S.Africa: AIDS madness: Blacks having sex with: Dogs, Goats and Donkeys
AIDS is making Blacks crazy in so many ways. First it was the raping of babies which has not stopped. But now they are turning to bestiality. I have mentioned such stories in the past and put them on the site.
[I have read that farm prices have fallen by 32%. What’s also interesting is how much agricultural output has fallen in the last 2 quarters. Output is down by 20-30%. Jan]
It’s not just the rand that’s been hurt by the ANC’s plan to change the Constitution to make land expropriation without compensation easier.
Confidence indexes and agricultural land prices are slumping in part due to the potential constitutional amendment that the African National Congress says is needed to correct racially skewed land-ownership patterns. With elections looming next year, President Cyril Ramaphosa has embraced land expropriation without compensation, but insists there won’t be a land grab and any policy changes won’t be allowed to damage farming production or the economy.
Some critics say the constitution already enables the state to tackle land reform, restitution and redistribution, and that changes are unnecessary. The populist Economic Freedom Fighters party, which has won support from young voters in impoverished townships, supports the change and wants all land nationalised.
White farmers own almost three-quarters of South Africa’s agricultural land, according to an audit by Agri SA published last year.

The Agbiz/IDC agribusiness confidence index declined to the lowest in more than two years, the Agricultural Business Chamber said on Monday. That’s the weakest since 2016, when South Africa was in the grips of a drought that ensued after the lowest annual rainfall in at least a century.
Farm prices in South Africa have plunged by a third since December. The average price of agricultural land sold in July was R9 318 ($613) a hectare compared with R13 700, according to Johann Bornman, an economist and chairperson of Agri Development Solutions, who obtained the data from the Deeds Office, which maintains the property registry.
The country’s gross domestic product contracted in the second quarter from the previous three months, landing the economy in its first recession since 2009. Agriculture output shrank 29%, the most among all industries. The sector employs 843 000 people, almost double the number of jobs in mining.
Video & Audio: How to think like a Genius Napoleons advice
Many Whites seem to be confused regarding skill and excellence. I look at some discussions Napoleon had in his final days regarding what exactly constitutes genius. We also look at a NAZI SS genius scientist, Werner Von Braun as proof of a man who achieved the impossible.
