Zimbabwe’s government has for the first time suggested it might give permission for some white farmers to stay on the land, 15 years after it sanctioned land grabs that pushed the country into an economic crisis.
Douglas Mombeshora, the land minister, said provincial leaders had been asked to draw up a list of white farmers whom they wanted to stay on farms deemed to be “of strategic economic importance”.
“We do not have a separate policy for white people when it comes to land distribution. We have asked provinces to give us the names of white farmers they want to remain on farms so that we can give them security of tenure documents to enable them to plan their operations properly,” he said.
More than 4000 white farmers lost their land after Mugabe lost a referendum on a new constitution and, in an attempt to regain popularity, authorised land grabs by disaffected war veterans.
Today, fewer than 300 white farmers remain and many of the seized farms lie fallow, meaning Zimbabwe has to import food.-TimesLive

your lack of knowledge is a poor substitute of intelligence,
Bullshit, you cannot manage on your own and every single black country and community proves it, if the west did not give Africa billions in aid every year, there would be far fewer Africans.
I don’t know what bullshit news channel you watch but in the real world Africans are risking life and limb to get to white peoples countries, while Africans starve and die of illness back home.
When ebola came you losers were crying about why the west was not helping, now you come with this black bullshit.
You have no intelligence or shame.
and we dont need your aid. thats why your dad was chased away from the farms simply because we can manage on our own. as a matter of fact there are a lot of children studying electronic engineering without ur help. so if you dont mind excuse us
No I don’t, why should I? What can I do for them? Absolutely nothing!
But I can change the fate of some poor child from Nkayi who would like to go to bed with a full belly, get good medical care, housing and study electronic engineering.
lol, just like your fathers you dont even think about the lives of blacks destroyed by Rhodes…..surely we share nothing in common. zimbabwe for zimbabweans long hail president Mugabe….
Go back to the past you fool, while your present and future vanish before your very eyes.
You are a pig of a fool, all you clowns can think about is whites, try thinking about black people for a change you azzhole.
Mugabe and Zanu have destroyed the lives of about 40 000 white people and about 10 000 000 black people, that’s what you are celebrating you racist twat.
when your ancestors brought sadness during colonisation you yo didnt see it you moron. when you took our land you didnt see sadness in the eyes of our ancestors huh. i dont blame the zim president for his action. you whites deserve every part of it. you belong in Europe just as a reminder. and stop saying facts from an African’s perspective.
You are a racist fool and like all racist fools you bring nothing to this world except sadness.
You rightly belong wherever you are. I hope it is in Europe because any other part of the world is not the pinkie’s space. Don’t ever come back to Africa again, even for holidaying.
No I don’t, I am in exile because I refuse to be a second class citizen in my own country which is run by a mad savage dictator who says white people have no rights.
The idea that God created people in its image is just that an idea as nobody knows. However what scientific studies have found is that only black people was created. Everybody else is mutation of the black man. Thus in black people there is the totality of potential of man. It’s like copy and original. Copy cannot be stronger than original, superior than original, except if original is made to believe and does believe that it is inferior than copy. No “race” of people is more creative than black people. What has hampered the march of the black man then? Destruction of black civilizations through slavery, colonization, neo-colonization, faillure to grasp and teach the next generation the absolutely wicked, deceitful mind of the european and its consequences and education in foreign language. The last two aspects are most important as they perpetuate the negatives cycles. All scientific researches have demonstrated that a child learns faster, better in the mother tongue. If we were to use the mother tongue we would position ourselves to excel in math and math opens the door to pretty much all sciences. And combining the sciences with our unmatched potantial for creativity we would/could dominate the scientific field the same way we dominate track and field. One thing we need to understand is that a black person is black because of abondance of MELANIN and a white person is white because of poverty in MELANIN. The MELANIN protects the skin naturally, thus those with less are forced to protect themeselves artificially. But listen carefully the MELANIN fuels every activity of the body, physical, intellectual, psychological, sexual, feeling, etc. this substance is like the bloo of God. So if what i am saying about MELANIN is true then those with more and better quality of it cannot be inferior unless they actually believe that they are inferior. And this is the absolute trick of white supremacy: Do or say everything to convince those with natural superior potential that they are inferior…Africans do your research on MELANIN..
Yet you live in Africa!!! Sad indeed. Uri mboko chaiyo.
Rebuke your white boss first before you do that to me. So you find his vitriol more acceptable than mine? Asi unonyengwa naye neshure?
They always sing tunes that suit them. They do not have permanent friends but permanent interests. When they colonized Zimbabwe, they fragmented natives using the tribal card. Now they say Ndebeles are more progressive in comparison with the Shonas! In South Africa they say black South Africans are lazy and uneducated and therefore prefer to employ foreigners, yet the real reason behind all this is unwillingness to pay decent salaries. But I wonder why they do not move back to Europe if they find Africans so backward and disgusting.
