SOUR GRAPES: A prime grape farm that once produced 30,000 – 40,000 boxes of export grapes, now lies in total ruins after the owner, Pieter Naude of the Denau Farm in De Doorns, gave the prime grape farm Alpha, away to 250 of his workers in a workers trust (communist collective farm) back in 2010. Mr Naude then also trained 2 managers for the farm and for the first 5 years, Mr Naude’s business also did Alpha farm’s books. What was this farmer thinking? Did he really believe that communism can work, or was it just pure greed, because The Western Cape provincial government carried the entire running costs of Alpha farm for the first 2 years. That is R 2 million that they got for free, but as we should know by now, all the free stuff communists promise you, is never really free and comes with very harsh strings attached!

The tyre was used deliberately, not only as it was the weapon of choice for Winnie Mandela, to burn black people alive who do not become extremists too, but also, as was mentioned in the video, to turn the white cross black!
