My research says that farm murders in South Africa are at their lowest rate in 20 years.

Know what else is at the lowest rate in 20 years? White farmers in South Africa.

The most murders occur in the most populous areas, shocking..shocking.

This map does not address “urban” murders ... only “farm” murders.

Hence my question of whether this “farm attack” issue is really a matter of a political pogrom (“genocide”) against Whites, or instead simply a matter of urban thugs going into the nearby countryside to rob and kill ... because they are less likely to be caught in the act at an isolated farm than in a dense urban neighborhood.

The answer is yes.

Racism against whites is part of the equation. The government imprimatur on that racism is part of the equation. A completely lawless society is part of it. The fact that white farmers actually have cash and things of value to rob is part of it. And a broken Justice system on the back end is part of it.

yet Cape Town (Western Cape province) is the largest city in the country, and there has been only one of these “farm attacks” within several hundred miles of the city. Interesting.

Interesting? Depends how much you gloss over important differentiating factors.

I mean. . .Capetown is overcome with drugs and gang violence. . .has a FAR more diverse economy. . .and many Capetown farms were abandoned after the drought of 2015.
