The Fake Storyline Around White Theft of South African Land
Executive Summary
- Black South Africans have proposed a false version of history that places them as the original landholders of South Africa.
- Under this storyline, they claim all land owned by whites has been stolen.
Introduction
The fake storyline presented by black South Africans is rarely questioned and serves as a false assumption regarding who has the right to land in South Africa. In this article, you will learn the real history of who developed South Africa, how the vast majority of present-day black South Africans immigrated to South Africa long after the Dutch arrived, and how this false assumption will increasingly be used to expropriate land from the whites in South Africa.
The Fake Storyline
The following quotation describes this.
“When the Dutch landed at the Cape in 1652 the Xhosa lived right at the southern border of what is now the KwaZulu-Natal province. There is a simple way to realise that. The key rivers that formed borders between white and black in the 1800s, the Kei and the Keiskamma ( both EAST of the Great Fish River border) had KHOISAN NAMES, not Xhosa names. What does that tell an intelligent human being? Perhaps this young lady can name me a river anywhere between Cape Town and Port Alfred that bears a Xhosa name. She cannot, OK? It took literally 50 years– two generations– for white and black to first meet each other overland in 1702. That happened around 600 miles east of the Cape… and I can provide the names of the people. It took until around 1780–one hundred and thirty years–for the first war between white and black, and it took place SIX HUNDRED miles east of Cape Town.”
Politifact Gets Confused on What Percentage of Current Black South African Population Traces their Ancestry to South Africa
Politifact tried to fact check the claim that the Dutch proceeded the ancestors of black South Africans. However, it became confused when it assumed that most of the current black South Africans were decedent from the Xhosa and the Khoikhoi tribes.
See the following quote.
The history of Southern Africa long before the Europeans (and yes, there is a long before) is a fascinating tale of competing kingdoms, shifting alliances, and territorial disputes. We spent some time with two volumes published by UNESCO in 1992. Wars among the people labeled black today played out before and after the Europeans arrived. As it turns out, the Dutch dropped down in a fairly peaceful area.
The Dutch East India Company established a toehold in Cape Town on the southwestern tip of modern South Africa. There, they encountered a group called the Khoikhoi who used the land to graze their cattle.
From the start, the Dutch treated the land as theirs.
On May 10, 1656, the outpost’s commander Jan van Riebeeck described his dealings with a Khoikhoi leader.
Cape Town’s original purpose was simply to resupply merchant ships headed to the East Indies, but over the decades, settlers turned to farming, which put them in conflict with the original inhabitants. By the end of the 1700s, a series of wars broke out with the Xhosa, a larger and more formidable foe than the Khoikhoi. Ultimately, under the British, the Xhosa were defeated in 1853.
Politifact seems to miss the time gap between the Dutch’s arrival and the first Dutch African war. It appears to have completely missed them.
As pointed out, it was one hundred and thirty years. Didn’t Politifact think this gap in time between the Dutch’s arrival and the first war with blacks in the region was a bit odd?
As we have covered, only around 17.5% of the current black population of South Africa is descended from the Xhosa and Khoikhoi tribes (adding 1.5 million for a safe estimate). Their ancestors lived in what are now other African countries, such as Zimbabwe and Botswana. South Africa has seen continual immigration from different African countries — and during the apartheid time — because South Africa provided better opportunities — under apartheid and after — than other countries in Africa run by blacks. This is another observation missed by Politifact, which apparently halted their analysis of the situation as soon as they identified two African tribes in the Cape. Politifact is incorrect. Most Dutch and many of the English and French ancestors of current white South African descendants preceded most of the black South African population.
Notice the white population in South Africa in 1904. The white population is now around 4.5 million. That is roughly 4x of the white population in 1904. However, if we combine the African and Coloured populations, we arrive at approximately 4 million black South Africans. However, the current population of black South Africans is approximately 54 million. That is 13.5 times as many people as in 1904. Where did all these black Africans come from? Immigration. This is 1904, which is long after the Dutch arrival in 1652. This spot in time, 1904, actually overstates the black South African claim to the land, as black migration from other African countries had already occurred at this time — that is, by 1904.
Who Lived in South Africa At the Time of the Arrival of the Dutch?
This video covers the Khosi-San African tribe. Notice the map from the video.
Modern Khoi-San tribes barely live in what is now South Africa today. They are primarily in Botswana and Namibia.
Blacks in South Africa, whose ancestors did not claim land in South Africa, had no ancestral connection just because they were black. Blacks are currently immigrating in large numbers to Europe. Can any land they purchase be taken/expropriated from them because they are not white? This is the logic that black South Africans are applying to the situation.
The Xhosa
The black South Africans who claim South African land through ancestry are the Xhosa. They are explained as follows.
Presently approximately 8 million Xhosa people are distributed across the country, and the Xhosa language is South Africa’s second-most-populous home language, after the Zulu language, to which Xhosa is closely related. – Wikipedia
There are currently roughly 54 million black South Africans. The vast majority support expropriating land and state that they have a right to land. However, only 8 million Xhosa people are living in South Africa today. That means (roughly) 54 M – 8 M or 46 M or 86% of black South Africans are not Xhosa descendants. Let us add another 1.5 million to the 8 million to account for the small number of Khoikhoi descendants still in South Africa and others not accounted for. That comes to 9.5/46, or 82.5% of black South Africans have a weaker claim to the land than the white South Africans, who largely preceded the rest of the black South Africans.
