- Zambia is reaping the benefits of Zimbabwean farmers hounded off their land at the height of violent evictions against white land owners .
Zambian authorities say their numbers have almost doubled the population of commercial farmers from 400 to 750.
A While Zimbabwe will need to import grain this season, Zambia's fortunes have been reversed.

_when racism is more important than having people who know how to farm_
Africans of both races working together Africa wins.
rob roberts Agreed, very well put.
Whites are not africans
Wowbagger being an American is a newly created identity, which means anyone can be American. White South African are South African but are not Africans. You wouldn't say a black family living in Europe is European. Being African is about being Black, in all its shades. Take someone else's identity, not ours
Jolly Detta you're thick headed, aren't you?
Wowbagger I am not racist. I love all people. I am not saying white people aren't South African, THEY ARE. but the concept that they are African, is completely false. I live in the UK, and black families that have been living here for generations (sometimes before the inception of the union between Scotland and England) wouldn't consider themselves European. I don't understand how things can go one way here and another way there. I have never incited violence, white South African can stay in SA if they want to. Please stop calling yourselves Africans, because you are not.
Hats off to Zambia! They welcome anyone, regardless of race.
yes so you should visit. 🤗
Man
They would rape your children in front off your eyes
Zambia is garbage country
It is black race infestation
Land is sacred
We go down back to earth
Zambia want white race to make money for them
And they to rule zambia
That is so stupid
No one would spend his culture to serve another race culture
@@TitaTI wish
Zambia knows de whae.
That’s Rwanda
That's also a year late
Zambia will prosper while South Africa will be looking like Venezuela or Detroit 2.0
Or zimbabwe 2.0
Uganda 2.0
Baltimore 2.0
Wakanda 2.0
Hey leave Detroit and Baltimore alone
Zambia is not the only nation to have benefited from the expertise of white Zimbabwean farmers. Mozambique and Botswana have also benefited. It is refreshing to see that there are a few level-headed African leaders who actually think with their minds and not their emotions. It is a shame that there are a few very stupid people who refuse to see the damage Mugabe has done to his own country and his own people. I know because I have corresponded with some of them on You Tube! As they say, you can't fix stupid!
St. Thelonious the Monk Sometimes taking responsibility for your country hurts for a while! South Africa and Zimbabwe needs to feel some pain! The pain of independence and liberation from white folks! It will only hurt for little while! It'll pass!
+Yonis Ali do sanctions plant crops my friend
Zambia is NOT benefitting, neither are Mozambique and Botswana. These characters, who were given millions of dollars each by Tony Blair are the beneficiaries. They could have gone to Australia or Arizona, where their kind has wiped the indigenous inhabitants, and been sold land devoid of water. They should thank their useless selves everyday, because we Africans are very forgiving. At the end of the second world war, 10 million German settlers were driven out of Eastern Europe by the indignant locals. We let these looters stay
No one needs these people, and they are not experts in anything. Zambia was deeply indebted and acceded to this disgraceful land give away to carry favour with foreigners it added money. Cameroon, Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, etc do not have white farmers and yet the people in those countries are bigger, and have more food to eat.
nzinga n is fake news. there are no sanctions on zimbabwe.
POSITIVE THINKING,CONGRATULATION ZAMBIA.......
keep your ignorance to yourself. Zambia is poorer now than it has ever been before; exactly as happens to native populations when they lose their land to Europeans
@@nzingan7670 like Mugabes Zimbabwe poor ....
haha Zambia knows how to lift itself. This is a wise lesson for South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Zambians are much smarter on the IQ level
"haha Zambia knows how to lift itself"
If they knew, they wouldn´t need da whyte davil.
Sure, everyone knows that labour is not an african thing...
Frankish Empire I find it very interesting people fighting over huge land so that they can use it for farming. There is so much requirement than just grabbing a piece of land the knowledge of farming , capital and passion. Let’s go back and see how the so called Zim farmers are doing to day ?
