ANCYL warns of land grabs

Anyone who does not take this seriously is living in a dream world.

Believing these people are misguided fools/idiots/etc is at your own peril.
They are largely filled with hate and racist tendancies, most of them were born in the free new South Africa but their minds have been poisoned by uncontrolled rhetoric that the ruling party, the ANC, turns a blind eye to because it suites their political goals.

The ANC has failed them completely in almost every aspect of life in South Africa from health to education to job creation.
The natural response is to blame the old enemy, the white population of this country.
The more pressure that is put on the ANC by opposition, the more regular these statements will become, until one day it happens for real.

Take the smoke and mirrors away and this is exactly what happened in Zimbabwe.
There is an excellent speech by Roy Bennet of the MDC and the parallels of what happened up north, and what is happening here now are so similar, it cannot be ignored.

The bottom line is that no matter what white people do in this country, they will always have a big bullseye on their backs due to ANC failure to deliver and their complete and utter inability and lack of political will to govern efficiently.
The only interests they have are lining the pockets of the elite.

Some extracts from RB's speech. Its a chilling read in full.

The key to understanding the land invasions is to look at motive. Why did Zanu-PF endorse and organise the land seizures? The rhetoric of land reform and the constant harping about race and inequality was another smokescreen.The fundamental reason was political-Zanu's grip on power had been threatened.

It was a deliberate attempt to appeal to base instincts-and to cash in on some cheap gratitude. The evidence is more than circumstantial. In private conversations, Zanu leaders made explicit reference to this rationale. In one document from a sensitive source, Eddison Zvobgo, a senior member of the party, says that he regretted the economic chaos that would result from the invasions but remarks that it had to be done for electoral reasons.

But it's not just a problem for Zimbabwe. We are not just breeding and importing disease and destruction, we are exporting it as well. Most strikingly, the Zimbabwean cancer is spreading to South Africa.

The president of the ANC Youth League, Julius Malema, visited Zimbabwe to learn some of the tricks of the trade from our Minister for Indigenisation, the ironically-named Saviour Kasukuwere. Malema probably thought he had to give them something back, so he taught them the song, ‘Kill the boer', which was banned in South Africa-though they changed the lyrics to ‘Kill Roy Bennett'.

So what are you going to do about this?

[evilstebunny]

Was thinking the exact same thing ..

[Sneeky]

As a middle aged umlungu with a bulls eye on his back, I'm open to suggestions.

What was it, the ANC will rule till Jesus comes or something like that.
Well, I don't subscribe to imaginary friends, but for the sake of responding to that, he is coming sooner than we think, but he will bring the devil with him.

My humble opinion? Time to get out .. once the ignorant take over there's no salvaging this country.

This is how Zim started, and say what you want it's a direct threat against whites. Racism/no racism if you think ANC learership can/want to stop this you're deluded. Also no help reasoning or pointing out to them what it did to Zim, this is not thinking people you're dealing with they don't care if Rome burns or not.

Lamola said it was expected that white South Africans and investors would flee the country when "militant and aggressive" legislature was implemented.

Pessimistic? Quite, but then we've been sliding towards this for a while - I'd say since Zuma scammed his way into office. Stay and fight? I can handle a gun but I'm over the hill, my two daughters deserve a better chance away from this lunacy though.

I've got some investments coming free, will keep my eyes on things but going to keep it liquid just in case.

Any other opinions?

Pretty much summed up what most clever people are thinking. Those that want to stay and call anyone leaving chicken, put your head back in the sand until you wake up to the harsh reality one day.

You're all forgetting one big thing.

The banks. They control this country, not the government

This country will follow in Zimbabwe's footsteps, the question is when will it all happen. I think we should all understand something about people, it doesn't really matter if those people are African or European. If poor people are currently not benefiting from South Africa's economic opportunities and growth, why should they support the constitution and especially section 25 of the constitution? If the majority of people in this country live in abject poverty, live in shacks, don't have adequate access to electricity, water and sanitation then why should they support a political process or a constitution that benefit a few people in this country? Those few people might be the few black elites, white elites, etc. If land grabs occur then how much will life change for the majority of poor people in this country? My guess is not by much. They'll still live in shacks, they'll still have inadequate access to water, electricity and sanitation. They'll still be poor.

People in the middle class, who make up a minority of the population of this country are the ones that benefit from this country's opportunities. They are the ones that were lucky enough to come across opportunities and being brought up to go to school and work for a living. They are the ones that have adequate access to water, electricity and sanitation. They are the ones that even have access to the internet, like yours truly. Their lives will change dramatically for the worst if land grabs occur.

My point is that we shouldn't be surprised when the tsunami hits. The only way we can stop the tsunami is to stop being computer politicians and actually go out there and make a difference. Poor people don't have stupidity imprinted in them. A bit of attitude change and positive role models change make all the difference.

Poor people don't have stupidity imprinted in them

Yet they keep voting into power the same people that treat them like crap.

[Picard]

The ANCYL want white people to fear them. The are failing miserably.

This just increases the contempt people have for them.

[marine1]

Exactly
But we still have our usual lefties in this place that think things are just peachy

[JIMMYtheSKULL]

Feel sorry for all the people that are stuck here with no way out if **** goes down... Myself included.
