Whites no longer allowed to produce food (and many other things) in Zim

" I suppose that's because there is such an oversupply of food in Zimbabwe that you wouldn't want just anybody growing it. "

When will people realise that the aim of farms should be to produce food for everyone? That is their point. Full stop. If you want to piss around with stupid policies including 'righting past wrongs' with farming, you risk making the very people you seek to help starve to death.

Unless of course, you don't really give a shit about anyone in your country - black, white or whatever - and really just want to monopolise production for some pals of yours (including your wife) who have an incentive to reduce production and increase price ('cos that is what monopolies do - check out any Econ 10001 course) ensuring less food and higher prices for all. Black empowerment the Mugabe way.

Of course, you will blame the evil colonial powers of yesteryear because, of course, it is they who will have made your stupid policies fail.
