The MSM falls all over itself angrily advocating the targeted killings of White farmers is NOT a genocide

https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/politics/fact-check-white-farmers-south-africa-trump

Even when White farmers have been killed in South Africa, it has often been unclear that the crime was motivated by race. A South African government commission in 2003 found that the primary motive behind most attacks on farms was robbery. South African experts have reached similar conclusions this year.

Apparently what matters is motivation. Take heart White South Africans. When a mob breaks down your door in the middle of the night, drags your family out to be tortured and murdered, its cuz you had stuff they wanted! Why so upset? Just let your family get tortured and murdered, we have to prove Trump wrong!!!

In 2020, late in Trump’s first term, the State Department released a report on human rights in South Africa in which it said, “Some advocacy groups asserted white farmers were racially targeted for burglaries, home invasions, and killings, while many observers attributed the incidents to the country’s high and growing crime rate.” The State Department went on to surface arguments against the notion of race-motivated farm attacks. It wrote, “According to the Institute for Security Studies, ‘farm attacks and farm murders have increased in recent years in line with the general upward trend in South Africa’s serious and violent crimes.’”

It's not targeted killings, its just random violence against White farmers, and who cares anyway, all of South Africa is killing each other all the time and this is just a drop in the bucket.

During the Wednesday meeting, Trump tried to bolster his case by making apparent reference to an expropriation law Ramaphosa signed this year in part to help remedy the racial inequality in land ownership that still plagues South Africa three decades after the end of apartheid. (A 2017 report found that White people owned 72% of the country’s farms and agricultural holdings by individual landowners.) The new law has been attacked by Trump ally Elon Musk, who is from South Africa.

The law requires the government to provide “just and equitable” compensation, in most cases, to a landowner whose land is expropriated. But it also allows seizures without compensation in certain cases – from owners of any race – when the seizure is deemed “in the public interest” and certain conditions are met, such as the land being abandoned, the land being unused because the owner’s main purpose is to benefit from its appreciation, or the land having a market value the same or lower than government investments or subsidies in it.

Hey! South Africa hasn't taken anyone's land...yet. Stop calling attention to this new law we just passed to take farms from private land owners.

The shocking thing is that they have farms. Look at how they let these once thriving farms go to waste. But wait let’s take and loot more under the guise of caring for our people!

KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Farms

In the Empangeni and Eshowe districts, over 21 farms were purchased by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) since 2004. These properties, once productive in sugarcane and citrus farming, now lie fallow. Infrastructure such as irrigation systems and farmhouses have been vandalized or left to deteriorate, resulting in job losses and economic decline in the region.

Eastern Cape Farms

The DRDLR acquired four farms in the Buffalo City Metro area for approximately R29.1 million, intending to support emerging black farmers. However, these farms have become derelict. For instance, Hopewell Dairy Farm, once producing over 1,000 liters of milk daily, now produces less than 50 liters. Eversly Farm and Echoing Hill Farm are similarly abandoned, with equipment left unused and infrastructure in disrepair.

Ntingwe Tea Estate

Acquired as part of land reform efforts, Ntingwe Tea Estate in KwaZulu-Natal has faced significant challenges. Despite a government investment exceeding R150 million, the estate has been left unmanaged, with no tea harvested for several years, leading to financial losses and unfulfilled potential.

State-Owned Farms Nationwide

Minister Thoko Didiza reported that approximately 896 state-owned farms, covering around 700,000 hectares across provinces like Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, and North West, are underutilized or vacant. The government plans to lease these lands to the public on 30-year terms, with an option to buy, aiming to revitalize them.

@TangledUpInBlue You and I have spoken about this before. It pains me to say it, but I firmly believe South Africa is going the way of Zimbabwe....aka Rhodesia...

@TangledUpInBlue It's so infuriating to read. How do you mismanage farm land???

For God's sake, distribute it and get it productive. This is not hard, and it should not take that long.
@SumKindaMunster sadly it’s every aspect of our country. The railways, the airline, the power the water the schools the police the roads. It’s goes on and on and on.
@SumKindaMunster yeah it’s starting to look that way, so sad. Such a beautiful country filled with. Some great people of all races. It could’ve been co good.
