The purpose of this article is to investigate the effectiveness of the model used by the South African government to finance emerging black farmers for agricultural development and empowerment. It is widely acknowledged that the South African government spends a vast amount of money attempting to help black community members become commercial farmers. In this article, I argue that those who currently qualify for the funding are mostly farmers with little experience, expertise or interest in agricultural farming. The huge investment spent on such farmers ends up being lost in failed agricultural projects, and the government has not succeeded in finding better alternatives to empower emerging black farmers. Such activities benefit neither the government nor the black farmers intended to be assisted in various areas of the country. The black South African farmers remain agriculturally underdeveloped, while the government on the other hand loses a huge amount of money financing unsuccessful agricultural projects, which potentially threatens future food security. This article is conceptual in nature and uses literature to argue that the financing of emerging black farmers can only succeed if emerging black farmers are financed on basis of experience or ability and interest in farming and that such funding does not exclude potential public and private sector motivated employees who want to access such funding to pursue agricultural farming.

资助新兴的黑人农民发展南非的农业：建立黑人农民的浪费和不可行的模式

本文的目的是调查南非政府用于资助新兴黑人农民用于农业发展和赋权的模型的有效性。众所周知，南非政府花费大量资金试图帮助黑人社区成员成为商业农民。在本文中，我认为目前有资格获得资助的人大多是对农业没有经验，专业知识或兴趣的农民。花在这些农民身上的巨额投资最终因失败的农业项目而流失了，政府没有成功找到更好的替代方法来增强新兴黑人农民的能力。此类活动既不有益于政府，也不有利于打算在该国各个地区提供援助的黑人农民。南非黑人黑人的农业仍然不发达，而政府却为失败的农业项目筹集了大量资金，这有可能威胁未来的粮食安全。本文本质上是概念性的，并使用文献争论说，只有在根据经验，能力和对农业的兴趣为新兴黑人农民提供资金的情况下，才能为新兴黑人农民筹集资金，并且此类资金不排除潜在的公共和私营部门动机希望获得此类资金以从事农业耕作的员工。
