" Farm Production Grinds to a Halt As Farm Invasions Continue .."

Have faith, my child.

The situation is temporary for the period that the sector re-adjusts to the departure of the foreign vermin. [If it is any consolation, you may note that Africans were feeding themselves before your rhodie plague stepped vile foot on the African savanna ...]

By the way, have you heard about the epic economic recession and financial meltdown gripping the economies of the world?

Maybe the racist in you would rather maintain that African - and not your whites - are incompetent

[If it is any consolation, you may note that Africans were feeding themselves before your rhodie plague stepped vile foot on the African savanna ...]

Before the 'Rhodie Plague' there were less than 200,000 people native to Zimbabwe. Now there are 12,200,000. You are suggesting that 12,000,000 or so people should leave or die so the population can go back to what the land can support on a subsistance level.

If that happens; in 25 years I'll probably be able to trade a Bic Lighter for a dozen Lion skins!LOL

Like there will be 7 lions left to kill by then. Or any schools open (already closed) hospitals open (already closed) or any local currency (already finished)... the list goes on and on...

Why yes, the greedy ministers and Grace that that corrupt Mugabe has given all the farms too are most definately incompentant farmers. Else there would be plenty of food... but people are starving. All a result of Mugabe not dealing with the land issue properly. Give the land to farmers who can farm, not elitists who just want to look at their property and think they have a big dick. That goes for grace too.

4,000 down to 400, that to me says that your so called Rhodie vermin would now make a minimal impact on in the agriculture sector. it has been like this for nearly 10 years and yet suprise suprise there has been no re adjustments at all. The epic economic financial crisis has done some good things, especially in the agriculture area. Input costs have drastically been reduced, cost of fertilizers, seed, Fuel etc are at there lowest points for nearly two years. when you come up with something substantial in regards to why farm invasions are the right thing to do than people may not think you are such a brain dead boot licker. Murders and beatings, driving people from there homes and starving the nation just doesnt cut it.

be free, and the lousy 400 left MUST GO because we don't need them. Why don't you aussies take them?

Another great Comment, Lousy 400 you say. Isnt it funny how those same 400 are the only ones who are actively farming the land trying to feed the whole country. Now please explain how the ordinary Zimbabweans who are forced to eat maybe once a day and for a lot that means a piece of bread or scraps from someone else garbage. Oh by the way, guess where that garbage comes from. People like you who get fed from all the stolen money that the corrupt ZANU PF regime have amounted over the last 28 years! Feel good about yourself do you Kub? here's a suggestion for you when you feel down one day, go out into the streets and every homeless person or a person feeding from the garbage or someone with Cholera, Kick them in the guts. Because it is people like you who have put them there so you may as well finish them off! Loser

be free, i thought the general feeling from your lot is that there is NO FARMING in Zimbabwe and everyone is starving. It amazes me how an aussie knows SO MUCH about what is happening in Zimbabwe. The latest information is that we now have a power sharing government that is trying to lift those horrible illegal sanctions that has cause the ordinary people in Zimbabwe to suffer. We are going ahead with the land take over because it is OUR RIGHT and Mugabe is still our President. We are gone way past your outdated way of thinking and heading to a very bright future.

Befree, i wonder who provided all the food for the Bob Birthday Bash. Maybe he found out the ingrediants came from the 400 farmers and now he feels sisck.

zola, Zimbabwe provided the food ! For a man of God you are a very negative attitude towards Zimbabwe old chap. They say if you sleep with a dog - you get fleas. You are siding with rhodies and non- Zimbabwean's that do not want our country to improve - SHAME ON YOU JUDAS !

Zimbabwe providing the food? from where. How many times do i have to tell you, i do not like the racist times of Rhodesia, It's just that it is worse even more now. Your dog may have fleas, where do you get your pulvex from, because you can't. Judas? when did you start reading upon the Bible. If Judas hadn't of done what he did of accepting 30 pieces of silver for Jesus, then the romans would never of arrested Jesus and Jesus would never of gone to the cross for everyones sins. It was in God's plan. How little you know about the word of God. Being negative, what positives have you got for the country as a whole instead of a selective few. Oh how does Mengestu come to have two farms in Zimbabwe, I thought the farms were for the landless peoples to empower the impoverished.

zola, did it ever cross your mind that Mengistu could have bought the farms ? One should not jump to conclusions if you don't have real facts. You are just following what 'baas' is telling you. The time in Zimbabwe has come for everyone to be positive because we do have a power sharing government in place. But you, a man of God is still being controlled by 'baas' and forgetting what Christian values are. Your Bible readings mean nothing to us so save them and join rhodie.com. WE JUST WANT OUR LAND , NOTHING ELSE ! I'm sure even YOUR GOD ( Not 'Baas') would say YES !

