Summary

Description
Afrikaans: Piet Kemp (66), 'n boer uit Mpumalanga, Suid-Afrika, inspekteer babamielies in sy nuwe tuiste te Sartichala, oos-Georgië, op 28 Julie 2011. Georgië het boere gewerf om lewe in hul kwynende landbousektor te blaas, en hoop dat Georgiese boere by die Afrikanerboere sal leer. Die Kemps en 9 ander Afrikanerfamilies het op 'n Georgiese werwingsveldtog gereageer weens Suid-Afrika se hoë misdaadvlakke, gebrek aan grondsekuriteit en die dreigemente van die ANC-jeugleier Julius Malema. Kemp het voorheen Suid-Afrikaanse boere bygestaan in arbeidsgedinge en tydens grondbesettings.
English: Piet Kemp (66), an Afrikaner farmer from Mpumalanga, South Africa, inspects baby maize at his new home in Sartichala, eastern Georgia, on July 28, 2011. Georgia recruited South African farmers to invigorate their dwindling agricultural sector, believing that Georgian farmers will also gain experience from the newcomers. The Kemps and 9 other Afrikaner families reacted positively to the Georgian recruitment campaign, being influenced by South Africa's high crime levels, lack of land security and threats coming from the ANC's youth leader, Julius Malema. Kemp formerly assisted South African farmers in labor disputes and during land invasions.
