How Zimbabwe’s Plan to Expel White Farmers Backfired on Them Severely

Recently, concerning news about how White South Africans are treated have brought up the past mistake that has been done in Zimbabwe. Prior to this, there were White farmers in the country but their farms taken over. However, without the White farmers, the country unfortunately went through a famine. 

According to the Telegraph, Zimbabwean families fled farm evictions under Mugabe's land seizure policy, marking a front line in seizing White-owned farms. In recent years, White farmers have returned, partnering with Black landowners to revive agriculture. 

Despite the economic crisis, agriculture sees rare growth, with tobacco yields hitting record highs. The return of Zimbabwean produce to local supermarkets signals progress from agricultural collapse. While some White farmers prosper, precarious situations underscore reliance on new landlords' patronage. 

Political neutrality becomes imperative for security. Compensating expropriated White farmers remains unresolved due to financial constraints. However, the agreed amount for the compensation is $3.5 billion according to Forbes. 

Zimbabwe calling their White farmers back 

X users state that if they were a White farmer, they would never step foot in the country again. This is in lieu of the political instability of the country, which may lead to another government possibly making the same mistakes as the previous one. 

In a plot twist, X users are calling the “compensation” towards these White farmers as reparations. The term reparations is frequently used in the United States for those who were the descendants of slaves as they are requesting to be compensated for what their ancestors went through in the past.
