Black South Africans tried to get whites to sell the land they stole back. Whites refused. So the South African government took steps to confiscate the stolen land. In classic white racist fashion, Afrikaners started whining about how unfair that was, and of course, the American right ran to take their side. The claim of white genocide is a lie, and the claim that white farmers are getting slaughtered is also a lie. It's time the right wing stopped repeating lies day after day after day.
The widely discredited allegation was amplified by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, in an extraordinary meeting with his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa.
Trump told Ramaphosa that white farmers in South Africa were being killed and "persecuted".
On Friday, South African Police Minister Senzo Mchunu said that between January and March, five out of the six people killed on farms were black and one was white.
The white victim lived on a farm, while the black people who were killed comprised two farm owners, two employees and one manager.
Mchunu said that in the previous quarter, from October to December 2024, 12 murders on farms were recorded. One of the 12 - a farm owner - was white.
It is the first time that South Africa's crime statistics have been broken down by race, but Mchunu said he had done so as a result of the recent genocide claims.
