The state doesn't have enough money to compensate farmers at the full price. Which makes it a land grab.

Exactly, they lie...all the time

I've been getting some more info. I'll share it with patrons, since that room is closed to the public.

how do i become a patron

Well, there's an exam, and an initiation period, at the end of which you have to take part in a secret ritual

Seems legit

Totally

I'm sure @jerm will provide a link to patreon

thanks.. I will find it on his twitter

That's option 2 for becoming a patron

aaaahhh ... do tell

I suppose you could create an account on patreon.com and then just find Jerm

Unless you'd prefer the first option

3rd option?

LOL I have the link... no worries

Haha glad more are coming onboard, welcome

thanks

What we really need are photos - for people to go to these farms and small towns, photo-document the life they're living, and share that out

Make the cost of EWC visible in real terms - houses, families, children

Are any of you based in Natal? Or know farmers/people in Natal who would be willing to help one of the farmers on the list? I told him to contact afriforum, but I also said I'll try find people willing, able and close enough to go help if needs be. I'm asking everywhere so I thought I might as well try here as well.

No, I'm in GP

Dankie Andre, dis okay, soos ek se ek vra maar net orals, maybe is daar iemand.

@Tired_White what is the name of the farm on the list

Hi Gonzo, he didn't say, just that it's in natal, but he told me this morning he has made contact with Afriforum.

Let me turn the question around:

What is it that you dislike about Trump?

@Jerm his attitude towards woman, anti climate change stance. His brash and childish way with Twitter. His attitude to Peurto Rico, Charlottesville, guns ...