Under this logic, a Zimbabwean who illegally immigrates to South Africa tomorrow can immediately begin agitating for “his” land to be returned to him. And his claim should be respected because he is black. This brings up the following question.
- How many more blacks will immigrate to South Africa in the next ten years?
- How many of them will begin making the same claim to the land?
- How many of them will admit that they just entered the country recently versus those who will prefer the storyline that the land was “stolen” from them?
This is pure racism, and it is not challenged as long as the racist is not white.
How Black South Africans Flipped the Script of History
Black South Africans keep the myth that when the Dutch arrived, it was populated with the current Africans’ ancestors. The narrative is that the whites stole land from them. But most black South Africans weren’t there at the time. Their ancestors were north of this area. At the time of Dutch arrival, the original inhabitants were the Khoisan, and there were also very few of them.
The Africans who live in South Africa today migrated to the region to find employment in the society that European settlers had created. However, present-day Africans claim that all white land ownership is based upon theft, and the EFF wants all land taken from whites and redistributed to Africans. Even when repeatedly contradicted, black South Africans continue to latch onto this story. Black South Africans see all property as land and do not recognize intellectual property, or why South Africa ever developed into what it became when Europeans settled it. Similarly, Australia would not have tall buildings or roads today if Australians had not decided it. None of this is to endorse blacks’ mistreatment, but both things can be true at the same time. The somewhat surprising thing is that even under apartheid, SA had a long-term problem with illegal immigration from African countries north of SA.
This means that Africans greatly preferred moving to a white/European-based system as second-class citizens than staying in their own African-run countries. Within one or two generations, the African migrants changed the storyline to be that the whites had not allowed them into the country (and most of them were coming illegally) but instead had stolen their land where they had been for thousands of years. This has led to more calls for land redistribution, as the following video shows.
The ANC has been unable to do anything but go backward. One black South African says she wants the same as white people. But does she mean all the white conveniences that her society never developed? Most of the blacks in South Africa are not from South Africa — they willingly came to South Africa, leaving their land in other African countries. There has been some dispossession of land owned by African tribes by whites, and that land should be given back. However, that is not the majority of the land issue.
South African Land Expropriation
What black South African farmers excel at is complaining, but not farming. They continually reach out to the ANC to assist them and show them how to farm, but the ANC is in free fall and lacks the necessary resources. All they can do is expropriate land. Black farmers and the rest of South Africa think the ANC had some plan. But they do not. Their short-term objective was to seize control of the government so they could plunder it. The ANC is now known for having large numbers of incompetent black South Africans who have no idea what they are doing, further driving South Africa into the ground.
Black Africans have stated they want to take over white farms, but they have proven to be terrible farmers. Most of the farms taken over by black South Africans are defunct. This same thing happened in Zimbabwe.
After a while with black-run farms, Zimbabwe began begging white farmers to come back, as it became a food importer without white farmers. The new black run Zimbabwe had to put on a brave face and develop a story to cover this reality. They went with “importing farmers is necessary for capitalism.”
The Fake Presentation of The Percentage of Farm Land Owned by Whites in South Africa
This is one of the very few videos or sources anywhere that explain that the percentage of land, of farmland, that is owned by whites, which is commonly presented, is entirely false. The way the Blacks and the ANC count this is not fertile land that is owned by which groups, but land that is producing agricultural output. Since Blacks are not able to farm and produce almost no production from the land they’ve been given, this makes it look like the allocation of farmland is far more restrictive towards Blacks than it actually is. At no point does the ANC or the Blacks in South Africa point out that when given fertile farmland, which is taken from white farmers, the Black South Africans do not do anything with it.
Instead of addressing the issue that blacks don’t do anything to grow food with the fertile land that they’re given, the ANC and black South Africans demand that more land be taken from whites, which is fertile, and given to blacks, which then stops producing food.
How the ANC and Blacks Lie About Farm Land Distribution
At the five-minute mark in the video, it is explained that Black South Africans own more farmland than many European nations collectively own.
At the 7:00 minute mark, Willem Petser explains that the average Black South African owns eight times more farmland than the average White South African.
- The Netherlands sits on 1.8 million hectares of arable farmland. Yet it is the second-largest exporter of food behind the United States.
- Black run farms in South Africa produce 10% of the output of the country while owning 40% of the arable farmland. At the same time, white farmers produce 90% of the country’s agricultural output. Furthermore, Black farmers in South Africa have been allocated more productive land than white farmers.
Comment #1: What About Fertile Farm Land in Other African Countries?
See this comment from the video.
100%. I’m British and I went to Uganda a few years ago. It’s unbelievably fertile land, it’s just incredible. It’s almost like you can throw potatoes or any seed on the ground and just walk away and they will grow. I saw cattle in fields with bright green grass knee deep.
