I won’t disagree with you that the ”land reform” in Zimbabwe was badly done, rife with corruption and tribal preferences, settling people on farms who knew nothing about farming, as well as human rights violations and it ultimately destroyed Zimbabwe’s agricultural economy. It is also worthy to note that prior to independence almost all good agricultural land was in White ownership and strict segregation was the law with the Black population confined to seperate urban areas and much poorer far a land. None of this set the stage for a decent transition.
It isn't just about a disastrous land-reform - but an overall issue that affects every single part of a persons livelihood and as such the existence of a country.
There was NO Apartheid in Rhodesia - but laws that didn't make it easy for Negros to fully participate within the White society. These laws simply existed due to the undeniable fact that Negros in vast majority did not share the aspects of European culture and moral&social standards.
E.g. it was forbidden to sell alcohol to Negros - simply because they can't control their consumption. It was however normal for Whites to hand out "controlled" alcohol to their workers or employees - whom they knew. Now, as I had already stated the entire rural country is plain drunk - over the weekends, causing all kinds of destruction/killings/death - which before never existed.
A person no matter his race or ethnicity who doesn't have a job or leads a socially accepted lifestyle - shouldn't be enabled to get plain drunk. We are not talking about being tipsy here. Since especially plain drunk Negros will feel encouraged to commit all kinds of nonsense and crimes far more then a White. Preferably for Negros - stealing, vandalism, robberies, rape or consensual sex producing fatherless kids a mass. In effect hindering Black women (who do most of the manual work in e.g. Zimbabwe) from working - thus increasing poverty and misery amongst Negros.
The Negro leadership doesn't give a rats ass about people nor other Negros who don't happen to be members of their tribe. Therefore the vast majority of e.g. Zimbabwe's government employees incl. Police, Military, and every single Union is filled with a very specific group of (tribal-members). It's exactly these people who will then do anything to prevent other tribes from increasing/upgrading their livelihood.
E.g. taxing and blackmailing right down to killing business owners to pay till they bleed. Closing schools and hospital - and using those funds to only serve their tribal community. Therefore it is also logical that teachers, doctors, nurses or anyone with a basic or good education or qualification comes in vast majority from those tribal governing associations. If the Harare government orders e.g. teachers to go to Ndebele territory (which they usually never do) then these e.g. teachers will refuse to go there (rather prefer to be jobless) because they have every right to fear that Ndebele will make their live as miserable as possible right down to killing them.
Instead of building e.g. schools and hospitals or investing into agriculture - the first major expense was? - right, ordering 200 Mercedes E-class for their new government. I do admit, it was quite comfortable to ride along with ministers and higher officials.
They have a totally underdeveloped sense for social work or social commitment. Once they have an income or a certain social lifestyle - they refuse to help or mix with those being poor. So called social workers are in vast majority European or Chinese organizations, who even need to bring in their own staff from their own countries. And again even then some government official will instruct those foreign social organizations as to were they are allowed to work and were not - again directing these resources towards their own tribal associations.
Right down to directing the location of infrastructure programs or economic/industrial programs financed by foreign investors and organizations. To understand all this, one needs to be there and see personally for himself.
Both Zimbabwe and South-Africa's "new" governments never stuck to the initial agreements of joint rule and government for a longer transition period - factually allowing for a promising future. Giving time and therefore being able to acquire necessary knowledge and the understanding/acceptance of processes. But simply propagating "we are free we will do on our own"(just to catch votes and ensure a certain groups well being). The results of this "new" now Black racial policy, are obvious and well known. They simply took the worst aspects of Apartheid and transformed them onto their own policy.
What part of Zimbabwe is this? The geography of Zimbabwe varies and parts are quite arid and inhospitable to agriculture. Fences can be to keep things in or mark a boundary.