Zambia seems to have properly moved towards race cooperation. Look up "white president zambia" while he was temporary acting president not elected he was elected vice president and when he was acting president he promptly called proper elections. The people had no problem with his being white and he didnt go oppress the blacks
Zimbabwe used to be called Rhodesia, one the richest countries in Africa and the breadbasket of the continent. Along came Mugabe who murdered and confiscated farms, then gave them to his cronies, who didn't know squat about farming. Now they beg for food from world relief charities, only to have it stolen by Mugabe's thugs and sold on the black market. A pure "African" success story!
Zimbabwe was formerly called southern Rhodesia while zambia was called northern Rhodesia
Zambia sounds prettier.
Zambia will probably gain even more help, now that South Africa is booting out its farmers to suit social engineering. Australia and Canada will also benefit from a new generation of expert farmers
Canada refused white farmer migration unfortunately.Australia will benefit tho
@@molihalamakwela4494 yes, Canada only accepts doctors and engineers of Black or Arab descent.
@@molihalamakwela4494 Canadas disgusting communist Politicians are racist against People with white skin color
Australian already is. It’s pretty hard to turn desert into farmable land without spending a fortune.. these people know how to take average land and get a high yield.
@@SA-5247 well i thoud you south african are so proud you descand of frysia yet you know nothing about our people's will to bend the sea to were they want , oh i see youre germanic not frysian aye germanics are fools no intelect frysian kings made the dykes 3000 BC think about that and think how to make water ways in a land to not flood but fertalize the entire soil its not that hard china did it why cant others?
What I find Ironic is this video was a partly funded by the South African government which is going down the same road as Zimbabwe.
I'm glad that Zambia is doing well. All African nations should benefit from blacks, whites and other races.
Bless the african natives that have accepted these farmers. May your country flourish forever.
Ven One bless the African natives for accepting them? What a stupid thing to say! What they are heroes because they were smart enough to accept people that would feed them like parents? That's a stupid is saying bless the homeowner for accepting the firefighters that are here to put out the fire that's burning down your home!
@@matthewmcpeek7324 You're just jealous it wasn't you who taught these people how to farm.
Nice to see people working together to support and help each other instead of the fighting and hate.
Zambia benefits and wins Zimbabwe starves and looses
nzinga N so that’s why the president of Zambia literally said that they’re benefiting from the farmers coming there. Yeeah you know better then he does
Klaus Zungler South Africa it seems also likes the losing idea.
Serves them right; they propped up the Communist Mugabe allowing this despot to break the spine of all its people!
Loses* or lost
The solution is working together not throwing white farmers out let face it whites people have the knowledge and experience so let work together so we may learn from them
GMSkillah Qam Well its obvious ppl in Zambia have a higher IQ than the rest do lol
If you can't make use of the land yourself, let someone who knows how do it. Land by itself is useless, it becomes useful when you use it for something - building houses, growing food, or other kinds of things.
If you stay in islam you will never be able to learn from the white man.
dude would an african be able to take land in Europe? its okay for an african to take land in africa not europeans
It's been over 300 years since Europeans colonized Africa. If they wanted Africans to gain knowledge of industrial farming then it would've happened already. They didn't come to Africa to share knowledge and do business, they came to control and subjugate the people.
Throwing your farmers off the land, what ever their color, is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. You hurt yourselves and starved your own. Weird
So bad Mugabe is not around to read your comment
Zambia Zambia thats the way to think, productive thinking.
Zambia dont have that retarded Politicians like in Zimbabwe, where their fanatical hate against white farmers destroy the complete economical structure.
Do not bite the hand that feeds you is one of the best comments ever.
i have a colleague who was born in the 60s and was discussing rhodesia with him. he told me it was the place to be because of how strong the currency was and how it was the breadbasket of africa. he also said that when rhodesia fell and became zimbabwe, zimbabwe laughed at zambia. now zambia is laughing themselves stupid at zimbabwe.
