Buys was acutely aware of white-run agricultureβs reputation, and the pressure for black farmers to produce higher yields. Yet he quickly became alarmed by the people coming to apply for previously white-owned farms. βTheir business plans were way out there,β he said. The applicants envisioned immediately owning fleets of tractors, with incomes in the millions. βWe would say: you are only just starting out! We would explain to them that even white farmers who have tractors and delivery vehicles and [irrigation systems] didnβt get to that level overnight.β
The applicants didnβt accept this, Buys recalled. They would retort: βThis is our time. You are a black government. You are our people. You should help us get these things so we can be like the ones for whom we once worked.β

The first was that, generations later, there were many more offspring than there had been original victims. And the beneficiaries β who, after a century of industrialisation, now came from diverse lines of work ranging from trucking to mining β had a far greater range of ideas regarding what should be done with the restored land than its original pastoralist occupants had ever had. Groups numbering into the hundreds were resettled on plots that had been owned by a single white family. Many quarrelled over its management, sometimes to the death.
The second, crueller problem was that the descendants of those deprived of rural land were also the least likely to have received the kind of education necessary to run a hi-tech farm in a globalised marketplace. Some couldnβt read; many hadnβt finished high school. Receiving a mechanised farm that immediately demanded the implementation of a computerised marketing plan for exporting the produce to Europe was, for these so-called beneficiaries of liberation, a little like receiving a welcome-to-your-new-country gift basket containing a screaming newborn baby.
