What happened in Zimbabwe?

http://www.aljazeera.com/features/2025/4/23/white-and-black-farmers-still-bear-the-scars-of-zimbabwes-land-grabs

The invasions were part of the chaotic Fast Track Land Reform Program (FTLRP), launched under President Robert Mugabe in 2000 to reclaim land from about 4,000 white farmers and redistribute it to landless Black Zimbabweans.

But instead of redressing past injustices, Zimbabweans say it fuelled economic and land insecurity as mainly governing party loyalists benefitted from the reclamations.

More than two decades on, a struggling agricultural sector haunts Zimbabwe, leaving the question of land ownership unresolved, even as the government has begun to pay compensation to white farmers.

(Most of the article was skipped. Portions of it were 'spinning' - trying to blame white 'Colonialists' . . . )

But, I remember an article about how Zimbabwe was once part of 'Africa's Breadbasket' . . . And then 'black majority rule' was imposed leading to the confiscation of white farmers lands and the end of Zimbabwe being a food exporter. And it appears South Africa is traveling down the same path.

South Africa’s Anti-White Farm Policies Provoke Food Crisis as Fuel and Fertilizer Shortages Mount

http://slaynews.com/south-africa-anti-white-farm-policies-food-crisis-fuel-fertilizer-shortages-mount/

South Africa’s escalating assault on white farmers is colliding with growing fuel and fertilizer shortages, raising fears that much of Africa could face severe food instability by 2027.

For decades, South Africa has functioned as one of Africa’s primary agricultural engines, supplying food across large parts of the continent.

Much of that production has historically come from white Afrikaner and Boer farmers whose operations helped transform South Africa into a major regional food producer.

Now critics warn that socialist land seizure policies, race-based laws, collapsing infrastructure, and mounting energy disruptions are creating a dangerous chain reaction that threatens the continent’s food supply.
