Me being from the North of the country, any comment I’ll make about this case might seem divisive since there were conflicts between the North and the South. I’m actually shocked especially when that man said South Africans aren’t giving them enough job. Like how the f you want them to magically heal your economical problems?

[@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.

[@oogabooga2581]

@@Winnas Well yes, the point of the Congolese government inviting experienced south african farmers was entirely for this reason, and the anticipation from the neighboring congolese farmers hoping for work when the *big south african corperation* employs everyone; Instead it wasn't co-operative venture that they were promised that turned up, it was their competition.

[@CasperJanhendry]

As a white South African myself who left the country more than 20 years ago, I can actually understand the Congolese. Most of the South African farmers are indeed right- wing Christians who don't want to mix with blacks. They are definitely out there for themselves, and not to create better lives for the locals. They thought going there would have been the same as in the old South Africa where their was an abundance of cheap labour and blacks that will do whatever they tell them to do. Most of these farmers are paying locals next to nothing for working like slaves. The South African farmers in other parts of Africa has basically established colonies like the Germans in South America for example. It is not their intention to integrate in their new countries, nor share their profits with the locals or to learn the local language or French. On the other side it is difficult to be a farmer in South Africa these days with the high number of farm murders. If it's a good thing for them to move to other African countries? I'm not so sure.

[@sanelefakude3560]

Casper Walt thank you

[@Mrs.T305]

Casper Walt Thanks for your honesty. I think they're traumatised by blacks based on what they went through in SA hence the lack of desire to integrate with locals. Learning a new language is also a challenge. I think a Dutch speaking island in the Caribbean may be a perfect option for them.

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.

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.

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

If this guys are hard workers and investors then why they didn’t pull it together. This is how corporate South Africa survive here in South Africa since then to this day. Black slavery made Europe and Middle East rich. The same phenomenon of black slavery still persists in South Africa and is called employment. If anyone listened carefully you will hear the locals were not happy with the mentality of this white who want them to work for them in their land for free while they just directing them. In the first place they don’t even know how this people got on their tribal land. Hence when he go and approach local king he still has attitude. The other white guy who is from France understands the local dynamics he even mentioned that he was shocked to learn that South Africans can pull such project without resources. Here is another important thing here, the same white South Africans were paid by the Congolese government to farm and free land to farm. I wonder why the locals were not offered such opportunities. I am aware that other projects have collapsed while run by the locals but it was in the different area so locals should have received first preference before South Africans. If we continue to ignore how Europeans and relationship to slavery then we will always think this people are hard workers or idea generators. It was easy for the Europeans to disposed a black body before and it doesn’t mean today is hard as they approach the world as corporate not as slave master. But it is one and the same thing. Whites they always talk about hard work and intelligence but we know their brutal killing of black people has positioned them in the seat they are occupying today. The same whites will continue to kill anyone who stand on their way or affect their interests and claim the God will or favour. May the world see what is happening that it was never hard work but ruthless killing of the babies, women and men to get maximum attention and submission from the slaves.

The govt also imposed tarrifs on imported food stuff, this gave Boer farmers monopoly over the local market, and South Africans were made to buy food at high prices (because importing cheaply was difficult)! Moreover, the Boer farmers exploited Black people by underpaying them, or sometimes paying them in Alcohol (Cape wineries) or not paying them at all!

Show me the entry visas and passports of the Europeans who became boers in South Africa. It never was their lands!

[@hyacintheebula835]

What i love about them is that they see opportunities where most people didn't. As black people we don't take advantage of the nature to create jobs but all we do is wait for the whites to create jobs in our lands so we can work for them. They're intelligent. Let them live peacefully. Y'all are welcome to congo. But do not bring Racism there.

[@hyacintheebula835]

@Bela T.Ttell me how do they support xenophonia?

[@eveclap6259]

Hyacinths- they took over South Africa now they want the Congo, what the government need to do is train black people to farm and develop land give them the necessary tools they need.

[@bourgeoisiez764]

Bela T.T the lady said it was the congoneise that didn’t like their children playing with the whites.. diversity just doesn’t work

[@drtosapana7736]

U need to review history......racism and capitalism is EXACTLY what ruin many lands filters people......please......

[@lekis5975]

@hyacintheebula835 White people do not have monopoly over intelligence (or beauty for that matter). If you were to bother reading widely, then you would find, Boer farmers only thrived because they were heavily subsidised by the Apartheid regime. They used to receive loans at low interest rates to purchase seeds, fertilisers and machinery. The govt also imposed tariffs on imported food stuff, this gave Boer farmers monopoly over the local market and South Africans were made to buy food at high prices! Moreover, the Boer farmers exploited Black people by underpaying them or sometimes paying them in Alcohol (Cape wineries) or not paying them at all! White farmers thrived because they were cossetted by the apartheid regime and because they were able to exploit Black workers and customers. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

This was 21 years ago. 4 years after democracy! I would therefore, like to state that all these predictions of doom and the apocalypse have not taken place 21 years after this was published. The number of white farmers that emigrated is smaller than you think. Please remember this as you watch this documentary. It was 20 years ago!

[@LuckyLucky-xp2sz]

Good to know. I would really like to know how things have progressed over time

[@treefiddy727]

Remember it also when you hear all the predictions of doom and the apocalypse today. Life has always been full of struggle and challenges but people still persist

Because of your racist mentality you can go at your own choice we don't have a problem as south Africans this is our country we will stay with the people who is willing to willing to accept us as human beings and work with every color in our country.

[@ws_odysseus]

Good start in being an African, cook for yourself, clean your own house, wash your own clothes, interact with Africans, let children go to same schools as Africans, same churches ... otherwise running from South Africa to Congo is really running from yourself, once you discover yourself you can live anywhere in Africa, come to terms "apartheid 'living " is long gone & outdated, even in lawless Congo.

[@josephinemuringo2453]

Tell them, Africa means brotherly love and community living.

[@thabisokekana3704]

Bro you the only one here with a valid point. Others don’t see how these guys have an inner problem with being racists

[@eudoraevans3340]

Laziness. Just farm your own land and go to market. And if the country's population doesn't have the know how. Get people to teach this trade. Don't give away the country.

[@anthonylemkendorf3114]

How old are these films . A complete waste of my time . "A peaceful country " the Congo is a violent hell hole ! Goodbye Journeymam. TV

It says in the description the film is from 1998

what a lost for south africa the Boer are genius in farming

[@MW-by1ru]

And racists too

[@2025peach]

Why doesn't the government provide the training and the tools to allow the villages to cooperatively farm the land and build from within???

[@grantmartin4663]

I left SA in 93 and was hoping to return one day. Sadly I have watched it fall apart and I will never returned as long as it goes on like this. I pray for all my family and friends that haven't had a opportunity to leave. Sad but true.

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.

[@laurymakesaway6695]

Congolese live all over Europe, Canada and the US imagine if they were to be treated like this🤔 I've lost respect for them now, Glad I found this video 🙅🏿‍♀️

[@ekesandras1481]

It is barely mentioned, but this video is about the Republic of Congo, also known as Congo-Brazzaville, which is north of the Congo river, the former French Congo; NOT the former Belgian Congo, which calles itself now Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaïre.

[@Pyrrhic537]

The description says the DRC. I haven’t watched the video yet though.
