Russia is reportedly considering welcoming some 15 000 white South African farmers to boost its agricultural industry. They will be investing their savings in the country according to a Russian news channel.
The first 30 families will initially establish themselves before more follow. “A delegation of Boers arrived in Stavropol with a proposal to open a migration channel,” reported the channel, Rossiya 1 TV, showing visual news footage of the delegation being warmly welcomed.
South Africa will soon be changing its constitution to make expropriation of land without compensation possible, part of the murderous heritage of Nelson Mandela.
Farmer Adi Schlebusch told the Russians they were now seeing the move as a matter of life and death owing to the ongoing killings on farms from criminal attacks and the fact that South African politicians have allegedly been stirring up hatred and a “wave of violence”.
Schlebusch told FWM: “I’d rather be a weak Protestant Afrikaner in the eyes of the world and spend an eternity with Jesus, than be a ‘mature’ Muslim and suffer the punishment of the wrath of the Almighty.” His grandfather was one of the first white farmers to die cruelly at the had of black farm murderers.
They were inspired by a German farming family who had moved to Russia. According to Schlebusch, Stavropol has a good climate for farming.
The South African parliament was due to hold hearings on land reform this week, after the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces resolved to mandate a “review” of section 25 of the Constitution.
The section is expected to be amended after parliament voted in favour of an Economic Freedom Fighters motion on land expropriation without compensation.
The South African government has been accused of encouraging the murders. It has made farming in South Africa the most deadly occupation in the world.
“When South Africa was kicked out of the British Commonwealth in 1961 when it became an independent Republic, and this made it a hated nation among British liberal imperialists, who made anti-apartheid propaganda among black people and called black leaders who co-operated with the National Party government ‘puppets’. It is one of the main reasons why revolutionary the Pan-Africanist Marxist ideology of the ANC made such inroads among the black population after the 1960s,” says Schlebusch.