It is the problems of the most newly independent countries.
Colonies believed that they would prosper without colonialism, but it turned out that colonialism wasn't so bad.
The same is with my country, Ukraine.
Search “Salisbury Rhodesia” and you will see it’s true former beauty
Let’s hope South Africa can learn something here. Very much doubt it but let’s hope.
Zambia was smart, they saw Zimbabwe chase off their wealth/talent and gave them a home. Now Zambia is one of the fastest growing economies.
Non of them should go back to Zimbabwe, Zambia and other African nations have proven their worth by bringing in refugees of all types and providing them with the tools they need to better themselves and the nation. This is an example of how things should be dealt with and no one should go back to Zimbabwe and turn their back on the nation that has treated them so well. Hopefully Zambia will allow those Indian,White and Somali farmers from SA to come too and further help their great nation.
I agree. Whoever wants diversity and love regardless of eve should go Zambia. I’ve done research on this and they’re doing awesome.
Well done Zambia, may you become successful and go from strength to strength.
I think the real lesson here is let industrious people be industrious, don't chase them out of your country for stupid racial reasons. In the end everyone benefits from having business owners, the more the better. You heard the man, they are rich because they have accepted their neighbors in regardless of race.
Africa’s greatest resource is it’s people: ALL of its people. Any nation which realizes that and takes advantage of it is bound to prosper. Lead the way, Zambia
Zambia is doing the right thing and being rewarded for it
Rhodesia....
Glenn Pritchard Zambia? Rhodesia 2.0
The Zambians
1. Welcomed them
2. Gave them new land
3. Gave them new work
No brainer.
I wonder how long it will last before the next Mugabe does the same.
Wow! This is impressive!
From what I was reading lately China is taking Zimbabwe under its sphere of influence so that might complicate the things further. Spreading similar things in South Africa and Angola from what I'm reading... World deserves a chance for peace and we all deserve peace and love
Africans are used to whites doing things for them.i applaud Zimbabweans for what they did.its a matter of time before they get back on the map. Zimbabwean black youths are getting active in Agriculture. Slowly but surely Zim will get there
You shouldn’t applaud them, you should pray for them. Thousands are starving at it is all because of people that supported Mugabe’s regime like you.
How?
@@Nderitu.G my bad. I’ve just written an essay and I’ve just realised you were talking to the guy that originally commented. I apologise.
You're right Donic. Relying on foreigners for food security isn't going to help in the long run.
If Zimbabwe keeps going with their racist methods, they won’t grow. They won’t get respect from other nations around the world. And the actual Africans may not want to stay, especially the educated ones or those that travel & meet different people. Racism is truly not the right way to go, and besides Jesus clearly said we all should love all. No black/white stuff.
The fact that this farmer started with a capital of 90% loaned money proves knowledge and skills is all you need to thrive.
According to google, almost 60% of the total arable land of the world are in Africa continent alone. And every now and then, there are news of starvations, importing food grains from other continent and so on. It would be wise to make use of the opportunities available within. Shouldn’t people of all colours work together to progress the cause of humanity?
What has happened to Zimbabwe is a sad reality. We can’t really blame on unavailability of modern industrial farming technology as the cause of all these mess, can we? For most, the politicians are the cause of all these chaos. Its about time; let’s work hand in hand to end the hungers among us.
In the next decade, I really hope Africa become the food basket of the world.
Well done Zambia from Australia.
DON'T go back!!!! Let them starve ..
South Africa to go the same way as Zimbabwe.
Watch as starvation hits and the pleas for help from Western countries
Wishful thinking.
ZAMBIA PROVES ITS NOT COLOUR BUT YOUR THINKING THAT MAKES YOU WHAT YOU ARE
I am glad this guy got a second chance to do the thing he was born to do, and the people of Zambia stand to benefit greatly, what a great pity that the government of Zimbabwe was so stupid, and it seems that South Africa is going the same way, what they don't get is that farmers are such a valuable resource
This is a vet smart move by the politicians in Zambia, give it some more years and this country will flourish, mark my words!
