Bustop TV presents this new double edged skit titled ‘White Farmer Tapinda Tapinda’ that is both hilarious and informative.
This Thursday, Zimbabwe’s president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, will preside over the country’s 39th independence celebrations, an event that comes as his government is promising to partially compensate white commercial farmers whose lands were confiscated and redistributed to blacks during the decades-long rule of Robert Mugabe. Columbus Mavhunga reports for VOA News from Harare.
White farmers are under persecution in Zimbabwe. In June 2009 there were only 100 of them left. Is it all about land redistribution, in order for the injustices of the colonization era to be rectified, when white farmers owned the best pieces of land, as president Mugabe claims? Or is it about the wiping out of the white population, a reverse racism, a political game so that he can remain in power? This is a documentary where there are ‘no good guys’ apart from the tortured people of Zimbabwe. It’s the image of Africa’s ex-granary that became synonymous with poverty, inflation, corruption, electoral fraud, violence and oppression.