Kubatana, you curse God and yet you say you want your land. Who gave you that land? Who created that land? Who directs the wind the rain, the winter and the sunshine that feeds and nourishes that land? Buy all means, love and protect your land because it is your duty to do so but do not curse God.

"zola, did it ever cross your mind that Mengistu could have bought the farms ?"

No, because it's a flat impossibility. "Bought" means that the farms were willingly sold for a sum of money both parties agreed upon. Evicting a farmer from his farm is not "buying" it, even if you do toss him a few pennies in compensation.

Waht a racist pig you are Kubatana. Pitty the world cannot get rid of swine like you that made the worst Africanner boer seem moderate. It seems now that the Black African (hopefully minority) have now become the worst Racist, while at the asme time begging the world to dig themselves out the hole that that they have placed their own people into after raping and pillaging. Sad lot you are!!!!!!!!

JRR, it's this 'world' you talk about that got Zimbabwe into this situation to start off with - so don't you think it's only right that the world pay for the rebuilding ? You on the other hand old fruit invented RACISM so don't talk !

Chokora, you have been waiting for the readjustment for the last 29 years. If you don't get out there and start planting in the correct way at the right time with the right fertilisers, nothing will grow. If the indigenous peoples of the conquered land new how to feed themselves, then why didn't they show the invaders how to farm correctly.

Chokora, You've seen the adverts for Lonrho I'm sure. Want to know what it means, London-Rhodesia corporation and guess what, they have been buying up a lot in Zimbabwe lately. Rhodesia will never take the land back he said. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . What a laugh, it's been happening under his nose and he didn't realise it.

Poor kid: The header you were looking for is the following:

"Farm Production Readjusts As Reclamation of Ancestral Farms is Finalized"

Glad to oblige. You may thank me later.

Chokka,a fool who denies he is a fool is destined to remain a fool.

Buddha dont argue with those fools. have u not heard the saying do not argue with a fool- i know sometimes its hard to avoid them like the plague!!!

I'm not agueing N/a ,just proving there's one born every minute.

Can u believe it while these FOOLS say all this rubbish in Zimboland everything is paid for in Rands, Pula.and guess what ...US$!! including School fees - i believe some private schools are charging around US$600 I wonder what happend to the Zimbo dollar!!-I am asking myself how they have arrived at these figures!!!! with inflation gone through the roof

Wow! Did you think of that all by yourself?

No worry. You wish to remain a fool - and we don't wish to knock your foolishness out of you.

But then you should stop reading and an education (if any) may have been a waste for you: Supremacist idiocy, malice and slaughter come naturally to a rhodie.

So we have a new CIO/JOC operative haunting these boards now?

Just in case you didn't get the memo......... the "Rhoadies" left Zimbabwe almost 30 years ago now!

How well has ZANU-PF/Mugabe served the nation they inherited from the racist regime of Ian Smith? To ALL those who defend the kleptocracy of ZANU-PF/Mugabe, the FACTS in a comparison between living standards in ZImbabwe under ZANU-PF/Mugabe versus Ian Smith's Rhodesia are illuminating!

Under Ian Smith, the schools were open - how are they doing now?

Under Ian Smith, the hospitals were open - how are they doing now?

Under Ian Smith, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe fed itself - how is it doing now?

Under Ian Smith, inflation was somewhat less that todays 231 MILLION%

Under Ian Smith, water was clean and safe to drink - how is it now?

Under Ian Smith, less than 85% of the population was unemployed - now?

Under Ian Smith, life expectancy in Rhodesia is higher than it is now.

Under Ian Smith,cholera outbreaks did NOT kill 4,000 people.

None of this is to suggest that it would be better for Ian Smith's racist regime to have continued to rule in ZImbabwe! However, if you compare the standard of living in Zimbabwe today against the "accomplishments" of Zimbabwe while under the "guidance" of ZANU-PF/Mugabe, it is not hard to determine that things have gotten worse!

The common denominator? ZANU-PF/Mugabe! Whatever they touch turns to dust or dies. While ZANU-PF/Mugabe was one of a number of groups that freed Zimbabwe from a racist post-colonial regime, they have done less, with more, than almost any post-liberation government in Africa!

Judge ZANU-PF/Mugabe by it's record - that's all that is required! Zimbabwe is literally in it's worst condition since the liberation and it's NOT because of any "sanctions" that are imposed on less than 200 people in Zimbabwe!

