farmers,...

I just heard the history of those (white) farmer- familiy who got 80% of their property taken away in 2001 and now the rest of it. Of course they are rich and of course they probably never payed for their land, but on this huge farm there had been many people employed that are now unemployed, there was a school and a kindergarten that doesn’t exist anymore, and lots of food had been produced on this land which is now not being used for anything.

Another farm story. A native zimbabwean just got a bit of land abot 50 km fout of harare, put up a fence and shortly later the giraffe was dead and 40 sable gone.
