The Congo was once the 'bread basket of Africa', and now white South African farmers are selling their homes to build a new life in the DRC. But will this new colony of expats overcome their prejudice and find the land of opportunity they hoped for?

Going from SA to Congo is like going from Syria to Afganistan, wheres the logic?🤣
This was done about 20 years ago; it will be interesting to go back to this story to see what happened.

Me being from the North of the country, any comment I’ll make about this case might seem divisive since there were conflicts between the North and the South. I’m actually shocked especially when that man said South Africans aren’t giving them enough job. Like how the f you want them to magically heal your economical problems?
Yeah i think what the politician said was correct, that the neighboring farmers were promised a cash injection and jobs on this land, and the south africans were promised the farm land; so the middleman between the congolese and south africans effectively caused this tension, and run off with the grant money; where now the congolese farmers have to compete against south africans expensive farm equipment
@@oogabooga2581 Don't think it's even the expensive farm equipment. Modern techniques, efficiency management modeling, modern accounting, modern hiring practices, and general educational levels will have them out competing any African single family holding peasant farmer.
@@Winnas Well yes, the point of the Congolese government inviting experienced south african farmers was entirely for this reason, and the anticipation from the neighboring congolese farmers hoping for work when the *big south african corperation* employs everyone; Instead it wasn't co-operative venture that they were promised that turned up, it was their competition.
@@Winnas 😉
@Certified Hot-head You don't see it yourself, but you're idolizing white people with this divide-conquer talk, they are people just like us, trying to make a living. That is why not even black people will listen to you, someone who wants to make enemies on behalf of a race of people... stupid
AFRICA is beautiful.., look at the Congo climate !! thy should be no famine here
Brian Ted then thank you for being the stupidest of them all...
Brian Ted thanks for being the stupidest of them all...
Id there famine in Congo Brazzaville ? In our Congo Kinshasa, we face some problems of imports ... the government keeps on importing instead of encouraging the locals ... we have plenty of food but due to lack of good infrastructures, fishes are dying of aging, the vegetables are rotting in many areas ... the government doesn’t make it easier . So all the efforts the people are going to make will mean absolutely nothing especially for a country as big as the DRC... I believe it is also the problem in many other countries.
@@brineted1010 there is only people starving in those countries ,because the white man has made it like that ,believe me ....
dude man Doubt is a sigil of wisdom. How did white people cause Africa to starve? Also I thought it was the whites that brought in all the hospitals and created all the farms to begin with. Are you talking about the Africa before any and all industrialization where you could die from a cut and had tribal communities and fighting? Because I somewhat find that agreeable.
Why not migrate to Europe ?
If you advocate a return of white South Africans to Europe, you have to agree with the Europeans who advocate the return of blacks who are in Europe to Africa. On the basis of reciprocity. This is how what you think?
Augusto Ribeiro Sure ! But there is an issue of reparations , pass due labor , compensation for sexual molestation ( DNA proof of this ) and kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment ! other fee's due upon exit ! If you can arrange for this We will leave posted haste ! Oh Ya we want all this in gold , platinum, Palladium ! No paper money !
Bob Bobbalina Right! But the work of these whites in South Africa who have made that the richest country in Africa and the inventions that whites led to your country, like the car, the radio, the TV, the computer, the train, the plane... should not be part of this agreement?
Augusto Ribeiro Right my backside ! we talking about my reparation
Bob Bobbalina All right, no need to be nervous...
I live in a small town in Kenya, there is a white couple who relocated here in the late 1990s. The husband was very social person, he even learnt how to speak Swahili fluently. Their children went to our local schools. I was in the same primary school with their children.
They left town in the early 2010. Last time I heard about them they had moved back to South Africa.
They came for the world cup and left after
Afrikaners aren't rich, but they are very hard working people and skilled. Congolese should learn agriculture and skills from them. Otherwise why don't they return to their homeland and seek help from government, they have to do so as everybody else. This ill treatment is not right for anyone. It is really ungodly.
@@rainbowtrust6347 learn agriculture frm who...why do u think Congolese r 🐒 I think they know how to reap their land more than these people..
Why was the grass not greener....they were born in SA and yet never spoke any of our African languages 🤔
A lot of them left in a hurry when it seemed that they no longer had as much power as they did before. A lot of them came back. It's not surprising that they'd even have an interest in learning your language and being accepting of your cultures because they had to pull up that facade that they weren't bad people, that they loved black people and it's black South Africans who were the problem.
White Americans do the same thing to black Americans. Thing is fellow Africans don't readily clock them so it really tends to drive friction between us all.
The attitude of the locals is amazing. They want people that have just arrived to solve all of their problems.
You can't blame them after being under slavery for so long. They were taught to depend on others to survive.
That's what local politicians promised the locals.

