Former Zimbabwean Commercial Farmers Thriving in Zambia | VOANews

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2023
- Some of the Zimbabwean farmers whose land the government seized for redistribution two decades ago moved to Zambia and have prospered. In the past year, those farmers started exporting food to Zimbabwe, which has been struggling with food insecurity, partly because of those land seizures. Columbus Mavhunga reports from Chisamba, Zambia.

Zambia’s victory, Zimbabwe’s damning tragic loss. That’s what happens when greedy idiotic murderers run the country.
I bet a lot, even Blacks wish Smith had stayed in charge. Mugabe was horrible for all people of the country.
@@jaywarren333: "F" Ian Smith? Because of the Anglo Saxon of England and the United States that caused Zimbabwe to fail. The British government made a promise to Mugabe that they would give money to buy back some of the land from the white owners and it didn't happen? Wheat and corn 🌽 is not black people food? I noticed from Kenya to Zimbabwe corn is the most popular meal 😢 that need to change? I bet these white farmers are getting the corn seeds from the United States and the United Kingdom? The United States government is doing experiments on corn seeds because black people love 🌽 They're trying to kill out the black race, the oldest race that made every other races .😢😅That will never happen? 🇯🇲🇯🇲

I am glad to see these farmers are not only prospering but that Zambia and its people can benefit as well.
Yet we only heard the prosperity story of farmers.... Not exactly how Zambian people are benefitting
@@chiyenyumba7135 That is a fair point. But functioning farms are still leagues better than Mugabe's administrative incompetence.
@@nathanseper8738 well there are strings being pulled from everywhere it's a game. 🇿🇼administrative incompetence gathered momentum when land was seized. Coincidence????
These farmers are refusing to go home to their ancestral land in Europe.
@@jameskillu9171 it's cold out there 😁
That is why we are telling the African youth to be involved in commercial farming. three to four friends can come together and start commercial farming. Go to the local market and see what people need. You can take one crop like tomato, garlic, pepper, and onion and start growing it. Farming is the most lucrative venture.
Knowledge, management, and working with farmers that got knowledge, weather prediction, correct fertilizer amounts etc. ,what input is needed,
It's hard work, machinery! And how to repair,maintenance etc.
Real farmers are gold, no food,no economy.
Good luck.
Not lucrative unless you specialist in your crop.
There is no money in farming unless you’re heavily funded and granted by European Union to buy brand new expensive and comfortable tractor with lots of implements.
@@joeferreira657 by African standards it is indeed lucrative. They can be quite productive with multiple growing seasons inside a yearly schedule.
I think there should be black and white farmers, and for the country to allow others to farm too, such as Asians, India, etc. that would definitely increase the economy. Teamwork is always the best.

I lived in Zambia for many years. Livingstone, Kalomo and Lusaka. In the 50s 60s
It always had apart from the Copperbelt economy a thriving tobacco and maize agricultural economy.
The extra input of Zimbabwe farmers can only add to the success of Zambias economy but are the people benefiting from it?🤔
Well they aren't starving, like many black Rhodesians are (which is the original name of zimbabwe), so I think the people are benefitting from having a lot of food at a cheaper price.
Thank you
I love the narrators voice!
Zambia is really a peaceful and will continue to be a loving calm nation. There is a massive gap in agricultural thank God some investors are in . Whilst local Zambian can only manage to their capacity.

@@chiyenyumba7135 There are almost no whites left in Zimbabwe now... They are a demographic that is no longer of any consequence in Zimbabwe itself. It's a pathetic situation my friend. Like the Jews under Hitler, they were the 'created enemy' and subjects or victims of the political "blame-game" for so long that they just kept leaving. Just a handful of whites remain and the sad part is those whites who do remain are mostly two very different types: Those who are either filthy mafia who are in with the politicians, or those who are too poor or old to leave the country. It's really sad.
@@chiyenyumba7135 They are now leasing land for dirt cheap from the Zanu idiots that took it, looted it, and then found themselves poor. I visited one farm where the idiot took the largest dairy farm in Africa and ate every single cow over 4 months, then went crying back to a white farmer to lease his land because he'd destroyed a 50 million dollar asset. Now that same warvet makes a pittance because there is an oversupply of land for lease, so the lease price is low. Thanks to so many idiots destroying so much, it is now easy for white farmers to lease land for almost nothing and make good profits. Stupid zanu idiots made their own bed on this one.
@@chiyenyumba7135 Nonsense. There was nothing their when they arrived.

