Zimbabwe's white farmers start anew in Mozambique

- Dozens of white farmers from Zimbabwe have ended up in Mozambique after armed youths seized their lands and gave them to black Zimbabweans.
Mozambique has welcomed the farmers' expertise and investment.
Al Jazeera's Hamza Mohamed reports from Chimoio in central Mozambique.
Land is only part of the equation... You can seize all the land you want but you can't seize business connections and end markets willing to buy products, nor the technologies required to keep the business going and expanding, nor the practical know-how gained through years or decades in the trade. The primary purpose of economic activity is not the promotion of justice or equality; economy is about what works and what brings profit. Justice and equality can be addressed to some extent through taxation of the profit generated by these businesses but not by seizing and "redistributing" the businesses themselves willy-nilly to people who have no clue what to do with them or how to manage them...
Of the three factors of production-land,labour and capital-the most important is a fourth:The Entrepreneurial Ability.And we ALL know the EA of the Inyenzi.
Great and simple answer
And to ensure "them and us" narrative prevails you deliberately exclude them from that equation... That's how it's played

@Ace Dude they survived on exploitation of the African people
And now south africa are following the footstep of the zimbabwean because of their arrogance cruelty and injustice....
Toms Bunk history shall repeat it self.
Another beautiful African country destroyed
Who told you
Toms Bunk no white for Zimbabwe go back your fore fathers colonized us
No problem, take you‘re 40 Million Blacks back then.
Mozambique will never know what it is to be hungry again, they will be fed up with so much food. Meanwhile in Zimbabwe 5 million citizens are suffering from malnutrition and the country has the highest inflation in the world 1000%. When European descendants ran the country, Rhodesia was called the African Singapore, today it is just a poor, miserable, bankrupt and violent third world country.
serves them right
Mozambique knows de whae.
Tomorrow they will send you de wae to europe

Three years later, and I'm still laughing at this meme
For those of you who are worried about Mozambique having the same problem that Zimbabwe did one day regarding white farmers, you can allay those fears because in Mozambique, the government owns all the farmland and it's not for sale. What these white farmers are doing is leasing the land from the government at attractive rates. Thus, no farmer owns the land they are farming. All farmers, black and white, are basically tenant farmers who work for the state. These leases can be as long as 50 years and as long as the land is productive, the state does not intervene. It remains to be seen how this will play out in the long run but so far, it seems that everyone has benefited from this scheme.
Why don't the whites farm in Europe though? Just a question i had.
For one very simple reason; Europe is not their home. The forefathers of many of these farmers arrived in Africa more than 100 years ago and since then, three or four generations of many families have come and gone. For these people, Africa is their home. Just like for White Americans, White Australians, White Canadians and White Argentinians, Europe is not their home either.
Europe is there home because there ancestors were from Europe. For example Africans in Australia, America and Europe are Originally African even if they were born in those Western countries because there blood is African. Do you understand what i mean?
Europe is their ancestral home but that does not mean that they would feel at home there. Are you suggesting that all white people should live only in Europe and all black people only in Africa? If that's the case then tell the 5% of the British population that is black that they should all move back to Africa.
What you are referring to happened more than a hundred years ago and yes much of the land grab was tragic. But that is not the point of my post. The Mozambiquan government invited these displaced white farmers to come to Mozambique to farm. And since, as I said, the government owns all farmland in Mozambique, there is no danger of illegal land grabs or any other such injustices.
This famers are assets who ever neglige them does a big mistake
They are hard workers
Black people are the one who works on the farm
@@soccerchannel9930 And white people are the ones that know what they're doing 😂
@@soccerchannel9930 it's about working your brain not your muscles
@@soccerchannel9930 so why does it take a white man to come along for the farm to exist?
Whites can stand up and start something from nothing. I am proud of you. The negative remarks is the once like what Pastor Mannings said, they don't want to admit the truth. (But that there problem) At the end they still sit without a job and blame other therefore. Ai Ai
Well... not from nothing! lots of government subsidy. but they certainly have the skills.
I actually blame the white man for all the bad trouble and problems around the world specially like places like Africa .............