You, people, do know this was made in 1998 and this was put on youtube in 2016, that is 18 years ago that these farmers moved to the congo. Since we are in 2020 make that 21 years ago. You lot are arguing over something that happened 21 years ago.
Food point. It would be interesting to have a follow up documentary 20 years later
So it was okay to be racist in 1998? I didnt know that... thank you Johannes for clearing that up
We know, BRANIAC!.. These things are STILL been said in order to REMIND people of the MISTAKES BLACK AFRICA should NEVER make again!.. Get it now????
... And things like "school for whites" and buying up land for farming are some of the reminders that BLACK Africa has done away with!.. Let them experience RACISM too in the Congo!.. Still not welcomed in Africa, and WE are making sure! Just look at the attitude of the Boer farmers in this video for crying out loud??!... "Never eaten or sat down at a table with a BLACK MAN, but was now willing to sit and eat and talk to the village chief, just when it suits his purpose???... These are some of the rubbish we need REMINDERS about, and why we must make sure that it NEVER happens anywhere on the continent again, while we get rid of remnants of his type.
Still going on and has been in decades🤨

@ blackhawk7r221 I don’t know what are you smoking but me and you can see this guys can’t make ends meet. They had land for free in South Africa but they could not compete with whites who are politically connected or those who stole the South African economy so that they can always run to the courts. Our people must first burn the constitution here on South Africa then follow all the spheres of the government. The blacks who are in power today are protecting our abusers especially big corporate
I don't understand they say they don't want BLACKS? But moved to another African country!
Because living among their own is much worst.
, Only when they want to identify themselves as Boars. In Europe, they will be and are Caucasians. In Europe, they will not have to compete with Africans for land nor rights. In Europe, they will enjoy the media popularized Christian Caucasian love of life and brotherhood. Why "burden" themselves to live among Africans any longer? Who knows, if they act quickly, they might get a front-row seating for WWIII.
@Kamar G It isn't the Africans fault that the Creator created, then spoke them first. If you are of African descent, exactly what part of the earth, not your birthright? So please point in the direction we should begin our campaign. I humbly suggest, we start by fighting to change our hearts. Like it or not, as the firstborn, we don't have the luxury of pointing to any people who were born before us to place the blame. We, each of use has to change, regardless if you are first, second or third, we all are one in the eye of the creator. I hope we make tomorrow be the day our Creator witnesses a day, hour, minute, or second of the world without war, violence, and greed.

The narrator's voice was way louder than the people interviewed 1:20 into the video. It's annoying to turn the sound up to hear the man being interviewd, and then to have the narrator blast his voice. The volume levels on this video make it difficult to watch.
Let's just appreciate that at least someone was patient to fly across back and forth and managed to put this together. This is a great piece of artwork. Isn't it?
Thank you! I found that annoying too!
Same here
these farmers should move to Australia or new zealand
There is the alternative of Argentina, where live a small community of Afrikaans, and Brazil. But I agree with you: the best country for South Africans is undoubtedly Australia. Out of South Africa to move the Congo or any other African country is a bad idea.
Augusto ribeiro I agree with you it would be great for black south Africans to move to Australia and start a great living , Australia needs more and more black peoples
dude man As far as I know the problem for you in South Africa is not the blacks, it's the whites ... So what we are talking about is not finding an alternative for blacks, but for the white minority of South Africa.
dude man ok I caught your sarcasm, ha ha ha
dude man I hope that’s sarcasm
South African farmers are highly skilled. Its also a tough but rewarding lifestyle. These people know what work is and how to deal with risk.
@SAMUEL JESSE beautiful country/continent. Some of my people also moved there. They invited ZA farmers awhile ago. I don't know what came of it. I wouldn't want to be a farmer in ZA, even when it's beautiful there and most people are wonderful.