Doesn't matter - e.g. Zimbabwe is know for it's rich and fertile soil and abundance of water from rivers and groundwater, throughout the entire country. And yes there are also traditional villages that have crops planted within their own compounds. So there is factually no need to setup and live in a traditional village as in the photo shown by me. However the vast majority is just like that - why? because tribal custom dictates - that is how grandpa build and so do we. And common sense of a further developed civilization will tell you - don't build on the ground - insects and animals and how to build an effective fence if needed.
Why do most Negro tribal villages have compounded earth instead of a lush green environment aka lawn, or a veggie garden? So that they are able to see insects and animals (especially snakes, rats and spiders - in huge abundance in Zimbabwe). Since they never build ditches and roads and took other known measures to get rid of pests and dangerous animals in their surrounding - unlike e.g. Malaysia. The abundant sorts of rats, spiders, snakes and iguanas in Malaysia - didn't walk off by themselves. !!
And stilt houses - see e.g. neolithic stilt houses and settlements throughout Europe were not build due to floods. But to protect from animals and foremost to gain direct access to a river or a lake - it's called being smart!! Why walk 20km e.g. in Zimbabwe - if one can settle right next to a river or lake. And NO - White's in e.g. Rhodesia did not steal or rob fertile land a mass from tribal communities land - they took arid land (since it wasn't owned or claimed by anyone) therefore also dirt cheap - and made it into fertile and agricultural land. Just like the Israelis.
if they had - then why would all these thousands of traditional villages still exist? - do you see Wigwams all over the place in the USA??
And the Whites did not need to compound the earth around their houses - because they knew how to take care of unwanted or dangerous animals. And wash. cook and bath INSIDE. - just like Malays.
But village homes aren’t all “traditional”, here is another.
The discussion was about
NEGROS own traditional culture - aka traditional villages, and not what they copied from Whites.
BTW - this house is clearly owned by one of these Negros with a "preference" status. And might have even been build by a former White farmer who used to own this land or still owns it, and provided Western housing for his Black "managerial" staff. !!
I suspect you pick and choose the pictures you post to support your particular narrative.
Off course you will state that - go to Malaysia and Zimbabwe and look for yourself. Lot's of traditional Malay Kampongs look wrecked - since the younger ones want to stay in a modern houses or areas. But they keep their inheritance, and sometimes the elder people don't want to move away.
There was a great discussion and laugh about the Sultan of Brunei - who had spend US$ billions to provide modern brick and cement stilt houses - really nice, incl. carports - to get rid of the Orang Laut's (Malay name for those Malays living at rivers, lakes or the sea) who obstructed his view from his fancy palace - or offered a view (e.g. rusty corrugated roofing) that he didn't like to see.
End of story, the vast majority of Orang Laut's refused to move - and Europeans, Chinese and other foreigners made some great bargains on these new houses.
Have you ever been inside a Kampong house? hygienically cleaner then a Malaysian hospital, because they wipe and sweep the whole day long - any food that would drop onto the usually polished wooden floor - you can pick up and eat. And unlike Europeans or Negros, Malays, do not permit for shoes or dirty feet to enter a house. This also goes for Ibans and Dayaks living in traditional longhouses in e.g. Sarawak and Sabah. They and Malay's usually wash and shower 2-3 times a day. And dress very neatly and clean when they go out.
Ever gone into a traditional Negro kraal or hut? aside from their hands, "if", they wash and shower,
maybe 2 times a week. Because they are too dumb and lazy to get a water-pipe to their hut. And if you would know about the inside construction and layout - there is no place inside, to cook, (you wouldn't want to do that since there is no venting), nor wash, nor shower, but many have a TV. They do that outside on their compounded ground. or an external construction for public use, same goes for the public toilet - which YOU would refuse to use.
Therefore most Negros, aside from being partially incredibly dirty, have a really bad body odor - and that is why Whites introduced toilets for Blacks and Whites, benches for Black and Whites , buses for Blacks and Whites and Taxis for Blacks and Whites, including buildings of limits for Blacks.
Damn White racists - right?
