leadership and the opposition seem bent on pursuing ideas which have in the past caused catastrophic social and economic devastation in other countries which have implemented this type of ideology. The racially motivated killings are just a part of the problem caused by political rhetoric but this is just a symptom of social decline which if left unchecked will become the eventual undoing of SA. Rome was not built in a day and it wasn't destroyed in a day. Slowly but surely the tide of decay eats away from the countries core. But there is hope if hearts and minds are changed.

[@Enzo8mmSA]

@@rogerengland2821 I didn't say your answer was race based. When I mentioned race, it was just a "by the way" That's why I said " just a thought." I agree with most of what you said, except for the race based killings part. Here's why. Gay and lesbians and other ordinary South Africans, the majority in townships, get killed just as ruthlessly... but in larger numbers. Is it still race based killings, when the same ruthless attacks happening to black people? (Black people have no Georgia to run to, fewer CNBCAfrica type platforms to highlight their terror, to a point where we have even become acclimatised to this senseless violence)

[@rogerengland2821]

@@Enzo8mmSA I didn't take it as race based either Just emphasizing the crux of the conversation with my statement. I am in total agreement with you where injustice is concerned, it knows no color creed class or orientation, prejudice walks hand in hand with injustice, they are a terrible partnership and can cause people to act in ruthless and wicked ways.

First pay a visit and talk with operators of Justice House in the middle of the capital. They will explain u every legal specifics. Then talk with lawyers there and with farmers who will sell you a land or house with land. Then talk with that family or anybody from SA who settled there already. All you need is a interpreter that I am sure u could hire for $40 a day (some local student).