Mavhunga should also have included Zimbabwe's bumper harvests in wheat and maize and the aggressive expansion of Agriculture by black Zimbabweans, even though I was against land seizures.
I agree with you on that one. Though young Zimbabweans were against land reform, they later came to the party and everything is turning out to be all peaches and cream.
If Zim has bumper maize harvests then why is Zim importing maize from Zambia??
@@MrTarrentaal its only for the past 2 years we have had enough grain to feed us for a year because of the new agricultural policies and equipment

Well done Zambia. When common sense prevails so does the economy. There are big changes taking place in Zimbabwe and saw some amazing farms on a recent trip to Hippo Pools.

@@chiyenyumba7135 culturally and technologically ill-equipped to prevent others coming to africa by ship to settle. Now you are trying to change history by crying about it
I hear that exports of agricultural products go to China. This is great for the farmers, Zambian revenue stream, and China. Do not overlook the indebtedness of Zambia and Zimbabwe to China. China now owns both countries, and both a crying for debt relief. This still boils down to good governance and economic practices by governments will benefit the people - not just the farmers, Zambian revenue stream, and China.. The people of Zambia and Zimbabwe have no relief coming in the foreseeable future. And for those who believe that China has a loving heart for black Africans? Look no further than the racism that took place during the covid 19 situation.
Yet colonial descendents in those two countries perpetuate their racism to this day....centuries on

As a Zimbabwen I don't regret the correction of the historical imbalance which was done by our Government. I only regret the greed that then followed. Land was supposed to be given to deserving black and white farmers, who are passionate about working on the land not politicians and army generals who did not even have a clue on what faming is all about. The whole idea was to do away with multiple farm owners, and those with excess land.The issue of land is a very sensitive issue. Land is your identity, and birthright. Today you can give it away but the future generations will arise and demand what is theirs.
The problem it wasn't done at the right time. It should have been done soon after independence. Its the Lancaster agreement they were tricked into signing that caused the delays and all the mess.

@@sydkhumbu51 says the "clever one". Already played by whites divide and rule games
In any case, why give land to blacks and white. Zimbabwe should be categorical and give it to blacks only! Whites came to Afrika uninvited and no matter how long they stayed, it's still an illegal entry into our continent and therefore should lay claim to nothing. We should on the contrary demand compensation and reparation from England for the atrocities committed in Zimbabwe. At the end of the day, XlZimbabwe has is big enough for her population. The entire political class and civil society should figure out how to manage land adequately.

Well, farm workers in Zimbabwe are in a worse off situation. You are lucky if you get payment for the work that you do in the farm. We had farmers in Zimbabwe who operated schools and medical facilities. Not sure if these facilities are still operating. The Zambian govt should ensure that workers at the farms also benefit by way of taxation. It should be a win-win situation.

And if white farmers in the intergenerational decades if not centuries failed to provide decent living conditions for farm workers you can't expect relatively less wealthy 🇿🇼 farmers to afford. It will take time. The problem is these guys know how to manipulate and keep politicians sweet...so they get away with unfair deals for farm workers.

