“Together
we build this land”! ANC
These
pictures are of a sugar/citrus/banana farm right next to Ngwenya
Lodge [Kruger Park] in Komatiepoort, South Africa.
The
farm’s yield was one of the best in the District four years ago.
White farmers have now been sent in to try and save it again from
complete ruin!
It
was sold to/ taken over by the SA Government in 2007, as
part of their land reform and re-allocation program, whereby riches
are distributed among the less advantaged, oppressed "indigenous"
community.
This
is what it looked like when the previous white owners visited it
after 4 years, thinking they were going to look at the further
development of their old homestead and farm.
They
matched each scene with a 'before' photo and then the last photograph
below was taken from a helicopter where the remains (shell) of the
house is visible.
The
manicured immaculate gardens are now non-existent. Imagine the hard
work and love that went into the planning, planting and maintenance
before!
All it took was 4 years..
