Aug 1997 When the Boers of South Africa set off on their great Voortrek 160 years ago into the African hinterland, they wanted to set up their own Afrikaner homeland and escape British domination. Now a group of Afrikaners, many descended from the original Voortrekkers, are setting off again, this time to northern Mozambique. They fear that their farms at home are being swallowed up or given back to the newly affluent black and coloured South Africans. Many of the Afrikaners belong to the far right who have been active in the pursuit of an Afrikaner homeland. They claim that the move to Mozambique is merely to control their destiny. Mozambique's locals are not so sure the influx of Afrikaners is a good idea. Their forests are being felled and they fear losing their land. As the Mozambiquans stamp and sing at a traditional ceremony, the white South African families hold a separate church service thanking God for a good harvest. Can the two groups live in harmony and who will really benefit from this 'Second Great Trek.'? Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

@kmfw72 Lived off? Dont you mean cultivated? Theres a big difference. People who found cities, bring technology, medicenes and food to the local Blacks, farm the land, bring law, order and infrastructure - just as the Boer did these are hardly "parasites".

@ukusapillage Can't get a visa? That's funny, seeing as Portugal is so poor, people there are now going to Mozambique as well as Angola. Portugal lived off Mozambique and Angola, then the EU, now Germany is fed up with subsidising you, you're going to your former colies, from Brazil to East Timor, with a begging bowl. Parasites.

my family lived there for about 100 years, they also lived in south africa, mozambique was alot untaped potentitial, the only reason why theyarent rich as south africa is or was is becau their corrupt government, when we left mozambique they had everything running and going, after 3 years everything was ruiuned, we even build them a huge dam biggest in africa called cabora bassa they never paid us a penny for that and now if you r portuguese you cant even get a visa to visit the country

The whites should not say they own this land, the government has given it to them for free.

I do not think things will be any different in Mozambique if the white farmers continue to the think they are more important than the blacks. The world is changing the blacks and white want the same things. Better life for each other, if the whites continue to take hectares of land without the regard for their neighbours(blacks) it will not solve the issues. White africans need to learn to integrate with blacks and Blacks need to accept the white africans.

@sanik00 True.

@smeggerss How did the British start Apartheid? Didn't the dutch colonists , especially the Boers take Zulu slaves and when the British came into cape colony they tried to introduce racial equality? And this pissed of the Boers who took their slaves with them and wandered into the interior of SA (The Great Trek)? I swear i have read that.... I know that their were other reasons for the Boers leaving Cape Province.