Good for Zambia. May they benefit from the fight Zimbabwe had to put up. I expect these farmers in the best case scenario to have learnt common humanity and put aside their racism; to treat their workers with dignity and provide them with proper wages, housing, and schools for their children as opposed to the poverty wages, shacks and rundown or non-existent farm schools that characterized their farms in Zimbabwe; to behave with gratitude and common courtesy to their host nation and its citizens as opposed to being the racist bullies, thugs, invaders and thieves that they were in Zimbabwe. The best thing is that they have presumably entered Zambia legally and by invitation and are presumably neither colonisers nor illegal migrants, both of which they were in Zimbabwe. If they show the same bad tendencies they had in Zimbabwe the Zambians will have to fight their own fight, but hopefully lessons have been learnt.
Don't forget Zambia was Northern Rhodesia.... These returnees are descendents of some of the colonialists who fled Zambia when it became independent... They fled to mostly 🇿🇼 and South Africa as they could not accept a Zambian Native independence. Zambians just displaying naivety here... A leopard does not change its spots. Zambian politicians if not careful will be corrupted and twisted against their own people. These colonial descendents are clever very clever calculating and will maximise on this golden opportunity presented to them by the Zambians. They will exploit to the max and do bear minimum to keep Zambians sweet. Zambia will regret for generations to come...

How sweet. Glad Zambia benefits of Zimbabwe insanity.
how do Zambians feel about these farmers?
Jealous obvious and they can't do that
Jealous
@@yassintime365 And if Zambians are jealous so who is giving these white people access????
😂Now we are importing from Zambia
South africa is next...we gona lose all out farmers
Don't cry war....and play victim. European supermarkets are flowing with South African farm produce including wines..... South African farm land and tourism business still very much under colonial descendents' control.
@@chiyenyumba7135 that's what he's saying, you'll kick them off their farmland and then fail to farm that land, plunging yourselves into even worse poverty
@@bigcunt5689 well at least you acknowledged that we already in poverty and we will plunge into further poverty.... Thats alright for we don't know any different we were plunged into poverty by colonialists. They hold all economic assets to control us. How about you let us be in poverty on our own terms. Go ahead and farm in europe. The only reason you have a success story is looted generational wealth and access to international markets thru your cousins in Europe. Africans don't have generational wealth to back them up and once colonial descendents are kicked off the Europeans will support them by boycotting South African produce.. We know the score if we cant share our cake with you we can't have it.. Problem you want everything for yourselves... Africa is sweet however it comes with the little inconvenience of the African.
@@chiyenyumba7135 tell the SA blacks to breed slower than anc government is destroying job. blacks are not faultless. SA has economy that can support 20 million people comfortably but SA blacks have children like the world is going to run out of africans

Come pack them and take them to BANGLADESH
1000 hectares one person Mugabe was right
VOA is one of the oldest American NGO designed to further the "America first" policy. Zimbabwe's today's success is due to nationalising the farm land owned by the white and gave to the indigenous black natives.
🤣🤣🤣You must be joking. Zimbabwe will never have agricultural "success" until the natives learn how to actually farm. That means education - how to work the land, the financial arrangements of buying the equipment, maintaining the equipment, water reticulation, and so many other things that only working for one of those white farmers could have taught. But no no stupid Mugabe had to kick them out...
zim's only success is exporting impoverished zimbabeans to other countries
Land redistribution caused famine. The black farmers did not know what they were doing. They made the country dependent on imports.
Well good for Zambia! Zimbabwe, formerly the breadbasket of the region got a rude awakening when its economy failed after it ousted the white farmers and was added to the list of failed states of Africa.
Nothing good for Zambians in the long run
When a people's time has come no demon can stop them .All your sanctions and oppression of others shall be on your head. Psalms64 &75 you will find what is going on in the world today .
Zimbabwe is not a failed state the colonialists failed Africa with their greed and repressive agenda in centuries they never were able to co exist with Africans but just exploitation..... These folk Rae away from Zambia after independence now they return with "fake" smiles to re_secure land and resources. To native Zambians that's their country bought and paid for. Their politicians will be "sweetened, corrupted, twisted and turned against them.
Zimbabwe agriculture is on a massive rebound, aside from bumper harvests of wheat and maize, we are investing a lot in Vineyards
@@foxbat473 why vineyards?
@Chifundo Chifundo.....over 10 comments just by you. You seem to have personal issues.
Reading and counting my every comment...😂 Please attend your own personal issues first, you projecting

