I hate to say this, because white people have lived in South Africa for a LONG time. It is their home. But, I would leave Africa to the Africans.....come to America and take up Trump on his offer before you are murdered. Africa is such an interesting continent. They just never seem to be able to overcome corruption. They have the most amazing natural resources. They have talented people and hard working people, but for some reason, the most corrupt and inept always seem to rise to the top. Why is that? What is it about Africa that accepts and allows corruption? So many 'new' governments in Africa have promised Utopia and quickly disintegrate into lawlessness and grift.....and the 'regular' people just seem to shrug and go along....they are so used to the corruption, it's a way of life.
How do you change that?
As to the white Africans.......unfortunately, history is not your friend. No matter how decent and good you are today, there is a heinous history that can be pointed to often. Seems like white people are the ONLY people who are not permitted to grow and change.....I am no expert on African history, but I will bet money that just as many atrocities were committed by Black Africans on Black Africans as were committed by White Africans on Black Africans. Just as in the Native American issues here......only one side of the story gets told. Only one side is allowed redemption and to prove itself.
I do not see a way out for white South Africans to stay there safely unless something changes dramatically. It's not right. It's wrong as wrong can be. But it absolutely parallels what has happened here. The difference here is the population balance is in favor of whites or at least close to equal so outright takeover is not physically possible. In South Africa, the percentage of white people is not great enough to fight the evil forces UNLESS a significant number of Black Africans throw in with the whites because it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's easy to blame everything on the white farmers and property owners. And you are exactly right, they plan to take it all by force eventually. Only THEN will the poor Black South Africans realize it's not for them that the property is being confiscated.....it's to enrich the newly minted Black aristocracy.
And isn't it strange that corruption came to visit South Africa now in the form of Hunter Biden.....what's up with that? Of all the places this most corrupt of all creatures could go, he ends up in South Africa......I don't think that's a coincidence. I think there is a good deal of foreign influence guiding the corruption. His daddy may no longer be President, but the corrupt tentacles don't just dry up and go away. Someone needs to investigate what this slimy character is actually doing there.
Our small country Reformed church has 2 new SA families. They fit in very quickly and have experienced great love and support from our congregation. One is a scientist, the other in oil/gas. We have several farming families. South African folks are welcome in America. Farmers have unique skills and should receive preferential treatment in immigration processes. Come to America folks.
I can only guess that the people of Africa have been so worn out by the many "empires" and invasions that trace back into the dawning of their history that they have trouble standing up to criminals in government and so continue to succumb to them.
The whole subject of race (or skin color really) is a bit of a mystery to me, but has never been in their favor. Even though about 3/4 of Earth's population is non-White, Europeans still hold a disproportionate amount of power on the planet, and there is a long-standing pattern of playing the race card against non-White populations. That practice must come to an end.

The vast gold and diamond mines are what keep the white owners/operators/investors in SA.
Two words....Human Nature!