If Zimbabwe is so "totally empowered", then what difference does it make if the U.S. and U.K. have sanctions against the government? If you're "totally empowered" doesn't that mean that the actions of outsiders don't really matter?

Or maybe you can answer me this: If Zimbabwe in it's current "totally empowered" state suffers in comparison to a racist post-colonial regime like Ian Smith's Rhodesia - then you have to ask, what has ZANU-PF/Mugabe actually done in 28 years of unfettered power? How have they actually served the people they supposedly govern?

To ZANU-PF/Mugabe and all of their sycophants: "You had you chance, flubbed it - Next!"

Julman, its just Jellyboobs... he changed his name because the baby couldnt handle a little fun we were having with his name.

As for your post... you simple cant argue with the facts can you. Mugabe has systematically destroyed the country to fill his back pocket. How he buys $4 million USD mansions for his daughter in Hong Kong.... where a teacher earns $30 USD per month, dont you all think this money that he has stolen could be used to help the people of Zimbabwe? Clearly this isnt where his priorites lie though...

well said there julhman...and as I and awt amongst others have asked these people so critical of the "evil" west but we are still awaiting an answer...what the heck are they doing living in the hated evil west and not in zimboland under their beloved great leader mugabe?? over 30yrs they have had the country under their control and look at the decline...!!! a crying shame.

Rhodie donkeys praising themselves: crap is the obvious result. Again, these rhodies must be kicked in the butt culturally: they have produced nothing of value aesthetically or intellectually, and that is because RHODESIAN CULTURE was trash, dung, and crap.

No wonder that this moribund culture produced cultural illiterates such as the troika supra.

Products of privilege, they now find themselves mangled by a culture that NEGATED their beloved culture: RHODESIAN CULTURE, the culture of rapists of African women and African girls, the culture of thieves---five fingered chickens---and the culture of DEGENRATES.

The main task of the GNU is de-rhodification, a task launched by the SON OF AFRICA, Cde. Robert Mugabe, who helped kicked rhodies in the butt.

Either rhodies adopt tout court African values or they should ship out to cold and smelly London, from whence they hail.

The choice is clear: it is either African values or Western values.

We reject the Western tradition as FALSE; accordingly, RHODESIAN CULTURE, which tried hard to ape Western culture, stands condemned as TRASH.

Who kicked Rhodesian culture's ass?

MUGABE AND ZANU.

Those in the GNU who are fifth columnists will be cleansed; the way to the decadent West is wide open.

We cannot embrace the values of our enemies: INVADERS, RHODIES, AND GNU FIFTH COLUMNISTS. We reject, to reiterate, those values, the values of nihilists.

Strange "Richerson" you call the Rhodesian culture trash but you choose a name from that same culture. Better you call yourself "Bongo" or something.

Rmkooistra, better to call him Son-of-a-rich. I'm sure you get the meaning.

ZOLA, the man of GOD saying these things - NEVER ! Oh my GOD !

Hey Bongo,

Once again you add nothing.

You talk about the Rhodesian culture of "rapists of African women and African girls" well, I think you'll find the rape statistics under YOUR culture are alot higher.

In fact there are 0.457775 rapes per 1,000 people nearly 4 times as many as the UK which is listed at 0.142172 per 1,000 people. Thats disgusting! Zimbabwean men are filthy rapists and should be ashamed of themselves. 7th highest in the world. You cant blame sanctions on that, only your insecure criminal selves.

As for murder rates, not only are you a bunch of rapists, but you are a bunch of murderers too, 0.0749938 per 1,000 people, over 5 times higher than the UK at 0.0140633 per 1,000 people.

So I dont think you really are in a situation to make bold incorrect assumptions about rape and murder when your country is full of rapists and murderers who are running free because your government is too corrupt to put a judicial system in place that is fair and impartial.

You say "The choice is clear: it is either African values or Western values."

Well... I think I have shown who's values I would rather have. What about you? Prefer to rape and murder I bet.

You say "We cannot embrace the values of our enemies... We reject, to reiterate, those values, the values of nihilists."

So you would rather remain a bunch of murdering rapists?

Your call.

Heh,heh, 'Bongo'. That's a good one rmkooistra. I wasn't suprised to see awt pick up on that right away. I may use it myself.LOL

Mugabe told Bongo that from now on all Zimbabweans are one big family. That they are very happy together in the new GNU at the moment. Only little problems in the future. Bongo very very happy with all this new birthdayparties. So Bongo decided also to make Mugabe happy. Bongo tells Mugabe they must be double happy. They told Bongo there is no future in Zimbabwe.

