Seventy percent of the land lies fallow—that is land acquired by the ANC (the African National Congress) from whites, on a “willing buyer, willing seller” basis, to give to blacks.
This, the Economist confirms (Aug 23rd 2018), while advising on how to “improve” the process of handing over large-scale commercial farms that feed the nation, to subsistence farmers who can barely feed themselves.
After all, these land recipients are bad farmers only “because new black farmers receive [so] little help.”

UPDATED (10/10/018): Farm Murders:
We’ve had 9 farm attacks & 4 farm murders in South Africa this week.
1 of the farmers was murdered down the road from my girlfiend’s house in Wellington.
We’re in a war that we did not ask for but we have a duty to defend ourselves & our families

I love this meme. It beautifully and succinctly encapsulates the doublethink that is required to be a good progressive today. pic.twitter.com/ajI14rvykM
