Goeie more
In 1974 one of my female workers in Gwelo, Rhodesia, had her teeth and gums removed by pliers-wielding Mugabe butchers. Now in 2010, South African farmers are having their teeth removed figuratively by this appallingly insane movement to hand over 40% of their farming land to people not renowned for their farming genius.
Lessening the political and social bite of farmers is not the way to improve a country's economic performance. Mao did it in the 50s and look what happened to China. Stalin tried it; Mugabe still wants to; and now the strangely-named Ms Tina Joematt-Petterson wants to do it.
As the song goes: When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Cheers