Your ignorance is astounding....
More than 2000 farmers murdered in South Africa since 1994-and the world is quiet.
Problem is you're waiting for someone to save you instead of saving yourselves
Because they don't hace advanced knowlege abaut farming. It is more complex that it seems
@@JoseMendoza-sj9zv Zim should have left the white farmers alone, and invested in education, manufacturing, and technology so educated black people can go into other fields on a full stomach. In developed countries only about 2% of the population are farmers.
im so happy for these white farmers ...They always do well with regards to farming ...i bless them
This is a very smart move by the Mozambique government! Bring in successful and experienced farmers regardless of skincolour and let them cultivate the land. Then see what happens. Don't forget to take some before-and-after-photos!
You won't regret it!😊
my people spreading love and knowledge to Mozambique, happy to hear
Your people are now infesting and exploiting hard working Blackman's labour ,NOTHING new here ................
@@dudeman5234 did you get money from welfare?
The farmers that Zimbabwe forced out are now making Mozambique a richer and better country. Zimbabwe needs to become more practical.
Zimbabwe is a former British colony, Mozambique is a former Portuguese colony, most likely Portuguese treated Mozambique better than what British did in Zimbabwe
No the Brits definitely treated them good, I cant say the same after Rhodesia got dunked on

He is just a farmer, what does that have to do with his color?
It is because of his color that he was ran out of his homecountry
@Ricardo Milos Highly likely that he was born there as european settlers have been there since the end of the 19th century
@Ricardo Milos And this justifies you telling another ethnicity living in a country that he does not belong there?
@Ricardo Milos This is a personal decision of you to reject your europeaness. You are not being ran out of your birth country as the farmer by his government.
@Ricardo Milos English people do not all come from the Isles, many have Scandinavian and Anglo-saxon heritage. Still they are counted as Englishmen today.
You’ve go to admire someone who can to a place with few resources and build a business. They are training and employing people for the betterment of the country.
Doubt about few resources. They had resources in Zimbabwe but not political backing and no land. They just needed land and govt support.
Zimbabwe mess up big, let see if SA will repeat their mistake
South Africa is in a difficult situation. After Mandela left office, everything just went to heck.
White farmers who can organise farming show me that the most important thing is the ability to organise.
Work well done.
Pensar que Rhodesia fue la joya de África. Ufff.... pobre país
Primer comentario es español que veo
Other African leaders must have been so happy about Zimbabwe's policies. Free farmers pouring into their countries. Zimbabwe became a joke in Africa, if not the world. I heard they had to import food as a result. Think about how dumb that actually is...
Also to add more salt Rhodesia(old Zimbabwe) used to be the bread basket of Africa
Thank for Mozambique people
As the old saying goes. Be careful what you ask for. In this case taken....whats so wrong about growing food? Some people just don't go through the plan all that good. Perfect case here.
True meaning of enriching the country
They have money to invest and a logistic system that allows them to ship their goods abroad. You need a network, you need contacts to be successful.
What a nice story. They sound very South African. Like the accents.
Don't Moçambique used to kick it's Portuguese population too?
Alex Shuysky yeah cause the Portuguese genocided people and starved them. These farmers don’t
@@Onneukbaar What a joke. People should make some research before saying this kind of stupid stuff. Mozambique and Angola were developing very fast and there wasn't any kind of apartheid. After independence they didn't find anything better to do than to start a civil war that last decades destroying lives, beautiful cities and the infrastructures that the Portuguese developed. Make some research and see some movies that there are in CZcams about Mozambique before independence and then say if blacks looked like they were starved and check for some economical data just to see how Mozambique was doing . After independence they become very fast one of the poorest countries in the world. I know some blacks that come to Portugal after independence and they miss those times very much. There were jobs, there were health systems and schools, there were security , cities were very nice and clean. This is what they say because i have never been there. They decided to come to Portugal because they were afraid of staying there after independence .
I am shocked to read some of the comments. Racism here seems to go both ways.
Surely we should embrace the fact that everyone is working together regardless of the role they play.
Lets drop the racialised comments guys, its got nothing to do with the colour of ones skins but what one wants for ones country and future.
I think it does, cause if the farmer was a black dude he wouldn't be kicked out of Zimbabwe.
Average IQ matters....
Its good job well done
Good stuff. This country saw an amazing opportunity in these highly skilled disenfranchised white farmers and offered open arms and land to do their work! They will benefit greatly unlike zim and SA.
Sounds like the government of Mozambique knows what's good for its country ...
Nice! Good luck.
But in Mozambique they don't own the land !
+Tanti Kasso Many people on leasehold land worldwide .
+Mohaini Mohamad In Mozambique, the is owned by the state! noone own the land there
Good, more white farmers should go there then .
Mensi Menkam I'm a Mozambique and they own everything in Mozambique

Good farming
Good video positive
Hhhhhhhhhamza mohhhhammmad .. al jazeera .. Mozambique
Farm land without a farmer is called dirt.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why would they go back?
Once a Rhodesian no other land will do(Rhodesia=Zimbabwe before Mugabe)
That land still.belong to the white farmers, they have the deeds.
Mozambique people are very Smart.

