If I were in charge of their various human rights abuses, I would have put SHITLOADS of people through degrees in agriculture, plant and animal science before showing any outward sign of wanting to expropriate land.
And I would be VERY racially selective in the amendment of the constitution, only the Boer can have their land taken, so that foreign investors would know who could have their stuff taken without compensation and who can't.
There's dozens of stories of Christian missions going to Haiti and showing the people how to farm and then when they come back a year later to check on their progress, the land has completely been salted and ruined because they don't know how to maintain it and they use it for other purposes than farming
They'd likely refuse the help. I remember reading about some case in South Africa where some people's land was entrusted to a tribal council and they refused educational help (but decided not to refuse the government money) offered because they claimed they wanted a black farm to be run by black people and for people not to think that they were incompetent. Ironic considering that the farm was defunct in 5 years and the tribal council had been embezzling the funds
It's hard in South Africa and Haiti. These people think this shit happens by magic. They have no understanding or appreciation of how much thought and work actually goes into maintaining a farm in those places.
I have no sympathy for people who steal and murder, then starve as a consequence. However, these people are also condemning innocent children to the same fate.
legal shennanigans and corruption warped the law into essentially creating the conditions that new laws the ANC is considering would implement on a nation-wide scale
now the 2004 case is different in that the farmers were actually paid for their land, which probably explains why they offered to help with the farm afterwords
