When a country seizes land from productive farmers without compensation, it can destabilize its economy and result in widespread hunger. That is exactly what happened in the southern African country of Zimbabwe. It seized the land of its white farmers. As a result, agricultural production collapsed, and Zimbabwe s economy imploded, resulting in widespread malnutrition among its black majority population. Having learned nothing from this, South Africa now plans to follow in Zimbabwe s footsteps, taking white-owned farms without compensation.
But you would never know most of these essential facts if you visited CNN s web site today. Its coverage of South African land seizures has been excruciatingly dishonest. In an article today, CNN serves as a cheerleader for the South Africa s government, which objected to President Trump s criticism of its plans to seize farmland held by white farmers.