fuck boers ! let them die
I am a south african we are all surfering from crime bcoz the country is led by thiefs they can't put stricter laws against criminals bcoz they are also criminals who still goverment funds that is why south africa become a ganster paradise
As a white South African myself who left the country more than 20 years ago, I can actually understand the Congolese. Most of the South African farmers are indeed right- wing Christians who don't want to mix with blacks. They are definitely out there for themselves, and not to create better lives for the locals. They thought going there would have been the same as in the old South Africa where their was an abundance of cheap labour and blacks that will do whatever they tell them to do. Most of these farmers are paying locals next to nothing for working like slaves.
The South African farmers in other parts of Africa has basically established colonies like the Germans in South America for example. It is not their intention to integrate in their new countries, nor share their profits with the locals or to learn the local language or French.
On the other side it is difficult to be a farmer in South Africa these days with the high number of farm murders. If it's a good thing for them to move to other African countries? I'm not so sure.
Casper Walt thank you
Casper Walt
Thanks for your honesty. I think they're traumatised by blacks based on what they went through in SA hence the lack of desire to integrate with locals. Learning a new language is also a challenge. I think a Dutch speaking island in the Caribbean may be a perfect option for them.

Thank you for your honesty. Salute!
Casper Walt Genocide and slaughtering
Why wait for Europeans to come and give you jobs, the land is yours and you must do your own farming
Isabelle Roseline Schroeder I guess they don’t have the knowledge and experience.
Farming is not in many Africans' blood. Many Africans have tried farming previously and failed as in many African countries. It is just that farming is not for them and it is not in their blood, while hunting is.
WOPLE SAN tell them
They don't have the capital for the equipment. And they don't "own" that land - if they did, they could use it as collateral to secure a loan for the necessary equipment. That's why they failed in zimbabwe - a country who has no respect for property rights will not allow the land to be used as collateral.
That's how the whites were so successful. Every year they secured loans to start the harvest. Then paid off loans and enjoyed the remaining profit.
Sure the blacks can subsistence farm for enough to feed themselves but they can't commercially farm for the benefit of the country and to make themselves money
I was saying the same thing. But I truly think my people just lazy in their minds.
Afrikaans are very strong hearted people. Very hard working.
I that case go back to your own land and work there. Leave Africa.

One thing about South African white farmer ,they are the best farmers in the world ,they will make vegetable gardens grow in deserts and arid landscapes before 1995 South Africa imported food to many countries ,and was the breadbasket of the world.
That is a lie you NAZI.
Some of this guys where never farmers back in South Africa. You can see they had shacks before. You may find that they were junkies and now they introduce them as investors. If this guys are hard workers and investors then why they didn’t pull it together. This is how corporate South Africa survive here in South Africa since then to this day. Black slavery made Europe and Middle East rich. The same phenomenon of black slavery still persists in South Africa and is called employment. If anyone listened carefully you will hear the locals were not happy with the mentality of this white who want them to work for them in their land for free while they just directing them. In the first place they don’t even know how this people got on their tribal land. Hence when he go and approach local king he still has attitude. The other white guy who is from France understands the local dynamics he even mentioned that he was shocked to learn that South Africans can pull such project without resources. Here is another important thing here, the same white South Africans were paid by the Congolese government to farm and free land to farm. I wonder why the locals were not offered such opportunities. I am aware that other projects have collapsed while run by the locals but it was in the different area so locals should have received first preference before South Africans. If we continue to ignore how Europeans and relationship to slavery then we will always think this people are hard workers or idea generators. It was easy for the Europeans to disposed a black body before and it doesn’t mean today is hard as they approach the world as corporate not as slave master. But it is one and the same thing. Whites they always talk about hard work and intelligence but we know their brutal killing of black people has positioned them in the seat they are occupying today. The same whites will continue to kill anyone who stand on their way or affect their interests and claim the God will or favour. May the world see what is happening that it was never hard work but ruthless killing of the babies, women and men to get maximum attention and submission from the slaves. Today in 2023 the masters are still killing us in the hands of the black government in South Africa.
SA was never the breadbasket of the world

Why do you think your government gave these white people land for free ,I can assure you it's not free ,those people signed a lease ,and another farms don't happen in a few weeks or months ,it takes 5-10 years before a farm becomes fully functional ,why your government did not give you guys first option,I would not know ,maybe you should confront your government.

