Zimbabwe to return land seized from foreign farmers

Zimbabwe has offered to return land to foreign nationals whose farms were seized under a controversial government programme two decades ago.

Thousands of white farmers were forced from their land, often violently, between 2000 and 2001.

The seizures were meant to redress colonial-era land grabs but contributed to the country's economic decline and ruined relations with the West.

A separate compensation scheme has been launched for local white farmers.

Some lessons in life can only be learned in retrospective.
But you can't say the warning signs weren't there.

Malaysia has a lot of similarities with Zimbabwe.
Tun and Mugabe has more than a couple teh tarik sessions.

White won't return la. Who will wanna put in effort and invest on a land that can be violently seized. Those farmers also old liao, maybe got new farm other place d, good luck

Difference is we got oil to prop up our failure of a country. Deswai can continue our racist policies and uphold the Ketuanan.

i say ady, for some reason some ppl are fixated on 'owning' things but they don't have the skill nor the knowledge to do it. ends up destroying it instead

lesson to be learned here. let the ppl who know what they are doing do the job. let these enterprises grow and it will benefit everyone in return. so no need demand ownership if u can't do it. later only need endless round of bailout and everyone is farked bcoz of that

Padan muka.
Aprika is such a resource rich continent.
But suka racing. N self centered. Corruption to the max.
Else the continent would flourish. But instead just the top people benefit from it.

“Penceroboh”, “tanah haram”… those r their countrymen but treated like foreigners in their own country. If skin colour different, treatment also different

Technologies r changing fast. We’re still stuck in o&g mentality

The point is to map out the chronology to show you the effect over time being played out

No worries. We’ll be there soon enough.

Both families got very very very rich, no?

see,we should bercukur amat banyak,at least we r not in shit hole country like this and many more similar,,,at least malaysia no war,peacefull country in my life time

History has a funny way of repeating itself

Bila nak beg durian farmer come back? Pandan mukak
