I think there have been reports that black South Africans have been running about, taking the farms anyway, before this happened. Or at least, there's been a spate of farmers being murdered.

My guess? A way of diverting attention from a profound and spreading water crisis in Cape Town.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Looks like Australia, land of strict immigration policies, is going to make some exceptions and allow white (specifically) South Africans into Australia on a fast track, due to the whole confiscating land/murder thing. Good on them I say. I'd be willing to bet Ds in congress here would kibosh a similar program in the US because it would be racist.

Some years back on one of the gun forums an individual purportedly from RSA alluded to restrictions on traveling abroad for certain professions, specifically medical - IIRC, the guy was an EMT. Does anyone know whether or not RSA's current "government" actually IS trying to restrict emigration of some specific classes of professionals?
