The White South Africans' Exodus to Mozambique
Descrição
The New Voortrekkers (Aug 1997)
When the Boers of South Africa set off on their great Voortrek 160 years ago into the African hinterland, they wanted to set up their own Afrikaner homeland and escape British domination. Now a group of Afrikaners, many descended from the original Voortrekkers, are setting off again, this time to northern Mozambique.

They fear that their farms at home are being swallowed up or given back to the newly affluent black and coloured South Africans. Many of the Afrikaners belong to the far right who have been active in the pursuit of an Afrikaner homeland. They claim that the move to Mozambique is merely to control their destiny. Mozambique's locals are not so sure the influx of Afrikaners is a good idea. Their forests are being felled and they fear losing their land. As the Mozambicans stamp and sing at a traditional ceremony, the white South African families hold a separate church service thanking God for a good harvest. Can the two groups live in harmony and who will really benefit from this 'Second Great Trek'?

A 20-year follow-up would be amazing

South Africa is quite an interesting social experiment... the world should pay more attention.

This story is from 2007 - I would love to see an updated followup video of how things have worked out since this video was made.

This family saw it coming

How are these farmers supposed to help the workers of Mozambique? By giving them work? By just giving money to them as if they are millionaires.? Shouldn't the farmers first be given the time to settle.? The farmers need help themselves! This is the old story, if the farmers can't make enough money to support themselves and to develop their farms, how can they start off by giving money to the workers? This sounds like the same idea as that of the workers in SA. They seem to want land that they never bought. Sounds like another dangerous and very risky situation!

I know this is a very old video 2007. It's now 2019 and we never ever hear about our farmers in Mozambique? How are you doing today.?

I remember meeting a family of Boers in Malawi in 2014. The things the man talked about were sad, but I had truly no idea on the subject.

Why is it allways the blacks needing help? Help for what? If you give them a house with all the amenities they use the bathtub to build a fire, if you give them machinery it end up broken and neglected, give them food and they start a war over it and so forth. It's the same story here in Argentina, give give give, and they never give nothing in return. Paternalistic policies only aggravate the situation.

Remember that this wasn't even five years after the end of apartheid.

In five years time, Journeyman should visit the family going to Mozambique to see how it worked out for them. The problem of moving into a very poor area is that even a poor white family will seem "rich" to the locals and then the problems begin. Need we say more?
