MILLION SOUTH AFRICANS BOERS WANT TO MOVE TO SOUTH OF RUSSIA
Posted on September 26, 2018 by tim
A group of boers (South African white farmers of mainly Netherlands descent) arrived this summer at the Kuban region of Russia – Krasnodar city – the third most populous region of Russia after Moscow and St.Petersburg and the first in farming gross product.
The boers are exploring the possibility of moving as many as three million people to Russia after new laws were adopted in South Africa allowing the nationalization and confiscation of the land from white South African farmers.
However, in Russia there is still no possibility for them to own land. As per local laws, they would only be able to rent the land for 99 years.
Each boer family is planning to bring up to $500,000 cash with them when they move to Russia, which can be a good investment into a local Russian economy, local authorities think.
In the photo: South African guests visiting the village of Donskoe. Founded in 1777 by Cossack settlers, this place and the neighboring communities could become the new home for South African farmers. Posing here with Vladimir Poluboyarenko, the Russian ombudsman for Stavropol.
The Russian ombudsman in the Stavropol region, Vladimir Poluboyarenko, says that “boers contacted us after they learned that German families moved to the South of Russia last year. They are sort of in danger there in South Africa, many have already left to go to different countries, but a lot of boers want to come to us, to Russia. They probably believe in Christian morals. Why the South of Russia? Probably because they have genetically gotten used to hot weather, and the best thing is that they don’t ask anything from the state! More than that, every family will bring up to $500,000 with them. All they want is a residence permit and the possibility later to receive citizenship, and also a right to rent land for long time with a right to buy it later. Thirty families are already ready to come to Kuban or Stavropol, Russia anytime now”
In fact, South Africa is a developed country on the African continent, with an industrial economy such as mining, machinery manufacturing and even nuclear power. The wonderfully diverse economics is not limited to the industries though. Lately the Internet section is booming. Online Shopping grows tremendously in the country lately, as well the recent booming industry of Online Betting on sports. People more and more enjoy making things from the comfort of their homes, rather than visit a business. I guess, that situation is the same all over the world now more or less.
However there have been tensions lately between different social groups of the population, and crime rates are rising in some parts of the country, which also might contribute to the late boom of the Internet sector in South Africa, and which also make some people, like this group of Boers, want to emigrate and find a home away from home, even as far away as in Russia.