@tokkieandrews9988 You are either a first class idiot or a pathological liar. Boer farmers only thrived because they were heavily subsidised by the Apartheid regime. They used to receive loans at low interest rates to purchase seeds, fertilisers and machinery. The govt also imposed tarrifs on imported food stuff, this gave Boer farmers monopoly over the local market, and South Africans were made to buy food at high prices (because importing cheaply was difficult)! Moreover, the Boer farmers exploited Black people by underpaying them, or sometimes paying them in Alcohol (Cape wineries) or not paying them at all! White farmers thrived because they were cossetted by the apartheid regime and because they were able to exploit Black workers and customers.
Why would the Congolese invite people who've committed atrocities against African people in South Africa to come take advantage of them? smh

Absolutely, not. Do you realize how docile and conquered you sound? We never originally lived beside other races for millions of years. Other races will never let the African diaspora live in peace because their global social and economic dominance, relies on is being at the bottom. History has already proven that. If any member of the African diaspora wants to live amongst all the other races, they should be immediately ostracized, for being a liability to our sovereignty.

@Marvin Cooper you sound so evil. You have the nerve to talk about the treatment of whites on south Africa and Zimbabwe. The fact that blacks was treated awful for years. Black women was raped when they worked in the homes of white Africans . You must not forget the evil that was done to blacks in the time of aupartied. The fact is white Africans have always had a problem with treating blacks equally and with respect. Did you not forget the Berlin Confrence. The fact that the whites came in and separated Africa like it was their right to do. The fact is if the fact is if whites get away with they awful racist ways of being. They took the Africans most beautiful land. They came a d act like I'm Africa they need to have land deeds like in Europe. The Africans had a different ways of being . The fact that millions of Zimbabwe blacks was killed at the hands of the white racist piece of shit . That the Africans has to change the name of Africa. The point is how hard is it for you to learn and return the land to the rightful owner. The fact that white people and even France are living better lives on the resources of Africans.

The video was taken in the Republic of the Congo, yet the description talk about the DRC and some comment also talk about the DRC. Are you people aware that the DRC (The Democratic Rebublic of the Congo) and Congo (The Rebublic of Congo) is 2 different contries? The one still plagued by civil war (DRC) and the other (Congo) a much more peacefull, yet poor and under developed nation.
Thank you 👊👊👊
Go to the poor undeveloped one to build buisness.
They are one. Man dived Kongo.
I will be kind enough to give some context to the name confusion.
The Kingdom of Kongo, from which the name Congo was taken was a small Kingdom in Central Africa. This Kingdom was divided yes, but I'll come back to that afterwards to explain why it's bullshit to say whites divided the two Congos (that they were the same country in some past).
Before French and Belgians colonized territoires in Central Africa, the whole region was referred to as "The Congo", not because it was a country known as Congo, but because the only ancient Kingdom with ties to European countries/Kingdom in that region was the Kongo Kingdom. If you had to compare that "The Congo" to the Kongo Kingdom in size, it would be similar to comparing a football field to a 30 cm ruler or so.
So, what Europeans divided was not a country but a region with hundreds of Kingdoms and Chieftaincies which considered themselves different from each other. As a result, in some instances, rival Kingdoms were placed inside one country, in others some Kingdoms saw their territories split between different countries and this was the case for the Kongo Kingdom.
The French decided the name their share "The French Congo", because as I already said, the whole region was then referred to as the Congo. Later on, the Belgians named their share "Belgian Congo".
So, in short, if they did anything, they actually unified (or perhaps forced unity among) some territories and split some, but they did not separate a country named Congo. And most importantly, the confusion did not actually come from there. In 1958, right before independence, the French Republic granted some autonomy to its colonies, and the French Congo became a Republic, named the Republic of Congo, while the Belgian Congo remained that way till independence in 1960 where it was also named the Republic of Congo. That's where the confusion comes from, because then we had two countries with exactly the same name. To differentiate, the earlier was referred to as Congo-Brazzaville and the later Congo-Leopoldville (the capital cities were added to the word Congo). Although the later was subsequently renamed the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and then Zaïre and back to RDC, the confusion remained.
@Reality Tube, as you can see, I'm certainly not the idiot here. Next time do some research before talking about serious topics. Saying the two countries were the same would be similar to Saying that Gabon and Cameroun, or Tchad and Central African Republic were the same countries before being split by whites. Which is just ridiculous.
You know that you have a problem when you have spent all your life in a an African country and never sat at a table with any of the natives; not to mention that you are approaching a black person for the first time in your life, in Congo.

