More4..... White Africans

[jaydah]

OMG it's frightening. I wish we could reciprocate.

[NazNomad]

Care to expand?

[naomi24]

Yes, care to expand?

[sandyRoe]

Is this about a documentary about 'White Africans' who settled land after WW2 and are now having it taken away from them by the rightful owners?

[jaydah]

Its about the Mugabe land grab and horror of the black africans commandeering land from the white farmers with violence.

[NazNomad]

Ok thanks for that ... one more question, reciprocate how?

[sandyRoe]

That's what I said, more or less

[jaydah]

Rightful owners Sandy. Those farmers were born there and the land was bought ligitimately.

[sandyRoe]

Rhodesia was pretty much like Kenya. People, Black Africans, were chased off their land at gun point in both countries. The wheel has turned. The land returns to the descendants of its rightful owners.

The asians from Kenya were given refuge in UK. Are the white Zimbabs given same ?

[hc4361]

And why were the Kenyan Asians given refuge in the UK?
Because they were there at the request of the British as cheap labour and had British passports.

[boxtops]

White Zimbabs now won't have British passports, unlike those who came in from Kenya and Uganda. Remember it well.

[hc4361]

The Indians went to Kenya at the request of the British to build railways and provide other services including retail and skilled trade during the late 18th century, India being under British rule at the time.
When Kenya was given independence the Indians were offered the choice of British or Kenyan passports. The vast majority identified themselves more closely with the British due to colonial ties stretching back many, many years and so chose the British passports.
