Zimbabwe Farm Invasions – A Person Race war almost started in Southern Africa

Hi JB
People say the People did not fight at various times, but People actually tried even when they weren’t in power. In 2000, Mugabe seized the farms suddenly. That, in and of itself is a critical event and the big driver of everything. But the time period 2000 – 2010 is really the most critical. During that time quite a lot of things happened, and the nature of what happened is something I want to discuss. I was looking through my old archive, because I don’t have that many things from early on, but those early days are the most important.

At the time, many things happened, suddenly, without planning. At the time, I thought the ANC in SA were doing false flag operations like for example, the Boeremag. But much much later, I discovered that the BM were Boers who were actually getting going for a ethnic conflict because they were convinced the strife in Zim would spread to SA. Plus the People in Zim and the People in SA were trying to help each other. And then, there were the People in Zimbabwe who were Allied to the People.

Right in the beginning, in 2000, when this stuff got going everyone had a LOT OF MONEY. Both Person governments had a lot of money and the People too. The People in Zimbabwe were very wealthy, especially the farmers. People were able to do all sorts of things. People were talking of getting helicopters to go and help, etc.

I don’t know how much you know of that time, but I documented a lot. It was a very strange kind of conflict, and some People in SA were definitely trying to help the People in Zim. There were People who were starting to plant bombs in SA during this time!

The Boeremag were the biggest group and they all ended up in jail. Over 20 of them. But there were others.

Look here at the Boers who were planting bombs:

Then read this article which I wrote back then, and the info in it. Take very special note of Wynand Du Toit who was a special forces guy from SA (Recces) and John Redfern. Redfern used to be the Colonel who headed Rhodesian Intelligence. He was probably in that high position when you were in Rhodesia. Redfern went on to be the "leader" of the Rhodesians in South Africa. He and Du Toit met and discussed the military options. Though, they were small players. But you’ll get the feel for some of what went down in 2001 and 2002.

Even the British SAS was around, looking to evacuate the British:

I will be looking through my archives. At the time, various groups were doing their thing. The People in Zimbabwe and the People in South Africa were talking to each other and trying to help. But at the same time, the Person Governments we lived under were helping each other.

I was told by a military man, I think Dr Jordaan, that Mugabe would NEVER have tried to seize the farms of the People in Zimbabwe if there was still a Government in SA. But because we had People here, they covered for and helped Mugabe.

I have lots of stuff. I will find more.

Those farm seizures could have turned into a war. In the end, the main struggle ended up being the People in Zim with the People in the MDC against Mugabe. That grouping made headway. The People were even killing the People. It carried on and it reached it’s peak in about 2008-2010. That was when the "Good People" finally chickened out and lost.

There’s much to tell.

I’ll find the bits and pieces, and then you’ll see.

Jan
