Clearly, hate speech only works in one direction in this country... :mad:

Cape Town - Julius Malema has told farmworkers in Worcester they can be the “bosses” of the farm owners.

The Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) leader addressed workers and community members who packed a hall in Zwelethemba, outside the Boland town, on Sunday.

Malema promised that if the EFF was voted into power it would return land to Africans and nationalise the mines and sea for fishing.

“You can own a farm. You can produce wine, because it is you that produce it now. You can even sell that wine outside South Africa,” he said.

“It sounds like a dream but will happen. Why should you think you should be the one working and not the other way around and employ your boss of today. He can be your employee tomorrow.”

Malema had a blitz tour of the Western Cape this weekend.

He visited a fisher community in Hawston, Khoisan traditional leaders in Muizenberg and held a mass meeting in Khayelitsha on Saturday.

Malema said his party was speaking to the fishing and farming community about their problems before they drew up an election manifesto.

The EFF said it aimed to restore the dignity of farmworkers.

“Like today, there are still people who think white people are created by God to own farms and give you jobs. It is not like that,” Malema said. “That mindset must go away. You are your own boss. You must be the boss of everybody in this town.”

Malema said good education was the most important factor in ensuring the EFF’s revolution was sustainable.

“That (educated) child will get you from a shack to a mansion,” he shouted.

Malema warned against drugs, abuse of alcohol and xenophobia.

“Xenophobia is what white people like, rejoicing in blacks killing each other. Cape Town is full of foreigners, they are white but they are never beaten. But those are people who have taken your land, those are the people who have taken your economy but you never beat them. You beat fellow Africans,” he said.

Malema said he could understand why the DA had won the 2009 elections in the Western Cape.

“You are forgiven for voting for Helen Zille. It is because you did not have an alternative. But now you have one in us,” he said.

He told his audience that people should remember that “white people don’t vote for black people but you people voted for a white person”.

The EFF was seeking to win one million votes in the Western Cape, party officials claimed.

In 2009 the DA was the only party to win more than a million votes in the province.

Sure they can.

All they have to do is buy the farm, all the equipment and dwellings, study agriculture and farm management.

Just one question fatboy - if all the workers are farm owners, who will do the work ?!
 
And who will manage it? A lot of brain power goes into managing a farm. You need to be skilled in a multitude of business and other disciplines to productively manage a farm.

Some people think riches come naturally because you are entitled to it.

Some people will get a rude awakening very soon.

Farming is a very difficult profession. You need some sort of training (which the workers don't have - at least from a management perspective), you need to toil for 6 days a week from dawn until dusk etc, you need to deal with workers being severely hungover on Monday etc.

I'll tell you this - I wouldn't choose to be a farmer...

Why are you inferring things that were never said to begin with?

Also if they are so clever and skilled why are they working for peanuts on a farm then?

When every farm worker has a farm who will do the work? One owner to do the work of 100 people?
Or are you saying they should all own a part of one farm?
And then who will be king of the hill? To many chiefs and no Indians?
 
Buying a piano doesn't make you a pianist.
Being a piano maker doesn't make you a pianist
Being a piano tuner doesn't make you pianist.
Being a piano cleaner doesn't make you a pianist.

It doesn't stop you to buy your own piano and trying though, mostly they gather dust and never get to be used as intended.
But hey. Playing a piano isn't in something you are born with it is something you learn... unless you are not musical and tone deaf and willing not to put in 10 000 hours anybody can be a pianist.

So who will be the idiot boss and who said the whiteys woild work for such idiot. There are many examples where this notion was tried and it failed. WHY?????????????????????????????????????????????????

Fill in the words:

Because ............slack......lazy........useless...........idiotic........unskilled.........brainwashed........idiots......expect .....everything.......... for free................never...........achieved......


Carry on and enjoy yourself! Then vote for your possible future dictator Malema and let us see how far this country gets. Just look at it now and be amazed at the level of crime corruption and stupidity. With Malema it will be even worse and you would pray for another Verwoerd idiot just to save your ass!

There is enough proof that without the real farmer (just a different word for the farm manager/owner with the knowledge of farming and required commitment of a real farmer) everything has gone to waste, get of you stupid high horse and look at the failures as compared to the successes in the last twenty years you brainwashed EFF twit!

I am sure I will get my first infraction for this, well deserved but at least I will know why!

Some 90% of farms redistributed to South Africa's black population from white farmers are not productive, the government has said.

Land reform minister Gugile Nkwinti warned the land might be repossessed if the farms continued to fail.

Almost 60,000 sq km (23,000 sq miles) have been redistributed under policies aimed at benefiting black people who were left impoverished by apartheid.

The land was bought from white farmers who sold up voluntarily.

Black doesn't make them incapable ... but it does have an incidental (and regrettable) causality in the whole equation.
 
... and an idiot can be president, if he can get enough idiots to believe in him.

He stared reality straight into the face and realised something very important!

Shame! Not everyone can be a success, that includes me for that matter! ;)

Does the word Zimbabwe ring a bell ?

Bread basket of Africa, EFF mentality occurs, farms taken over, bread basket gone, replaced with hands out.
 
Obviously he doesn't understand the difference between ''producing'' and ''providing the labour''. Some of those farmers have been doing it for 8 generations. Good luck replacing those skills overnight!

Just today I overhead a factory worker saying that the foreigners owe the shops that are actually theirs :< The sad thing is that our foreigners outperform the local workforce on almost every level, including entrepreneurship.
