One thing that Africans know how to do is farm. and there is plenty of viable land in zimbabwe to grow everything that they need. And those farms were owned by blacks native to zimbabwe before the British led colonialism took land and divided it up between the new white settlers.
Now that mugabe is in power, he's tired of that shit and he has even offered to sell some farms back to the british government for a fair price out of the goodness of his heart and he was refused. Therefore he's expelling the people who represent the british government (white farmers)

This guy obviously knows nothing of the situation in Zimbabwe. I suggest he reads this and learns.

Or is he one of the guys that thinks anything done by a black African leader is fine and anything done by a white African leader is evil.
The situation in Zimbabwe is pure race hate and not just white against blacks. It also matters what tribe you come from.
The African tribesam was never a great farmer, many were nomadic and the rest grew enough to feed the family from their own land. It was the white man that cultivated the land on a large scale.
The stupidity of his arguement also displays his level of reality. The country has been colonised for a hundred years plus. The black farmers who farmed the land are gone. The majority of the population now live in cities and do not know how to farm. So where is the sense in throwing out the only people who can grow the crops and replace them with people who cannot in a time of famine? It's political and that does not have to make sense.
Mugabi's problem is when all the whites are gone and the people are starving because the West will not rescue him. there will be no one to blame and someone will shoot him.