Beautiful
Yeah Mugabe told u to have agreement at first before a war held but Smith refused.That same agreement you want now is the same agreement u were supposed to have before liberation struggle so zimbabweans were right to take their land after winning the fight against whites and the same Zimbabwe is now an example of the whole Africa because it's economy collapsed due to land reform but now Zimbabwe is free for business free for everyone we are now the new generation we did not fight any war . Always you are welcome to our beautiful country zimbabwe.. come come come investors we need yu here .we are peace loving people 💓🇿🇼 let's build zimbabwe together let us love one another cheers to those who will come ...
I don't get it. Did white Zimbabweans speak Afrikaans? Cause why so some of them have a South African accent
Not all of them, Ian Smith was the ex leader and he was english, afrikaans comes from the dutch
@@TheVinc123 ik but was the British Rhodesian accent different?
@@costa1788 It was different.
We need this kind of farmers in Kenya
i'm glad they appreciate the farmers as opposed to zimbabwe. may their country prosper and work hard to deveolop themselves to a big global market ( however they do it be it farming or something else )
Be on your toes the day will come when mugabeast culture catches up with you All the best to you
Respect the country and u get respect!. No matter about the skin color!.
Respect farmer our you will go hungry like Rodesia
Ouuu why?. Because the black man cannot survive without the white man?. Because we can't farm the country ourselves?. Go to Sleep White Boy!.
Good for you Zimbabwe. The farmer went to Mozambique started farming, ZimbabweAns are starving because you moved farmers away. So the farmers can sell their products to Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe didn't look to the future and Egoïsm isnt gonna win it👏🏻👏🏻 if the farmer is smart hé puts a high price on his products because they cant live without food and you van earn more money
The same happened to all the white technicians and engineers that worked in South Africa for the electricity company Eskom. They were made to feel very unwelcome to say the least. Now SA has basically a failed power supply, and Western Power in Australia, is filled with competent people who used to run Eskom in South Africa, but now live in Australia. Entire reporting structures landed up in a similar org chart, in another country. It's so bizarre.
This story tells me something but I can’t be bothered to say.
These people to stupid to be famers??

I think when white people left ...... black people had time to make things right and make use of the land but they didn't....the things is they haven't grown out of colonial mind yet
New sub
So now imagine the average African had the resources and information of that white farmer.????
They did. They took everything from the white farmers. But mismanaged it right into the ground. 😂😂😂. African style.
Whats the garantee that in mozambique also this kind of land reform is not impliment they have habit of readymade farm they get after development black people n leaders r short minded they dont have knowledge of development same thing happen in uganda with indian people by adi amin now goverment is call back indian to uganda i dont think indian will go back again n puting there life on risk

Only when they were a colony

No sane Zimbabwean condones violence against any Zimbabwean. Since the 1890s, we have had many inexcusable instances of violence; be it tribal, political or racial. Although we have made a lot of progress in reducing the casualty records, we still are a young nation learning and progressing. Many white Zimbabweans have been persecuted for the sins of their fathers and that is not right and as Zimbabweans we should build a future where none of our Zimbabwean Citizens will ever feel unsafe in their country and with their possessions. The land was taken through force by the pioneer column and their successors. The Patriotic Front led by Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo and Robert Gabriel Mugabe reclaimed the land through arms and blood. Most of the Rhodesian Forces of European descent were farmers. That could be the explanation for the so called farm invasions.
So sad to see that mugabe make a terrible mistake for his nation.
Zimbabwe lost quality farmers and look what happened to the economy.Lets face some facts here : the economy has never been the same .South Africa ,take note .
As long as most of the economy go s too the BLACKMAN too use and spend ,I say give the white man NOTHING because he never deserves anything............
@@memematic7227 this guy is such a racist you should see his other comments. Its so typical actually.
The Portuguese salted the land and farming machinery when they left Mozambique, which land is this farmer farming?the one infested with landmines left during their bushwar,,I don't see him farming with both legs for long💥💥💥💥
land reform program(the funniest mugabe program 🤣)
@Steffen Bodar KGB watch you 🤣
he is not a Zimbabwean ...he was an invader...
i guess you reap what you sow : >
Mozambique has been good to you I hope you have learnt from your past mistakes and treat those Mozambiqueans well.
Bumper harvest this year in Zimbabwe
That's not what the statistics show.
Coragem política dos governantes , acept the lack of know how in Africa is one way to feed our african people and not only that but also increase understanding of knowledge of new technologies...forget the very bad governants from the past !!!
We are just stupid
Poor Mozambique. The next victm
This land belongs to a who live it. Let us farm it also. Not only white people. Race is not the question. We farmed and hunted in the past.We need to do the same but use modern ways.
Loyiso Maweza plant if you want, let everybody plant as much as they want
lol that's exactly what I thought.
lease a farm like the white man, good luck lol
@@dudeman5234 How is paying for something stealing?
You mean, stealing like the SA government is "looting"? SA belongs to the white people who build it the way it is. Its always been like that. We have given you a chance to proof that you are capable of running a country and its administration. You failed horribly and the same black people who faught for your freedom, are living in poverty and starving. Just give the country back so that "whitey" can try to fix what you messed up...
Their ways of farming are modern in comparison to country they are living. they can come in pakistan and settle in southern areas it will benefit them and us too.
I hope he's still safe
Safer in Mozambique than in Zimbabwe.
Who cares, even mozambique is not european country, they will also loose it
Ask yourself "why" Zimbabweans or Mozambiques cant do it themselves. Tell the truth - the real truth for a change. Do u ever say the real truth???
Why?

