> Land reform to repair the inequality from the previous apartheid state isn't exactly "kicked out".

I don't know too much about Zimbabwe. From what I read about 4,000 white farmers lost house and land, and now 40 years later they are giving compensation. Why can't you say "kicked out" for that?

I do lack the knowledge to say if it was justified or not. But I consider that a kick on the way out.

Or do you mean that what happens in SA is not to be considered getting kicked out?

I mean that redistributing the fruits of an apartheid state to the previously second-class citizens is a net good, and to say they were kicked out without greater context does a disservice to the history.
