Zimbabwe: Last White Farmers Face Arrest

ARARE – The Zimbabwean government says it will soon arrest white farmers who failed to meet a weekend deadline to move out of their properties to make way for newly resettled black farmers.

State Security Minister Didymus Mutasa, who is also in charge of land reforms, told ZimOnline on Monday that the police will swoop on the defiant white farmers who ignored the 3 February deadline to quit their farms.

Under the government’s Gazetted Farms (Consequential Provisions) Act, white farmers had until last Saturday to move out of the properties or face arrest.

At least 150 out of the remaining 600 white farmers were issued with eviction notices last year under the new Act.

The main white farmer representative body, the Commercial Farmers Union (CFU) at the weekend advised its members to defy the directive to move out saying arrests were the only way their case could be heard.

“We are still assessing who is gone and who has refused. Those who are clever have already left their farms as required by law.

“Those that are saying they will defy the law will soon find out that they are not clever at all when the police start doing their job. They will be arrested,” said Mutasa.

Mutasa is a close confidante of President Robert Mugabe. The security minister last month caused a stir when he said that the government was going ahead with plans to weed out all the remaining white farmers with only a "few lucky ones" to remain on their properties.

“We want to bring finality to the land issue and those who stubbornly stand in our way will face the music.

“We have enough laws, enough jails for anyone who compromises government policies by deliberately breaking the law. We are not afraid of white farmers, and our history shows that," added Mutasa.

Between 400 and 600 white farmers remain on the land out of the about 4 000 who were farming in Zimbabwe before the government launched its chaotic and often violent land redistribution exercise seven years ago.

Zimbabwe, which is grappling with its worst ever economic recession, has since 2000 relied on food imports and handouts from international food agencies because the new black farmers failed to maintain production on the former white farms.

If you are the alternative, then I am ok with letting in the non-white immigrants.

They seem to have been good for us so far. We're only the wealthiest, most advanced and most powerful nation that has ever existed, thats all.

I'd rather have 100 African immigrants than one 88punx.

This is a translation of a caption in the Afrikaans Daily, Beeld Monday January 29, 2007. The report coming from London deals with the murder of Mr. David Rattray, a fundi on the Anglo-Zulu wars in South Africa and a friend of Prince Charles.

Rattray was killed on Friday night in his farmhouse on the farm Fugitive’s Drift Lodge in Kwa Zulu Natal. He was also known as “the white Zulu”. With the South African report there are a number of press clippings – reports of Rattray’s murder in British newspapers. If one takes into consideration the number of whites killed in South Africa by blacks on an almost daily basis, Rattray’s murder should not have been so sensational, was it not for the comments of his sister Julia to the newspaper.

She said that Rattray spent his whole life uplifting the Zulu community and was senselessly killed by them. He brought food to their tables and gave them back their dignity, he treated them with respect and then she makes this startling statement – “we will find it difficult to forgive his murder”.

This is quite an enlightened statement to make coming from white liberals who obviously don’t know the eternal dividing lines of race. It is a fact that whites are being killed by blacks because they are white. It is a fact that you have quite a large number of white criminals in South Africa, but blacks are the biggest contributors to crime. And that is the reason why capital punishment cannot be brought back to South Africa because blacks will be hanged by blacks.

Whites will have to learn that it is not racist to defend and support your own for survival. It is racism to attack and vilify your own for the favor of being called a white liberal. If we refuse to learn from the lessons of history we will have to repeat it. What we are witnessing is ethnic cleansing with the government’s approval.
