[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3696668, member: 24302"] Actually this has been on my radar for awhile because of my interest in living overseas. Quite a few South Africans are on expat forums asking about requirements to move to those countries, possibility to buy land, etc. The killing of White farmers in remote areas has been going on for many years now. There are two main White groups in South Africa, those of Dutch descent, known as Afrikaners, and those of British descent. The Afrikaners make up the bulk of the farmers there. In fact the British fought two wars in South Africa against the Boers, the Dutch word for farmer. These are heavily armed people and I suspect if the South African government goes through with changing their constitution to allow confiscation it could get really nasty. The Afrikaners by the way outnumber the British South Africans and gained control of the government when South Africa got it's independence. They're the ones who instituted apartheid. So they're reaping what they sowed. But Mandela sought to unify the country through reconciliation and it was agreed that Whites would keep their property in exchange for ending apartheid and relinquishing power. After what happened in Zimbabwe I don't think the Afrikaners are going to go peacefully. [/QUOTE]
