It is a myth that colonial and apartheid farming in South Africa was successful, says Political Analyst and Director of Research at ASRI, Angelo Fick. ANCPolicyConference

Fick says, “It is important to bear in mind that the historical record that colonial and apartheid left a legacy of indebtedness. The cultural records of how apartheid and colonial writers, wrote about, painted and made films and television series about that experience and it wasn’t a rosy experience … text exists … television series of apartheid years are all about failed farms.”

He argues that “to reimagine a post-apartheid farm as somehow an essential tool for the success of the food project is also to ignore what the global literature tells us.” Fick says if South Africa is going to implement land reform and land restitution policy it needs to be supported by programs that will also help the people who take occupation of that land to be productive with it.

“And I don’t just mean grow food. Productive on that land in ways that serve them and their needs beyond merely being in possession of it.”national policy conference, encouraging everyone to treat the event as a festival of ideas for the advancement of the country., however, that the last two decades have seen the “thinning of the intellectual component” of the party.

Assuming this to be true, what has ANC done in response to this?

But that is better than anc government

Well, every SINGLE agricultural project of the ANC failed dismally. So what's next?

Fick is too thick to be taken seriously. In any business venture especially in uncertainty to what one can expect in farming ..So bankruptcy is/was always a possibility.What he forgets is that was it not for the farmers many here would have starved to death.