O eh Bongo, if you want to try to "eradicate the cultural remains of Rhodesia" please do not forget Robert Gabriel, Grace, Augustine, Patrick and some more of that gang.

Rmkooistra, if all the afore mentioned did not like the rhodesian culture? then why did and where did they get their education?

Zola, one of them is even named "Robert Gabriel." What an indigenous name!

You are right KJRS, gabriel is a jewish name, an arch angel infact. how western that name is.

Richerson / jallohlaw, do you realize what a nasty statement you have made of your African women? You owe your women an apology. You skunk.

Bongo means black skin-white heart. But you don't have a heart, you have a banana.

Jallohlaw, I presume Rhodie means one born in Rhodesia. If that is the case then you are calling the wrong people Rhodies. Mugabe was born 1924 in Rhodesia so that makes him a real and true Rhodie including every other born during those times. If you were born before independence then guess what you are a Rhodie too and welcome to Mugabe's club of Rhodies.

Well said KRJS!!! they still do not get the gist of things. I doubt they have heard the saying that small minds discuss people great minds discuss ideas!!!

N/A ,you all need to read what you are posting because your ' small minds discuss people' is really all you guys talk about. Bring Mugabe down, bring Mugabe down, bring Mugabe down. Now WHO has the SMALL MIND ?

Kubatana you ask " who has the small mind?' You of course. That goes without saying. If you were not so stupid, you would have enough money and to spare to run Zimbabwe. Zanu-PF has failed miserably. You don't even know how to patch your pot-holed roads leading to deaths let alone govern. Those fools who haphazardly left the supposedly heap of dried up tar on the road that lead to the death of Mrs Tsvangirai, shows the state of your whole country's well being. Careless and totally neglected. If that is what you and your Zanu-PF great minds produce, then just shut your mouth.

KJRS, don't worry we Zimbabwean's will never give up on you. We've all concluded that you are a basket case and you are one that hopefully one day we will see you and your cronies visiting (Don't stay) Zimbabwe and we can laugh at you. You are a joke !

Well done kjrs, mugabe a Rhodie, now that is funny, but something even funnier, is that takunya, chokora, richieson, kubatana and co are rhodies which they hate so much, they hate themselves, now no wonder they are so mad. they don't like themselves.

Budha, I'm sure that the 88 is the amount of brain cells Rhodesia88, Son-of-a-rich,BillyBong has.

AWT:

One of your best, again, factual, which begs the question of where do one's value lay side of a values judgement does J-hollow, er, Richer want to be seen on?

Whatever name the supporters of ZANU-PF/Mugabe post under on this board, answer us how ZANU-PF/Mugabe's rule has IMPROVED the life of Zimbabweans, "life expectancy"? NOPE, since the people of Rhodesia became the people of Zimbabwe, life expectancy has dropped rather dramatically. Living Standards? Nope, schools and hospitals are closed, disease is rampant. Less than half the population gets enough to eat! These are the symptoms of a failed post-liberation government who took power for the sake of power and actually managed to reduce the standard of living.......

You have to ask what kind of Kool-Aid some of these guys drink! They support a barbaric and brutal dictator!

Anyway, "Total Empowerment!"

indie, more lies,lies,lies from you!

THAT's the J-hollow I know and love!

Name-calling and glaring omission of ANY facts in his post is the signature characteristic of J-hollow! He uses slightly less BIG words, but his doggeral is the same. He criticizes without alternative options, uses semi-BIG words to hide behind but basically contributes NOTHING to the coversation other than hate!

"Troika Supra"? How can you possibly think to camoflage your identity using arcane words like that?

You can change your avatar J-hollow, but a "leopard cannot change it's spots". Once a Troll for the JOC/CIO on ALLAFRICA, always a Troll for the CIO/JOC on ALLAFRICA!

"Total Empowerment"! you Troll!

Oh yeah?

Most of us here don't change our monikers when the abuse gets to much!

Have you changed your stripes J-hollow? The rest of us know a tiger can't change his stripes............

Again, you offer NOTHING to any discussion on this board whether you call yourself "J-hollow" or "Richer" - both point to your connections with the kleptocarcy in Harare! Either you are hollow for the hollow slogans you chant here or you are richer because you profit on the misery that is present day Zimbabwe. Either way, people like you are the real loser in ZImbabwe!

"Total Empowerment!"

Well let's think positive. At least the name Zimbabwe was well choosen. Are there any more countries named after a ruin?