Let’s just throw our foreign aid going to Zimbabwe to Zambia
Amazing! The farmers should also teach the zambians how to farm in order to skyrocket the benefits of agriculture there! :D
borresron And then they will be killed as they have outlived their usefulness.
Right? There is no talk of teaching local folks to farm! Just Free land and 90% funding ? And eager Africans who just love to serve him as their boss.
Amazing what a skill determination and a place that allows you to wrok can get you that first farmer arrived with his family and a suitcase and now it looks like he has a massive farm and is 1 providing work to the local villagers 2 helping to feed the village 3 growing cash crops for expendable income now zambia is thriving and in the next 10 years will have a whole load of south Africans comming to farm
Zambia has the potential to be the star of the African continent, welcome the white South African people with open arms and they will be the most powerful entity on the continent.
Yes.Black leaders who can think and white south africans helping they will be next continental superpower
I am starting to really like Zambia. I love how they’re involved with teamwork.
Bless Zambia
LOL these guys will do the same thing to him someday.
No doubt about that.
Peter C Geere no they wont...
Really? Do watch this space, won't you?
my thoughts exactly.
Its only a matter of time before the bleks get jealous and take it off of the white man......then go back to eating dust and crying about it. They cant help themselves, its in their genes.
I am very proud of Zambia.
Poor thinking by Zimbabwean government has made Zambian to benefit and increase food production in our lovely country Zambia.
Sadly, I think the cycle will repeat in Zambia, in time, as it happened in Zimbabwe. Once wealth is created in Zambia, ultra nationalist socialist activists will appear and will make the point that wealth is only in the hands of white farmers and that if you elect them to power, they will take their wealth away and "redistribute" it among true native Zambians. I hope I'm wrong, but human envy is a very powerful force.
It will not happen as in Zimbabwe. The key is to be positively engaged in development and not just using the place for personal gain.
@@tecumsehtoccoa553- I hope you're right. But, human nature being what it is, I will not be surprised when it happens. You see, self reliance is hard. That is why is easy to get excited when someone promises to take care of you, if you only give him your vote.
@@onesojourner7514 well ownership of resources goes some way to mitigate that situation. When people dont feel like their situation is bereft of choice then they are looking for salvation from the same politicians who manipulate them . We have to start somewhere. The people are hardworking when they see a direct benefit of their hard labor.
@@tecumsehtoccoa553- Yes. But this cycle has been occurring for a long time. You have a generation that works hard and creates wealth, then another one comes by that does not. That's where opportunists (like Sanders in US, Chavez in Venezuela, Bachelet in Chile, Mugabe, etc.) take advantage and make this new generation feel that their financial condition is not fair. But if they elect them they will right the wrongs.
The results though, are always more catastrophic.
I don’t think Zambia would mimic Zimbabwe
Thumbs up for you Zambia
I hope Monsanto doesn't have it's evil paws dipped into Zambian agriculture.....
Zimbabwe rejected Monsanto hence why they’ve been using that country as example.
What? If I were them, I'd tell the Zimbabwean govt to go take a running jump. What is stop the Zimbabwean govt doing the same again?
Given 30000 acres and 90% loans who would not make as go of it?
There is no talk of teaching local folks to farm! Just Free land and 90% funding ? And eager Africans who just love to serve him as their boss.
Stuff like this gives one hope
Big lesson for South Africa
Botswana was the best place we have ever visited in Africa. Beautiful just wonderful experience.
Are they safe in Zambia?
Are you safe?
Zimbabwe Govt: Listen up Emmerson! Start offering the same deal to South African farmers now..
Northen rhodesia
Best rhodesia
The farmers bring the know-how. The labor is still provided by the natives to the benefit of all.
bullshit. White Farmers doing everything and on top of that giving black People a Job
Given Lubinda seems like a smart guy!
