I had a farm in SAfrica: but ANC destroyed it…

The ANC regime’s shocking neglect of the more than 65,000 commercial farms it has already confiscated since 1994 can best be illustrated with ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures. 

Even more ominous is the fact that the regime has lodged yet another new Bill to confiscate even more land, ‘ in the public interest ’ but nobody knows what they intend doing with that land: more than 94% of all their confiscated farms are idle, and  now look like the one below:  link:

Eyewitness accounts, Oct 2011:

Pieter Oosthuizen commented on Oct 6 2011 that his sister drove last weekend from Jan Kempdorp to Johannesburg – and that along the entire 400km distance, there only were three farms still planted with food-crops. “It used to be one continuous display of productive farms the entire distance. Now, most of the land has been torched and covered in weeds.’

Stephanie Vouros “driving to Witbank on Oct 5 2011, one could only discern barren earth. Outside Ogies there used to be lush farm-lands, now it’s just barren soil as far as the eye can see. Almost as if all the farmers decided to stop planting altogether, or they have been murdered. The farm-houses have broken-out windows and there’s no livestock – and right up to Middelburg it was the same dismal scenery. We are facing a massive famine.’ 

KOMATIEPOORTFARM BEFORE1 This lush, well-maintained and highly productive sugar/citrus/banana farm outside Komatiepoort was taken over in perfect conditon by the ANC-regime in April 2007 – and below is what it looks like in October 2011:

This farm right next to the Ngwenya Lodge in Komatiepoort was sold to the SA government 3 years ago -  and this is what it looked like in the first week of October 2011. An aerial picture taken from a helicopter also shows that the entire homestead ‘s roof has disappeared: just the empty shell of a once flourishing homestead remains. What is happening to South African food-supplies and commodity prices if all 85,000 commercial farms are destroyed? The ANC regime by the end of 2010 had already confiscated 65,000 once very productive farms just like these…and still want more of them. But to what end?

ANC-regime lodges new Bill for land-confiscation ‘in the public interest”: the ethnic-cleansing of white land-owners continues:

FARMERS WANT SELF-DEFENCE COMMANDOS

LIMPOPO Letsitele Valley – Local farmers urge reinstatement of the self-defence rural commando system after there were another five farm-murders in their region in February. The latest two farmers to be murdered in South Africa are Belgian farmer Etienne Cannaerts (61), kidnapped and found with his throat slashed near Ellisras/Lephalale on Friday. A day later farm manager Paul Dunn (49), of Constantia Citrus Products in the Letsitele valley outside Tzaneen was shot dead during a fierce gunfight with three attackers inside his homestead. A total of five people were murdered on Limpopo farms in February said Dr. Theo de Jager, vice-president of Agri SA. “People are angry. Many farmers phone me, demanding for the reinstatement of the (citizen-volunteer) commando system.”

Dunn Paul 49 farm manager Limpopo Constantia Citrus murdered Feb282010The Transvaal Agricultural Union of South Africa wants the SAPS to acknowledge the legality of their volunteer farm-watch system ‘s use of green flashing lights on their patrol vehicles. “The police insist that green patrol lights are ‘illegal’ and have clashed with TAU-SA several times about their use’, said TAU-SA in a statement issued after the latest farmmurders in Limpopo.

Local farmer Japie Ellis of the Lephalale area told Beeld newspaperthat Belgian-born farmer Etienne Cannaerts probably was attacked and kidnapped after he had opened his farm gate upon his return from offloading his workers on Friday. “The attackers drove Cannaerts in his own vehicle to a water-pan on the farm, his hands and feet were tied up and his throat was then cut. “His body was found that night on a remote farm road,’ said Ellis. Police superintendent Ronel Otto confirmed that nothing was robbed.

A family friend of the Cannaerts couple Mr Marco Ruiter said the murderwas ‘gruesome. “Cannaerts and his wife Ingrid lived on the farm for the past six years. They do not have South African citizenship. We do not want to talk about it. Mr Cannaerts’ body is being shipped to Belgium for a post-mortem examination and he will be buried there,’ said Ruiter.

And Dries Enslin, chairman of Agri-Letaba, said that farm manager Paul Dunn, left, died in the ensuing gunfight after he more than likely was alerted to three attackers breaking into his homestead again – and in the firefight Dunn injured one attacker before he was shot dead. The farm manager was shot in the chest, neck, right arm and back. Superintendent Otto said ‘various household goods were stolen’. The injured attacker was traced by his blood trail followed by local farmers who also used a private helicopter to locate the injured gunman. He’s now under police guard at a local hospital.

Enslin said that in this region alone a total of twelve crime-incidents occurred in the past ten days on Letsitele farms. said Doors Le Roux chairman of TAU-SA in the district. They have asked for an urgent meeting with the local ANC-MEC in charge of security for Limpopo province and police commissioner cdr. Calvin Sengani to ‘discuss the issue’. The Letsitele-area farmers participate in the sector-policing programme of the SAPS and have a ‘good relationship’ with the local police – but that much more obviously needs to be done.As it happens Agri-SA is holding a crime-conference in Centurion on Monday in which the lack of security on farms countrywide will also be ‘discussed’ with Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa.