Under smith - the Black could not vote under smith - the Black could not own land under smith - the Black use the toilet in the city centre under smith - the job prospects for Blacks were limited under smith - the Black earned far less that the white under smith - 100 000 Blacks were killed under smith - 1000's were jailed for no reason under smith - The list goes on and on. smith and his rhodesian government should have been taken to the Hague for crimes against Blacks.

Kubatana, It is a great shame that having gone through all that, the people of Zimbabwe are no better off. Now they don't even have that job or wage to feed their families. As not everyone can be a teacher, lawyer, doctor or other professional, thousands of people were employed. What happened to the manufacturing sector that employed so many, the roads department, the construction industry, factories and so many other jobs? Mugabe took care of all that and now you have over 80% unemployment. Even menial jobs cannot be found. Over 4 million Zimbabweans have quit in desperation making an all time history in your country. You talk about voting. Yes now you can vote but for whom? Only for Mugabe. Vote for someone else and you are found mince meat the following day. If you were to stand in town somewhere and hold a banner that said something as innocent as "Mugabe needs to retire," you too would be jailed "for no reason." Are you better off? No freedom my friend.

kjrs, the LAND is our freedom. 85 % unemployment , inflation by the millions, no DOLE system - Zimbabwean's are VERY STRONG PEOPLE ! The jobs, money ect will soon come back and more importantly the land will be totally OURS. We Zimbabwean's can and will do it - and that is what you FEAR !

Kub, the world wants Zimbabwe to get better, instead of holding out for the next dole cheque from the world bank. if zim is so strong, then why has zim failed so much, why isn't zim able to stand on it's own feet?

zola, what you are right about is that most of the world do want to see Zimbabwe get - SO WHY NOT YOU AND YOUR rhodie BAAS'S ? I now know that you are Black. But you are one that's tried the Ambi skin lightening cream and has worked for a rhodie as a kitchen boy. I feel sorry for your little brain washed soul.

Kub, you should try to use camphor cream some time or are you too scared that you might start looking like Micheal jackson. A black man who's turning white and he loves it. My Rhodie baa's say my boy , be very very careful, these nyoka nymazan mugabe not good, He is a mukuru bobijaan. We rhodie say we go now, Hambagashle. Now look at the country.

Julman, you say it as it is, well done. These bozo's don't realise that they are wallowing around in their own muck and they think it is a sweet aroma.

Kubatana, everybody in the world, their land is their freedom and belongs to them. Nothing unique about that. The difference is you are starving in spite of your land and your "freedom" and are expecting those who have made good of their land and freedom to feed you. I have no fear of Zimbabwe to thriving. The sooner you buck up the better for me because as of now you are a liability because my tax dollars are what feeds your hungry.

kjrs, you cannot pay us enough for the damage you've done to Zimbabwe and indeed Africa. As for your 'tax payers money' - you need to address YOUR GOVERNMENT about it. I bet they only giving it to get some mining rights in the future. You do live in a democratic country don't you ? Just say no money for Zimbabwe to YOUR GOVERNMENT and see if they will listen. I said it before and i will say it again - you are just an IDIOT !

kubatana, if you think my democratic government has given you aid only for future mining rights, then return their money. You are getting yourself all twisted. Let me spell the meaning of " mining rights" out to you. If your government grants "Mining rights" to my government that means that your government has said " It is OK for you to come and do mining in my country." Mutual agreement.

Juhlman,

Rhodesian statics were overly positive and largely white Rhodesian propaganda, far worse than Mugabe. Statics from the Ian Smith are suspect. A white minority regime trying to stay in power will do anything to paint a good rosy picture. Also, Smith is gone and dead, really our focus is the new nation of Zimbabwe. Most of us simply do not care about Rhodesia. I'm not fighting to reinstall "white minority Rhodesia" , but to install a more democratic state of Zimbabwe. Ian Smith apologists boasted that he would have thousands attend his funeral. That he was so loved by black people that they would die for him. Yet, at his death, there really was no sadness. He died largely a lonely man and without a country to claim. Ohhh yes, BBC carried a lot of commentaries from the white Rhodesian community in the UK. Join me in fighting for a better Zimbabwe, not to restore Ian Smith and his whiite crazes!

Phiri, you are so insecure. How on earth does one restore Ian Smith, a dead man? Blow oxygen into his bones? You talk of "A white minority regime" painting a rosy picture to stay in power, well what about the minority regime of a black people led by Mugabe also painting the very same rosy picture. All Zanu- pf will NEVER admit that Mugabe sucks in spite of the appalling conditions Zimbabwe is in. They all paint a rosy picture and you did that too once upon a time. Remember? Be fair.