You couldn’t screw up a country like that if you sat down a planned it; so how the Ugandans achieve that level of incompetence was the real mystery to me.
Comment #2: Very Little Compensation – And Then No Farming
My parents were victims of the NP that expropriated our farm in 92.
NP only paid 20 percent of true value. All surrounding farms were also expropriated. No farming there in the last 32 years.
Comment #3: Doing Little with Productive Land
We white always said and asked why do the blacks own the best land and yet they do nothing with it
Comment #4: What the Blacks Had Before Whites Appeared
At the end of the day, when the Europeans found them squatting here in the 1600s, they were running around naked, living in the bush with wild animals. They were deprived of all the privileges they claim apartheid deprived them of way before apartheid!
Comment #5: Blacks Want the Whites in SA Dead
The land ownership is no enough, they want you dead so they can loot your stuff in peace, nothing else will satisfy. They will not admit this as it interferes with the dog and pony show they are putting on to try milk you for unearned wealth.
Comment #6: Nonpayment of Taxes by Preferred Black Groups
Just the Ingonyama Trust owns 2.8m hectares of prime agricultural land…to make matters worse, the Ingonyama Trust doesn’t pay municipal rates and taxes. How did this happen?
Comment #7: The Rerun of What Happened in the Congo
as i said in 95 congo rerun in s a in slow motion . 30 YEARS AGO.
Comment #8: The Rerun of What Happened in Zimbabwe
To continiously chant the theme of taking white farms in the name of transformation agendas based on idiology and ignoring basic fact is just the way it goes. Zimbabwe 2.0
Comment #9: Percentage Owned by Blacks
If I remember correctly black people own around 70% of the land in 3 of the provinces(with the most arable soil) and more or less 50% of the other 6 provinces. I think that was according to the census of 2016. Today those figures will be much higher yet they still perpetuate the lie that white people own 70 to 80% of the land.
Comment #10: Black Work Ethic Problems
They are lazy to work.they dont even plant even a maize plant or a banana tree on their backyard.
The unfortunate truth is that you can trie and rig the game as much as you like for the blacks, they still just can’t get their shit together thanks to their own culture and wonderful ANC government.
Comment #11: A Plan to Dispossess Whites
We all know that the expropriation of farm land is just a smoke screen for helping the so-called dispossessed people. It is in reality to enrich the ANC cabal who already owns about everything in S.A.
Comment #12: The Doom Loop
White SA farmer owns very successful citrus farm ANC expropriates the land from him-gives land to black “farmer” Black “farmer” has good crop for one year (because aforementioned white farmer has already done all that year’s heavy work)
Someone forgot to tell black “farmer” about yearly expenses, equipment maintenance and loans for next year Black “farmer” thinks that all money is his personal profit Black “farmer” starts buying luxury items for himself Black “farmer’s” ENTIRE family descends on the land, demanding that he share his good fortune What black “farmer” doesn’t willingly give them, they just take Black “farmer” is now in default because he is now destitute… and no seed for the next year.
Black “farmer” starts to sell his equipment and destroys farm structures for firewood Black “farmer” then chops down fruit trees for firewood Once very successful citrus farm is now a barren wasteland.
Comment #13: Starvation Coming in Africa Due to ANC Policies
What these black people don’t understand if food production stop in South Africa Namibia Botswana Zimbabwe Swaziland Lesotho and Mozambique will suffer starvation and that’s a fact the big hunger is on it’s way they to stupid to blind to see and the Politicians masters the Globalists and WEF don’t care about humans they want the land and the minerals these stealing corrupt politicians is going to eat and burn that money for hunger and to keep warm time will tell
Our Golden Pinocchio Award
Black South Africans and the ANC receive our Golden Pinocchio Award for the false claim that they were in South Africa before the white settlers. Therefore, this land belongs to them.
Conclusion
Internationally, blacks are becoming more assertive regarding what they consider to be land property rights. Blacks in all of Africa often want to immigrate to Europe, which is historically European or white. And if Africans aren’t allowed in, they typically claim racism. Blacks have a double standard at work — which is that historically, white countries need to become diverse (which translates into non-white), which means that whites need to be accommodating to non-white migration. However, in the very unusual circumstance where whites migrated to an area in Africa, the story changes. Now
Africa is for Africans and whites need to get out!
And when the whites do get out, as is the case in Zimbabwe, things then go downhill very quickly. Zimbabweans are one of the major groups that immigrate illegally into South Africa.
South Africa is an excellent example of why you do not want large amounts of black immigration into your country. This is because, within a generation, blacks begin to manufacture their history where they were before they immigrated to the government. This is also happening in the US, where false history promoted by blacks (in fact, false current events — such as the false claims about police disproportionately killing blacks) is being used to gain power. Whites follow a flawed strategy when they attempt to engage with blacks using a rational thought process. Blacks are not interested in “white logic.” They do not follow a sensible model in South Africa, Africa more broadly, or the US.
Whites in South Africa Told to Shut Up About the Murders of White Farmers
If whites live around blacks, they eventually lose their freedom of speech.
