End game in Zim

THE Government of Robert Mugabe tabled draconian laws yesterday to drive the last white farmers from their land and crush dissent.

The constitutional amendments debated in Parliament will nationalise all agricultural land that has been listed for seizure since 2000. Landowners will have no right to contest the confiscations and will be barred from receiving compensation ...

After five years of murder, assault and harassment of white-owned farms by state agents, the Government has managed to confiscate legally only about 10 per cent of the estimated 4,500 properties. All but a handful of white farmers have had their property listed for “compulsory acquisition”.

However, most of them have kept the Government at bay by fighting their eviction in court. About 450 farmers have stayed on their farms.

Mr Coltart [MDC legal director] said: “These constitutional changes are designed for once and for all to smash the white farmers and to close any possible avenue for using the constitution to protect human rights.”

Another clause in the legislation gives the Government powers “in the national interest” to stop people leaving the country

That sounds even more ominous than the confiscation of property.

I eagerly await the response from Trevor Phillips and Jesse Jackson.

I guess all the Live Aid Advocats’s are dancing in the streets, with the new news of the mongerel Whit’ies being exterminated, thanks to those mutated anglo liberal life forms,aided by Negro’s as they would not be smart enough to institute that initiative under their own intuition, and of course financed by Me and you, good to see our money well spent on the new world order. Do I get a Tax deduction or just a life reduction.
do I have the right to an appellant court, or the right to appeal to the UN court of International war crimes tribuneral, OOOO , I did not think so, that is only for all but Anglo life forms.
Bob Me Garbage world order, something to look foward to. Something else,this future, is this the template of what is to come? YEP

About 450 farmers have stayed on their farms.

I want to make the link with another story I somewhere read in English or Afrikaans. It’s about the one billion $ loan from South Africa to Zimbabwe.

The governor of the Zimbabwean Central Bank who seems the only non-lunatic there, reminded that 30% of the white farmers still dwell in a corner of their former farms and he proposed “let’s keep the most progressive of them so that they can teach advanced farming methods to the new owners”. But he preached in the desert…