Once I wanted it washed I took your family to go and wash it at gun point....With no pay.
Then I die and you also die.We leave our kids.
Eventually your kids come and take your car from my kids...Is it wrong for them to do that ?..
That's what happened in Zimbabwe land issue..Mugabe was fair..
Mugabe had some good ideas, but this was not one of them. If he had worked with the farmers to train his people then buy the farms off them over a period he might have done well, but just stealing is not a good way forward. Redistributing land could have been done through lease back or lease buy agreements or dependant on the farms output, he could have had his people trained into the position of farmer and then given the original farmer some value back or given them a yearly contribution towards their loss of land until such time as it was paid off, or in lump sums etc. And restitution for training the new farmer, that would have been a win win for everyone, and he could have instilled some new land purchasing rules for new buyers....
Mozambique beware of the devils

@dude man how would you like to run after a springbok with spears.
@dude man and the funny thing is you try and chase white people out then when they are out you start fighting with each other 🤣 just like Dingaan that killed his own brother Shaka. White people brought you clothes, proper proper nutritious food, they brought you the bible, an economy and then you treat them like this. Typical
*Whaaat?*
*Didn't the "black armed youth" succeed to manage the fully operating farm they stole? I mean, the farmers are invited back again nowadays to the zambia farms they were driven from...*
White farmers get adequate funding from international banks. Blacks farmers in Zimbabwe were never able to get that kind of funding due to big Zimbabwean banks getting sanctioned by the west. But with due time black Zimbabwean farmers will be able to put Zim back on the map again. Agriculture isnt successful just because white farmers run the farms but are the locals able to access loans and the right funding
There are so many factors that contributed to the fall of Zimbabwe, this is was the least of them.
From the rolling droughts, the debt made by the colonial government for arms to fight the natives, the endless sanctions from the west and the loss of skilled labour created their current crisis.
The decision to remove the farmers that benefited the most from colonial rule wasn't wrong. There were people living in that land before the farms were there, how do you think they were moved off the land, or does that not count?!
That Guy Mo Farms were bought, and paid for.
@@helencummings4303 buying stolen goods/property doesn't miraculously absolve the initial crime of theft. If you're an advocate for justice then stand up for the native population that was forcibly removed. These people profited off colonialism for generations, got fat off land others were not compensated for.
@@Mongezi44 Alright so since you cant comprehend how buying or paying for stuff works, here's a little rundown.
You want something that someone else has for sale, you have the money to buy it. Once you buy it you now legally own it.
This is not theft^
Still doesn't exonerate Mugabe for giving the farms to his cronies and associates who do not know how to farm instead of the black farmers he claimed to having enacted the land reforms for.
Greedy
Well done white people you were born intelligent from South Africa ❤ from black women
And now zimbabwe has useless trillions lmao
Black farmers can do the job too
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just dont understand why the white farmers dont want to go back to europe. whats wrong with europe? Its like they'll go anywhere but europe.
+Sahara proto It might sound strange to you but our biggest problem with Europe is the cold weather and too many rules. There are however many SA farmers who relocated to Georgia.
land is very expensive in Europe.
Leaving hometown is very difficult thing.
So what you are saying is all whites must go back to Europe, then we send all the blacks on the planet back to Africa. think before you talk. what would have happen if the early explorers had just sailed past Africa and just left Africa as a no go zone. you definitely would not be commenting on you tube right now. Everything the whitties built up in Africa is slowly being demolished under black rule. Name one country in Africa that is thriving under black rule.
white american should also go back to europe