BIG chip on shoulder. Lots of hate towards a certain race. the posts are very clear to see.
@@kimbozw1808 get rid of your own MASSIVE CHIP on your "MINDset".... Even the Scottish want independence from the English.... Is that hatred too?
@@kimbozw1808 unfortunately Africans have received a thousand more times hatred from a certain race on the African continent and beyond...let's hear 👂 what you have to say about that
I see him in his fields when I go to Tanzania by road. He is growing every year. I see the farm he has left in Zim and nothing is happening. Only distraction and no production
So Zimbabwe didn't have any intentions of utilising the farms just wanted to chase the Whites away, bad idea then.
Zimbos are parasites
@@tloutlou2655 lol you mean the self proclaimed Zim white is a parasite..... Yes they are parasites they leech life out of people they have fingers in every pie land, minerals everything you name it
So he owns land in Zambia and Tanzania and you don't see a problem with that. Monopoly is happening in front of your eyes and you are blind to it. Africans should own their own means of production especially something as important as feeding your nations. He has your country by the balls and you don't see it, he has all the leverage. You are in for a rude awakening.
@@tloutlou2655 Be that as it may we are a proud people.
Too bad they don't empower their own farmers.
They did but black farmer just can't do what white farmer have done.
How do you empower farmers?
ARE YOU MAD! THE MAIZE WE EXPORT TO YOU AND OTHER COUNTRIES--WHO DO YOU THINK GROWS IT? THESE WHITE PEOPLE FROM ZIMBABWE AND OTHERS ACTUALLY BUY FROM LOCAL SMALL SCALE FARMERS TO SUPPLEMENT THEIR EXPORTS. THEY DEPEND ON THEM AND NOT OTHER WAY ARROUND. HERE WE SHOW THESE MEDIOCRE WHITE FARMERS HOW ITS DONE. COME TO ZAMBIA AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.WE ARE UNIQUE!
@@kenjill8783 of course they can.... Graham Rae wants "correct" policies and we know what that means
@@georgegordonbrown9522 same way as Graham Rae are empower ed
The “white” farmers were displaced? From where?
Zimbabwe.
The real problem with Zimbabwe is not that they took back their land from colonizers but that after they did so, the west imposed sanctions on them that crippled their economy.
It was not sanctions, that country is full of useless people, cowards who ony care about themselves. No unity amongst themselves, only unite for committing crimes and kuromba
Rhodesia had western sanctions too
The President Mugabe Government did not seize land. They gave back land to their appropriate owners. It'll take a while, considering Zim had to fight USA and Britain's double standards after doing the right thing. Now Zim only needs to right their governance and policies & all goes back to order & exponential growth
Zambia themselves will want same as 🇿🇼 but it's gonna be harder for them
சிறப்பு.... மிகச் சிறப்பு.....
We don't care. He must go to England and farm
This story underscores the need for forgiveness and reconciliation in the interests of the greater good.
No need, to forgive them.. why is it always Africans forgiving others....
Wow forgiveness do you know what you are talking about.... When will us Africans be forgiven sins we never committed?????
I dont see anything to celebrate particulary foz Zambians.
zimabweans dont see any reason to celebrate either 🤕
The nation is now producing far more food. Increase in your country's productive capacity I'd good. Forward thinking nations invite talented people to come and prosper.
Dont let the chinese take ovrt fsrms
Why don’t you report on this, Zimbabwe is now 100% food sufficient, this was announced by their president at dakar summit in Senegal.
Because nobody believes liars! The Zim government are liars!
The Zimbabwean president is a thief and a liar!
And if you believe that , you'll believe anything
Ivhu nderedu. The colonialists can go to Zambia.
As a fellow Zimbabwean, I say good for them. They are good people. The tyrannical Zanu PF party is fast dying out and collapsing. There will soon be a reckoning. When we the people take action, we will get a new, good and benevolent government who actually cares for the people, animals and the country. Zimbabwe will fast become the breadbasket and Jewel of Africa again. Our wildlife and parks will continue to thrive ( make us a wildlife capital/ haven for tourism), the people will be happy and the country will be prosperous and economically successful. Mark my words. It is coming. Zimbabwe has an extremely bright future. 💚💚🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐾🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🕊🕊
Just don't bring the colonizers back
@@mpendakiswahili3053 yes....
