@30:00 is the maize yield 72% [less than] the projected forecast or 72% [of] the projected forecast? 634,000 tonnes versus 868,000 tonnes. I think it's the latter.
Kenya or Nigeria didn't have systems like Apartheid and the Afrikaner Broederbond who's primary focus was economic monopolization and influencing legislature that favored Afrikaners. Having 4 big banks, 4 big retail outlets, 3 insurance companies etc, that often restrict any competition (both foreign & local) from setting up shop in SA is not capitalism in the sense that they (the white minority of SA) would have y'all believe. The common Socialist sentiment amongst Southern African countries like Namibia & South Africa stems from this; Apartheid was essentially controlled capitalism and the companies and people that benefited directly from it didn't have any superior business intelligence or ingenuity (like Elon Musk) to accumulate their wealth. I don't agree with the socialism, but Iand & access to finance are important means of production which are controlled by a few, often unfairly.
Land redistribution can cost the economy in the short run but be of great benefit in the long run. Compare South America to North America. We have to be less emotional about these economic issues as well as be open minded with economic theories.
When 2 farmer grows A class seeds on their farms, apply the same products, if you don't know let me inform you the obvious. This happens. A buyer came, the one farmer gets grade 1 and the other grade 2, what happened. When the farmers changed the farms and the another buyer came to buy, the farm which was grade 1 got grade 2 and the one that got 2 got grade 1, what happened. The secret was the colour of their skin was the determining factor. Where does this come from. You guys have still to live in the real world. Biases are there and we cannot ignore those facts.

It's truly means you both are camparing extremely different concepts. In West Africa all the land and most of the resources were always owned by the natives. In Uganda it was a protective land meaning the land was never owned by foreigners. When you talk about on Southern Africa, land and resources were based on racial and minority controlled legislation. The forcible removal the natives from their land and water rights forced the natives to become subsistence farming, meaning most of the time they were labourers ro make sure they feed their families. The structured economy was for the benefit of the minority whites and exclusion of the majority. Therefore if equal access to funds, land, water and market was truly honest, the whites wouldn't be able to compete. Therefore socialism doesn't mean central control. Land expropriation has to be understood. Majority of South African corporations are Multinational foreign owned companies meaning with the economic meltdown in Europe and US will affect the South African economy. The US hegemony is doing ro affect the South African economy. If you guys focus on what is truly happening with the South Africa economy will shock you. There is not free market in South Africa. Before 1994, the Zimbabwe economy was doing very well, even though Zimbabwe was not trading freely with South Africa because we were not part of SACU. You guys are looking at the surface. Zimbabwe land reform had to fail by any means necessary because there is much much more at play than we are made to believe. Class work if completely different as competing in class is not predetermined outcome. If you did work in class and you get 80% and you know that you have the highest grade, but 2 of the white guys in you class didn't even write the test, but end up having a higher grade because of the colour of their skin.
Socialist and communist ideas thrive because rich greedy capitalists are ignorant about inequality and have a tendency of exploiting the poor. If capitalism was nice and cute as you guys think, then we wouldn't have been having communist/socialist ideas rising. Socialist or alternative ideas work, but it depends on what your standard of measure is e.g. Cuba is poor according to the capitalist model but it has a better health care system that works for all people compared to the USA. Libya under Gaddafi had better standards of living (by using its oil profits to benefit its people) before your capitalist buddies bombed them to the stone age. I am saying all this to show you that alternatives to Capitalism work depending on what you want. If you want individual prosperity plus fast-paced innovation due to competition and all the negative bandwagon capitalism has i.e. zero sum game, wars of conquest, imperialism etc... then go for it. If you want collective prosperity and less of individual prosperity then go for socialism and communism although it has practical implementation challenges.
Makakatwa cause you were presenting misinformation as fact , lets get down to the ground and work and stop hero worshiping a by gone system that had nothing to do with us , iwe neni tine basa

South Africa continues to export maize, while we've been importing from as far back as November 2023. We got so many fundamentals wrong as a country.