There is enough wealth in Zimbabwe for 13 million blacks and 4000 white farmers. We have not even started mining. The Gold reefs in Zimbabwe are no different than those of Gold reef city in Jo’burg. Love is something if we give it away. All Zimbabweans black, white, Indian, colored, of common purpose let us come together and build a great nation
This racial vitriol does not move the country or the world forward. God mad men in his own image. when you see a black man you see the image of God and when you see a white man you see the love of God. Let us all love one another. Martin Luther King had a dream not only for America but for the whole world
these whites who complain a lot are the same white who created mugabe and helped him to kill our parents. when GOD has chosen Nkomo to lead the country the whites opposed him because of his links with the russians and of being more radical on the land issue than Mugabe, i remember in one of his statements, he said we dont want to take away land from the whites but we want to share the land and resources so that we could also uplift a black man. but because Mugabe was more quite you decided to go for him. Now because mugabe had nothing else to offer to the electorate but only land he turned against you. Remember the children of israel when they chose their own king against GODS will and what was the results. GOD does not chose a leader who divides his people along tribal lines, God does not chose a leader who kill his people, NKOMO was GOD chosen thats why even his zapu had people from the whole country, his cabinet was made of the shonas, ndebele, kalanga, tshangani, tonga, nambiya including his army. After helpin Mugabe to form a tribal part you also help him to dethrone Sithole just because he was not shona. NOw your own chosen but not god chosen who was taught by the same whites turned against you.
Strange how the Chaminuka’s of Zimbabwe can’t answer one simple question…why is it that the white folk will building beautiful castles and cathedrals and were wearing splendid clothes…900 years ago, yet we are now in the 21st Century and the majority of you still live in mud huts, walk everywhere, draw water from the rivers, use a candle for light, eat berries and bush meat, prefer witch doctors to medical practitioners, crap in the bush instead of using a China bowl, prefer using draught oxen to tractors, use badzas to dig for minerals instead of yellow equipment and and and!!! You can’t accuse the white man all those years ago and I don’t think you can blame it on sanctions either…so what excuse have you got comrades for not advancing with the times as the white folk have done. Don’t give me the Egyptian crap because I’m referring to blacks from sub Saharan Africa, not Arab folk from the North. I also want to know why your own kith and kin hacked and mutilated to death a million of your own people in 100 days without any white folk being involved, it was your doing as Mugabe did to the Ndebele in the 80’s. I’m referring to the Hutu Tutsi scenario where they hacked each other to death, men, women and children and flinging 6 month old babies onto bayonets etc. etc. etc. And you wonder why we question the savagery in you all????
Obama does what the American white folk tell him to do. If they didn’t he’d more than likely take America back to what Africa is today! There is no denying the fact that the West advances rapidly into the 21st Century while you idiots in Zimbabwe have taken the country back to the 19th Century, only because you stole the farms, plundered and looted them and have now left them fallow opting instead to rely on Western funded food aid from the West or from Zambia where all the ex Zim white farmers are farming. You have got that typical “let them build it and then we’ll steal it” attitude. You will never ever change, that is why NO white folk really trust any of you!!!!!
Put the crack pipe down, black people are some of the most vile racists on the planet.
That is the point, they cannot be trusted, how many more examples does the world need after 35 years of murder and looting?
Obama is not black you idiot, his brother is and look what happened to him.
South Africa is going exactly the same way, black people just do not have the experience or work ethic.
Hahahahaaaaaaaa, you call what Africans do “living”, give it a rest, 99% of Africa just exists.
You aint doing squat, all black Africans have done is murder and loot and then beg the west and white people for aid.
You and your retarded mentality will always be the downfall of Africa, you aint going nowhere except the same place every African country goes to.
Lol, that idiot has liberated you morons straight back into the stone age.
You will be surprised that many of us can outlive you. God is the one who harvests lives at times He sees appropriate. If you were Him, definitely you would kill Zimbabweans in the manner your ancestors hunted down Aborigines and native Americans.
