When one makes investment decisions, in particular, international investments, “country risk” is near the top of the list of priorities to consider. In other words, how friendly is the jurisdiction to foreign investment capital? How safe would your money be there? It’s not enough just to find good companies. You also need to figure out if the government is likely to do something to damage the economy or otherwise reduce the value of your investment.
Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe did a great job of ruining his nation’s economy. He confiscated land from white farmers who were highly successful and redistributed it to blacks who were not prepared to run those farms. The result was economic disaster. And recall the hyper-inflation that ensued. To sum it up, he made life worse for most everyone.
Unfortunately, Mr. Mugabe is not the only one who is capable of destroying his nation’s economy. In fact, the same thing is being repeated in another nation with, predictably, the same results.

when you starve to death your own fault
I ran into a fellow from South Africa while making a delivery to a collage. I asked him he ended up in the Midwest in the U.S., he told me it was no longer safe there, and they had to turn over their land to the government. He also said that ‘they’ (those given the land) were clueless on farming & agriculture…kinda wonder how things worked out there.

Makes for difficult reading without it.
No
She is trying to say the blacks are trying get payback but their payback had nothing to do with the people they are stealing the land from.
