@ Hardwood, it seems your knowledge of african politics is wanting. Malema is not a good guys. Malema is a Mugabe in making. He preaches only hate and murder

Who said Mugabe was bad?

@Fullykenyan please answer the above question.
Also please indicate where Malema preached murder... you can indicate at what minute in his talks he said that. That would be beneficial...


@Fullykenyan is based in Kiashland thus he depends on western media for news on African continent and as we all know, western media provide an accurate representation of Africa.

Boss you are wrong. I know moreabout Africa than many living in Swenaniland.
Just go to Youtube and look for clips of malema adressing his supporters. They are full of hatred. Have you heard of his song, Kiss the boer? listen to it, if you have not
If Mugabe was that good as some of you are purpoting, why was he overthrown?

The more I think about it - the more I wonder what the future of SA will be. History speaks for itself... the less than 10% white people really f***ed up the over 80% of Africans on their own land and engineered Black failure. They seem to have organized themselves fairly well and built "their" side. Of course the majority of the population that has been deprived access to schooling and capital will not buy the farms mzungus want to sell... at the same time - Mzungus have added value.

Let's see how it ends. Me thinks Kenya owes Jomo and his govt for their foresight and not going by this route which was the popular thing to do.

Africans in 1963 wanted all whites expelled from Kenya and all their property taken back. But those were trying times. The economy was declining as the whites had started leaving after Mau Mau insurgency broke out in the 50s. A new wave of emigration started when violence broke out in newly independent Congo(DRC) in 1960.

With these property prices tumbled and the economy contracted as Whites largely controlled the economy. I think there was wisdom in Kenyatta I's govt opting to negotiate the whites out and compensating them to stem a collapse of the economy.

For SA, it is good that they do redistribution but with compensation. Remember these whites have been there since 1652.


Our land problems are precisely because Jomo messed us up royally, while playing up to the British. I say SA is on the right track. Only need to avoid Mugabe pitfalls and they will be fine. How the hell do you watch wazungu making millions from the land they kicked your great grandfather out of and just lie down doing nothing.

We keep giving excuses for our own inadequacy. @ tom-boy, if you cannot make use of the eighth that you were given by the same great grandfather who worked had to get another plot, what business do you have in that idle land that does not belong to you...bure wewe!

Who tells you @tom_boy has only an eight piece of land? And do you know how he acquired whatever amount he has now?

Brother, J0m0 took advantage, the elite led by him embarked on land grabbing spree... That is why the family today has unfair advantage over many, many other families...

The money given by the British govt, J0m0 took it and made it his own and acquired land from the outgoing white settlers...

This is an open secret... We will not keep quiet as you try to cheat people here...

Quote:
“By 1965, Kenyatta is reported to have been using his position as president to buy numerous settler farms in the White Highlands and also excising and allocating to himself and family government forest land in Kiambu,” went on the report.

Tell this to deceptive ones like kina @bratang...

And somebody will say ati "willing-buyer willing-seller"...are you joking! Who did these wh1tes buy land from in the first place. Were our grandparents willing sellers? Unless you have a lifetime to wait for you to be able to buy...

The native americans in the US should also have their land back. And they should kick out the "colonizing whites and their black slaves" off their land.

True dat, Now Black South Africans are in Power. They CAN change the situation. Its about righting historical injustice. Its not about having mercy and pity on people who are riding on the poverty inflicted on you by their great grandfather. How they go about it is the archilles hill. Outright land invasions is very unwise. A systematic and compulsory acquisition of assets by govt without compensation and leaving the white owners as mere managers on a salary would probably be a better way to go about it.

2 issues:
1.was it right for Jomo to allow mzungu to sell back land? YES

2. Was Jomo wrong in using SFT money for him and other big boys? YES

Your point is no. 2 above. Any issue with no 1?

Yes... that's the nature of the beast. Even those that seem to want to "right" things have an agenda. It could be political, social or religious but it's an agenda.

Did the mzungu buy the land so as to qualify him to sell it back to us? Did he compensate the African for lack of enjoyment of their God given resource before attempting to sell the land back to him? Did the mzungu pay fair wages for black labour so that he can argue that the african can afford to buy back the land? If someone robs you off your car then takes it to the garage and repaints it, fixes tyres and begins to use it, should you then buy it back from him when you finally amass enough power to force him to give it back?

The only thing mzungu had when he came was power of the gun. He used it to amass wealth and impoverish africans. Now,South Africans have political power, they should use it to amass wealth and impoverish their oppressors.
The mzungu is very keen to protect that which is theirs. You have seen it with Trump and with Brexit. Germany is waiting to boil over. We Africans are the fools, wagging our tails at them waiting for handouts. This has to end.

Very true. Does it mean kenyans whose land was never taken by mzungu are all millionaires? I mean people in nyanza, turkana, marsabit, wajir, mandera, kitui etc?