Pinkies are an interesting lot. Shonas used to be obedient, loyal and less militant than the Ndebeles!! Today the Ndebeles are more constructive and progressive!! What an about turn! So you label Zimbabwe’s ethnic groups as situations suit you! And again you think we are so stupid not to see behind the smokescreen! I wish you well in attempting to drive a wedge among Zimbabweans on the basis of ethnicity. And brownies have ceased to be baboons! Really? But sure they qualify to be called savages by your standards. When your ancestors whipped my ancestors, raped them, disposed them of their land and stripped them of all forms of humanity it was development? And when we take back what rightly belongs to us, we become savages! So in your opinion there are no pinkies who have embraced the concept of living side by side with the brownies? You must surely be a victim of your racist upbringing and you are incorrigible. Continue to live in that dark past until you face the creator. You want us to keep your farms, kkkkkk! Who gave you those farms in the first place? Find time to read the racist land apportionment act. I think you will be able to disabuse yourself of this notion that pinkies own land in Zimbabwe. Yes there are Zimbabweans living in the diaspora, UK included. Yes, many of them left at the height of the economic meltdown. Let me be honest with you and admit that they wanted to fend for themselves and their loved ones. Home could not add value to them because there was no match between the economy and their qualifications, knowledge and experience. Notwithstanding the fact that the brownies left their country because of economic challenges, I think you should be the first one to accept that they have enabled you to retain your status as master because they work for you and your kith and kin in South Africa and UK. They have added value to you in your land of sojourn, value which South Africans or Britons could not add to you because the brownies are prepared to do anything in order to look after themselves. And you pay them peanuts. This is the reason why there are perpetual conflicts between them and South Africans, which manifests itself in the form of xenophobia. And when this happens, pinkies conclude that all brownies are savages because they kill each other. This is some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy because when you pay low salaries to non-South Africans, you can predict pretty well how brown South Africans will react. And you just sat down to eat rump and steak! Who said sadza and derere are not nourishing? Whose standards are you using to make the comparison? Again you display your superiority complex even through food, a God-given heritage. This confirms my assertion that pinkies’ perception of brownies cannot be changed regardless of how humankind tries to reason with them. So hondo yeminda was necessary to force you to change. And I am sure you do not take a Zimbabwean brownie for granted anymore.
I see a new zimbabwe where u are not judged by the colour of your skin or tribe. Where we concentrate on the future and not on the past. A future where there is no place for white or black, pink or brown racists. Where we as a nation love our country and it’s people. Where we see the potential we have been blessed with. May . God bless our country and the future generation regardless of tribe or race….come on people if you remain with bitterness and hatred it will gnaw at u…If you Hve left the country adapt and move on….stop looking behind you….just for the record many white farmers bought and paid for their farms with a certificate of no interest from the independent zim government
Yip. Let them starve.
Hey Comrades, judging by your comments “the truth hurts” whether you like it or not, you’ve destroyed everything in Zimbabwe and you cannot deny that. Those of you who have had your dirty hands in the honey jar, theft inc and looting obviously don’t want change, only because you’ve become accustomed to thieving. As I quite rightly pointed out, it must npbe a Shona thing because the Ndebele don’t have the same destructive tendencies! AND, never once have I ever referred to you lot as baboons…why, because all animals have a game plan in life, they are Africa’s chosen ones! Savage would be the correct description, because only savages go about killing and cutting off body parts as you’ve done. So get over it and face the facts. If you think there are white folk who see light at the end of the tunnel with you lot then I can only assume they are living on the dark side of the moon. Get 1000 white folk into a room and show me one who’d show a slight fpbit of respect for that uneducated idiot Munangagwa, if you can I’ll resettle you on a farm in First Street. You can keep our farms, but I want to know why there are a million of you living amongst the white folk in the UK and why 4 million of you ran away to work for white folk in South Africa? I’m intrigued as to why you shonas have all run away when your own brothers are murdering you and rigging the elections and and and. Why do you continue to beg the white man to come and mine your minerals for you with their equipment while you use badzas to do it? I’m just telling the truth as we all see it! Some prefer to remain quiet I like the world to know what you lot are all about! Now go and gadzera your sadza and derere while I sit down to my Rump Steak and vegetables!!!
No Stuart, go and farm in England or somewhere in Europe. You want cheap labour in Africa. Not only do you pay the “baboons” peanuts, you “praise” them for being loyal and hardworking. You know very well that the “monkeys” are creative but you appropriate their knowledge. You simply patent it and it becomes yours, and you smile all the way to the bank forever. And you turn back and say the “baboons” cannot survive on their own because they cannot invent or create because their brains are just round as reflected by their round huts. I always tell people around me that pink people do not change when it comes to how they perceive coffee people. Let me tell you Stuart that you are not white at all. You fool yourself by viewing yourself as white. Your skin is very similar to pig skin, which is pink as far as my eyes tell me. When I look at myself in the mirror, I do not see something black. I see a shade of brown. Over a period of time, you pink people have created a feeling of inferiority in us by labelling us black and stupid. I went to school with stupid pinks. I work with stupid pinks. Some of your people Stuart are so dull to a point of being imbeciles. Zimbabwe is moving on without you whether you like it or not. There are challenges, granted, but we will overcome them. And we do not need pinks to do that. Your wish to see us on our knees begging pinks to return en masse will not be granted even. The pinks that are being allowed to remain on farms are the ones who have embraced the brownies as equals. They have realized that it is better to integrate and work together with the owners of the land. The racists are gone and we will not take them back. Stuart order is slowly but surely evolving out of the confusion that started in early 2000s. Incase you live outside Zimbabwe, come and see people that do not wait for help from the state. Come and see people that are busy creating solutions to their problems. We have since dismissed the government from our lives. Whether politicians are there or not, we move on with our lives. In those difficult conditions, some people have made it without you the pinks. Stuart I am a moderate but you and your buddy have reawakened the anger and hatred that I used to experience as my grandparents used to narrate to us how “whities” forced our ancestors to work for nothing, chibharo in Shona. They were not only paid nothing, but were whipped as well. And you want me and my fellow brownies to respect you for that!! Stupid!!!!!!!!!