Dear Thomas,
Thank you for your mail asking for information about the South African Farmers in the Congo (Brazzaville). I was the journalist who went with the farmer couple, Sarie and Frans Cronje, to the Congo in 1996. As you probably know, there was a civil war a year later which lasted until 1999. The first democratic elected President, Lissouba, who had invited the South Africans was ousted by a military coup through Denis Sassou with the help of the Angolan military. All the South African had to flee. As I have heard, Sarie and Frans found work in Pointe Noire. He was working at a saw mill, but I have no idea where they are now.
Best regards,
Marion
Me too. That’s why I came straight to comments . Joe did they get on?
@@ThomasKorwaOtuoma so what is the update on the white farmers
Without sentiments, this people are making some simple mistake that some of their ancestors made.
1. Not learning the local language and connecting with the locals which is an important tradition across the world.
2. Live in Africa but never at with ''Black People''
3. Not having a strong economic strategy, which means they won't be able to make it anywhere else in the world. Even in Europe.
4. Not having enough money. Which is the reason they left South Africa.
5. Not knowing that their European ancestors made Africans to believe that Europeans superior and wealthy, so when a European falls behind that expectation, no one wants them around.
6. Believing that a land in a community belongs to no one.
Careful, that's called assimilation. Something immigrants in USA used to do. Now the liberals consider that racist.
@@ROCKDEES1 Assimilation into the economically dominant group (when the economically dominant group have a history of oppressing you) is what is to be avoided (because it often results in internalised hatred in the ones being "assimilated") - but we all know you're trying to be "cute".

Tell them, Africa means brotherly love and community living.

Beautiful Congo, coming to see my friends in Brazaville.
This is truly annoying. Why can't the government educate and provide agricultural equipment to the Congolese, instead the locals wait to be employed by the white South Africans in their own country.
I don’t really know what exactly happened but I know this part of the country isn’t really open when it comes to strangers. They sometimes don’t even like their own fellas from the North. I think they just don’t like strangers, maybe because of their history.
Makes sense, the last "strangers" they saw in large numbers were probably the Belgians...

Yes, the southerners were the first ones to actually get in contact with the Europeans, and things didn’t always go well between them.
And several million slaves were taken from Central Africa. More than anywhere else. They pretty much make up the Afro Latinos in South America. 300 million strong.Vastly outnumbering black Americans. I would be weary of foreigner, too.
@@t.e.stroud1781 Wells said. Moreover, these Boers are not the super farmers they purport themselves to be. Boer farmers only thrived because they were heavily subsidised by the Apartheid regime. They used to receive loans at low interest rates to purchase seeds, fertilisers and machinery. The govt also imposed tarrifs on imported food stuff, this gave Boer farmers monopoly over the local market and South Africans were made to buy food at high prices! Moreover, the Boer farmers exploited Black people by underpaying them or sometimes paying them in Alcohol (Cape wineries) or not paying them at all! White farmers thrived because they were cossetted by the apartheid regime and because they were able to exploit Black workers and customers.
Many people are posting comments without being well informed .First , you should know that there two countries called Congo in Africa .There is Republic of Congo or Congo-Brazzaville , and Democratic Republic of Congo or Congo-Kinshasa .These farmers are in Congo-Brazzaville .
These South African farmers didn't buy that land .The land was leased to them by the government for a certain period .Then the land will be back to the government .
How that happened ? In that province there are gold and iron deposits .More than twenty years ago , the former President signed a agreement with South African companies to exploit minerals .When the new president took office , the gold company decided not to continue .That's how the South African knew that province and its fertile land .
Any possibility of follow up video with same people?

Let them live peacefully. Y'all are welcome to congo. But do not bring Racism there.

@hyacintheebula835 White people do not have monopoly over intelligence (or beauty for that matter). If you were to bother reading widely, then you would find, Boer farmers only thrived because they were heavily subsidised by the Apartheid regime.