How dumb was Zimbabwe ( mugabe) chasing out the ONLY people that had the know-how to farm the land. Starving to death will teach them a valuable lesson.
so basically zambia pulled an epic gamer move on zimbabwe
Thank you Zambia
This headman has forgotten that it was Zambia in the early time during the Changufu era that the same happened there.
I'm from Missour (AKA I'll believe it when I see it), but, indeed, best wishes for their success.
One man's prosperity is not another man being exploited.
See look, Zambians are clearly a progressive people, despite what our white ancestors did to them they can move past that and accept us for what we can give unlike Zimbabwean people and their leader.
started like this in Africa b4, then they turn on the white man
British Patriot despite what your people did in the past at Least you not in denial like the rest of your people that's the problem you people need to admit what you've done you people started that race thing teaching your youth to dislike us we welcome you people you people stabbed us in the back and you people wonder why we hate you so much you people created hatred if we've done what you people did to us you folks will dislike us also
Steve Mcqueen what we did was wrong but you must admit that Africans are just as responsible for slavery, we didn’t take the majority of salves that’s what people love to forget, most of the salves we acquired we bought from other African tribes.
How dare we gave them medicine and technology...
Silly Zimbabwe, why would he want to come back? You took everything from him out of hatred and Zambia gave him everything when they didn't have to give him anything.
Rhodesia, I miss you.
What peaceful, safe, prosperous and beautiful country it once was :(
South Africa heading in that direction unfortunately.
CatnamedMittens I don't, go away!
Well done to Zambia.
NEVER, EVER GO BACK!! You would be foolish to do so. The farms in Zimbabwe are still being expropreated to this day & time Feb. 2020. You would go back at your own peril!!!!
Apparently Zambia is actually doing way better than most of africa in terms of cooperation of races etc. They had a white Vice President who became acting president for a few months when the President died and while the rest of the world freaked out the people there saw no problem with it.
"A poor manner of thinking" I'll say.
Never underestimate the other guys greed. South Africa will be destroyed. Malema will be rich.
Malema is not materialistic like Mugabe.
@@tecumsehtoccoa553 why was he building a mansion in Santon????😜
Gave black Zimbabweans farms,and they sold the farming equipment went on a drinking spree.
Some people see what they have and other see what they want. And when they get what they want they aren't smart enough to keep it up.
It's so simple,grow food and people eat,sad is the man with nothing to do and an empty belly
South Africa can learn from this guy and Zambia. Zambia is making sure of their food security!
South Africa is doing the same to our farmers. South Africa is going downhill
I think they would prefer to be called Rhodesian.
One "man's" trash is another Mans treasure
Cheers Zambia!!!
the golden goose comes with it's progenitor
Smart politicians....a rare commodity these days.
Maybe you South Africans should learn from Zimbabwe and not go down their path.
2:14 the farmer said he was from South Africa, not Zimbabwe
There's a difference. There is no aparthied, they are not in charge.
Congratulations Zambia.
I hope Zambia dont make the same mistake as Zimbabwe did. Zambia took its opportunity to take the best farmers, and now i believe its the bread basket of Africa.
Well Zambia got really smart! Very nicely done.
I think I'll move to Zambia and farm .
and South Africa soon to follow. way to go ANC
Nice
When we called Mugabe a idiot we were called racists. Here the Zambian minister of Agriculture and the village headman also criticize Mugaap.
I haven’t heard anyone called those who criticize Mugabe as racist. Pretty sure most of the people I’ve talked to agreed that he was a fool. I mean, Zimbabwe being a country where 2-3 eggs costs over a billion Zimbabwean dollars deserved to be called as such.
im Glad that this happei hope africa can one day have western color diversity
ThanKz Zambia
The Zambian government has the right idea. Use the dumb decisions of South Africa and Zimbabwe to their benefit.
Excellent.
