The competition just finished up a bit ago, and a white South African named Rayno Nel took home the trophy. It was his first time competing at World's Strongest Man, and his winning was a big upset over a couple of the sport's greats in Tom Stoltman and Mitchell Hooper, who have won the past four contests between them. I'm pretty sure Rayno is the first man from South Africa to win the title. This is pretty big for himself and his countrymen.

It isn't exactly the best of times to be a white person in South Africa right now.

Nothing has changed recently, it’s just hitting the news cycle now. Crime has been out of control for 30 years.

Yeah, it's so bad for white folks there you can murder your smoking hot model wife and be home in just 8.5 years.

To be fair, the defendant didn't have a leg to stand on.

Tim Tebow rescued that one girl from SA. She also happened to be Miss Universe.

Didn’t the laws allowing for seizing land change just in the last few years?

They also sing that catchy “kill the farmer” song. Seems like it’s gonna be a repeat of Rhodesia.

I feel like this used to always be on ESPN 2, but I don’t see it on TV now

They should just move to the US. We can make a trade. White South Africans for blacks who think they will have it better in Africa?