Why? Africa is more their country than it is yours.
Quick question: Can they farm in the caucasus mountains?????? I seem to never hear them talk about their HOME LAND.
Considering most of the caucus mountains traverse Armenian, Iranian, Asian demographics are you asking non caucus people to colonize the area? You do realize that the Caucus region isn’t majority “white” as you incorrectly assumed.
*Aside from the fact that the video shows the Chief of the village saying they were invited* because no one there knew anything about agriculture and was hoping the farmers could give ALL villagers a job. That’s the issue, not enough work, not the color of skin it’s work the villagers want from the farmers. Sadly, these farmers are not large corporations that can pay little wages to the whole village.
Yes, good point. I guess there are no Africans there to do the slave labour.
I am sadden the locals did not welcome these Farmers, These people are valuable asset in any country.
It is a pride thing. It will be a hit to their pride to allow white farmers and then work for them. Even if that means the people over all will be better off it still doesn’t matter.
these leaches can go back to europe instead of milking african resources
then they must go back to europe
Some of this guys where never farmers back in South Africa. You can see they had shacks before. You may find that they were junkies and now they introduce them as investors. If this guys are hard workers and investors then why they didn’t pull it together. This is how corporate South Africa survive here in South Africa since then to this day. Black slavery made Europe and Middle East rich. The same phenomenon of black slavery still persists in South Africa and is called employment. If anyone listened carefully you will hear the locals were not happy with the mentality of this white who want them to work for them in their land for free while they just directing them. In the first place they don’t even know how this people got on their tribal land. Hence when he go and approach local king he still has attitude. The other white guy who is from France understands the local dynamics he even mentioned that he was shocked to learn that South Africans can pull such project without resources. Here is another important thing here, the same white South Africans were paid by the Congolese government to farm and free land to farm. I wonder why the locals were not offered such opportunities. I am aware that other projects have collapsed while run by the locals but it was in the different area so locals should have received first preference before South Africans. If we continue to ignore how Europeans and relationship to slavery then we will always think this people are hard workers or idea generators. It was easy for the Europeans to disposed a black body before and it doesn’t mean today is hard as they approach the world as corporate not as slave master. But it is one and the same thing. Whites they always talk about hard work and intelligence but we know their brutal killing of black people has positioned them in the seat they are occupying today. The same whites will continue to kill anyone who stand on their way or affect their interests and claim the God will or favour. May the world see what is happening that it was never hard work but ruthless killing of the babies, women and men to get maximum attention and submission from the slaves. Today in 2023 the masters are still killing us in the hands of the black government in South Africa.

@@pieterviljoen2527 I am going to assume that you have taken time to study history (holistically) and ask you some questions:

2. What do you think would happen if these same countries did not have such problems (economically, socially etc.)?
3. In Saudi Arabia there is oil that is clearly benefiting the locals if one judges the quality of life there. How is that not possible in a country like Angola, Nigeria? Think long and hard and then engage.
4. Are these conflicts (in question 1) completely natural, in other words not financed by ANYBODY?
@@thobelandlebe4634 The human race is plagued with attrocities throughout history. We are sinful creatures. We can only learn from the past and forge ahead trying to not make the same mistakes - but we do. History proves that. @GivenFactNotFiction has fallen into the trap of the very thing his is accusing these people of. The Congolese Government invited them there and gave them the lasnd to work. They we invited!! The locals are stealing their things they bought on the property they were given. Take the fire wood for example. They are taking what they had already harvested. A little different if they had cut the wood themselves and carted it off. No race is imune from a horrid past. No race is immune from being slaves. No race is immune from murder, rape or anything else. We have all been down that road at some point in time.
Haha, I'll send one to your home to steal your stuff, let's see if you still think the same. What strikes me is that without these experienced farmers they will have an even harsher life. They should be thankful as unfarmed land is cultivated, jobs are created. It would be much nicer if Congo would be able to take care of themselves but apparently they can't and need external help. I think these type of unstable countries that do not put in the hard honest work will never manage to survive long-term and will slowly disappear. They need a competent government, capital and mentality shift imo.
Living in Congo is always a challenge since I lived there for many years. I learn to speak French and Lingala and that make things much easier. There is a huge opportunity to success there since you face very few competition.

Once a week I used to kill one old buffalo for them to have meat to supplement the beans we gave them.
