Extract of an email in response to someone from the DA in Kimberly that wanted to investigate and spotlight the project on 12 Feb 2016 : - "The one man that saved them the most, they jettisoned. Mr Piet Cloete took control of most of the implements and looked after them for a very long time indeed. Had he not done so, most of the ANC supporters that were in the project and stole and sold them off as they did with most of the other infrastructure and implements. The Land Bank refused to pay him anything for his efforts and treated him very badly in the end.

As far as I am concerned the whole thing was a scam aimed at undermining all the legislation that entitled the tenure holders to get title of the land under the land reform process. Most of the tenure holders were DA supporters and therein lies their causa. The ANC is obsessed with communal land ownership represented by some juristic structure so that they can create some project that they can all dip into and then incite enough political infighting to make it fail - so that the land reverts to state custody and they can try and swing yet another project to milk. It is the age old disease of communism and socialism driven by corruption and greed that is earmarked by failure everywhere in the world where it has been tried. It will never work and the 100% failure rate in land reform projects proves the point.

These impressions, I doubt will find any resonance in modern politics. As far as people like me are concerned the process must run it’s course and end up in the same condition Zimbabwe is today – looking for hand-outs from those who infected everyone with the disease in the first place, namely the UN and its aid agencies under the World Bank, and BIS. It took me a relatively short time to see what was going on and with the advice of ASIO I withdrew from assisting land reform in the SADEC region completely. There is nothing I can do to assist other than provide a formula that will be workable as per the keynote presentation I made and which is on the net. The rules that need to be applied to make those structures work have not been published and those are available against reasonable compensation of course. Implementing them will take someone with a firm hand and that too is similarly available.

As far as your desire for redress is concerned, if the president laughs off any notion of accountability, then I anticipate you will encounter people who will simply follow his example.

Ignore all the negativity if you can and let me know if you think I could assist. People like Mr. Cloete definitely would like to see some justice prevail.