kikikiki uyu murungu uyu unoti haagone shona here? mashona varungu ava or ma ndebele pa language usavadherere. kikikiki
Hapana zvadzvanya, ndiwe nevarungu vako madzvanywa
We no longer need “intelligent” Uncle Toms, white farmers or white business persons here. Yes Blacks can. They can even lead USA.
@Dave Wood as long as fools like you still exist Gushungo has a lot of work to liberate us.
That’s what i have been telling people that blacks are nothing without a white man.Firstly you didn’ t want them in your country and now you are following them to South Africa and ask for work.Why you didn’t create jobs onthe farms that you evicted the white farmers
As long as Robber Mugabe and his bunch of racist, thieving, Zanu bandits hold onto power through their rigged elections, Zimbabwe will never come right. No intelligent White farmer or White businessmen will come back to save the despots in power today. They can carry on sinking in their own bed of crap that they created. It is economically better and more secure to go farming in Zambia, or Tanzania than to go gambling with your life and efforts in the racist Mugabe’s Zimbabwe. Follow their history and their multiple dumb statements over the years and it becomes very evident that Insanity reigns in the Zanu leadership. Goodbye, and good riddance. Hope you all starve to death. The world does not need fools and thieves, and murderers, like you have running your country.
Reign your horses Dave Wood! You spewing way too much ire and bitterness over a country that was never yours to colonise in the first place. Even in your self righteousness have no right to call Zimbabweans bastards. Its such racist tendencies that make the neutrals like me think maybe Uncle Bob was right after all to chuck you all out of his beloved Zim. You seem way too smitten on being a European descendant Dave and the fallacy of white supremacy has you sounding and acting like the uneducated, ignorant fool that you allude to in your article .
Who in their right mind will ever trust you again.
Sort out your own problems, there are lots of other places where white farmers are respected for what they bring to the countries.
First burn Mad Bob and all his cronies, including the 15 year old “War Veterans” at the stake and then maybe!!!
This was the second atrocity by Mad Bob against his own countrymen and still you lot are to spineless to bring him to book!!!!
It is racism you suffered for, Dylan Roofs! We are driving better cars out of our own pockets. We are building better houses because those obscenely low racist salary roofs and blockades you put on black business are no longer there.
You make a mistake of thinking that every native Zimbabwean is living off your previous farm and you can’t prosper wherever you are because there aren’t poor helpless blacks to use al next to free labor
You could not live forever oppressing blacks in their own country. If you had the boldness to laugh at him and call him a baboon every day while he allows you to benefit from stolen land and cattle, you called it upon yourselves.
If you are warm and happy in a pile of shit, keep your mouth shut, Dylan Roof!
Let the bastards starve!!! I want to see this scum grovel and beg us to come back to grow the crops for them. Whatever they’ve touched in Africa they’ve destroyed. I’m very inquisitive and I wonder if a comrade can answer the question for me…how come the Europeans were building castles and forts and houses out of brick and mortar with windows etc. over 900 years ago and they wore fancy clothes made out of satin, silk and cotton yet in the 21st Century you lot have’t got further than a “Mud Hut” ???? No only that, you’ve gone backwards by 150 years by destroying everything the white man helped build in Zimbabwe and instead of using tractors you’ve gone back to using draught oxen. Now you are eating the oxen so you are using donkeys or human power to pull your tilling equipment. You’ve reverted to walking instead of riding bicycles because the white folk are no longer around to generate funds and pay taxes. We refer to you lot as “born thieves” with the Shona thieves being the worst culprits. You’ve destroyed a once prosperous country and it will never ever be the same. You will always be defendant on the white folk to feed you and fund you. The IMF and World Bank are white run institutions, they are tired of dealing with you hopeless clowns. Even the Chinese have given up on you!!!! Trust me, the time will come when the white folk will recolonize the country, it might not be in my lifetime or during our kids lifetime, but it will happen! What a spineless, useless lot you all are! When I watch you on TV in parliament or officiating at some thieves function I cringe when I watch because you look, sound and act like uneducated, ignorant fools!!!!
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk*kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Zvadzvanya ka. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkl
