South Africa: Ruined Farm: You Bastards will stay poor...

Getting photos of farms which were handed over to the blacks is not easy, especially if they failed. The Government really doesn't want to advertise this. Yet there must be hundreds of such farms.

These photos are from another fantastic farm - this time a grape farm - which was handed over to the blacks in South Africa via the normal land reform procedure. And look at what a mess it is.

A while back I mentioned a Special Assignment program which showed one farm which succeeded (the one which was run by a white man on behalf of the blacks and which got lots of capital injection afterwards!). This was the other one - the failure which they showed on the same program.

This grape farm was called Blinkwater, which is Afrikaans meaning "bright water".

But first of all, I must show you this. This writing was on one of the walls of the ruined farm house. It was a message left to the blacks by the white farmer who lost his land. It reads: "You bastards will stay poor the rest of your lives". And what an accurate prophecy it was by the White farmer.




The White farmer's bitter message is on the wall...


Of the ruined farm house. Look at it now. The roof is gone, the doors and windows have been ripped out...











This Black man, is the only remaining black person on the farm. All the other blacks to whom the farm was given, are now GONE...



The black guy spoke in Afrikaans, and so they put these English subtitles in. These subtitles are worth reading because you will "get the story from the horse's mouth" so to speak. In this case, he is talking about the reservoir which used to irrigate the grapes. The starters and pumps were stolen... (by blacks of course!). So the blacks steal from the blacks. The whole thing is a complete mess. You'll see more of this insanity later further down.








 

 

The rusting pipes...

 

Even the pumps are gone... stolen...

 

The reservoir is now dry...

 

This is what's left of a once fine vineyard...

 

Looking out over the farm...

 

The black guy says the former White owner took the air conditioner with him...

 

The "they" the black man is referring to, is the Government. He says he thinks the Government wants everything to die. (I doubt it - but its an example of blacks now passing the buck - nobody wants to take responsibility).

 

He is once more referring to the South African Government changing its tune from day to day. (So what's new?)

 

 

Now here we see blacks struggling with other blacks. Blacks stealing from other blacks. This last remaining black guy now also has to police the place. Here he catches another black man walking around on the farm with a wood saw. He asks him what he's doing here. This black man, like many others, are cutting down trees on the farm for firewood for themselves.

 

Here you can see some trees have been cut...

 

Here is a pile of wood cut by other blacks who don't live on this farm. Isn't this cool? Now instead of blacks trespassing and ruining white-owned farms, we have blacks trespassing and ruining what's left of a ruined black-owned farm! Poetic justice I say.

 

This woman is also not supposed to be on this farm. He has some words with her.

 

He is saying the grapes will probably be dead by the next season.


Yes, all the simple daily routines have now stopped. This is typical of the way in which blacks work.



The End.
