The tragic story of farm attacks and murders in South Africa is one that has been pushed aside for far too long.
The recent incident involving 79-year old farmer Theo Bekker being brutally tortured and murdered on a farm in the Grootvlei area in Mpumalanga province (formerly known as East Transvaal) following radical leftist Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) leader Julius Malema’s inflammatory speech further proves the dire consequences of xenophobia, genocide, and political silence.
Elon Musk spoke out against this issue but so many other prominent figures have remained silent.
This raises an important question: should we be doing more to protect those living on farms in South Africa?

Farm attacks are unfortunately commonplace throughout South Africa with 5 cases reported within a four-day period before Malema’s speech alone.
Afrikaner civil rights organization AfriForum has attempted to challenge these issues through legal action by suing former ANC Youth League leader Malema numerous times for singing the “struggle song” Kill the Boer which is commonly used to incite violence against white persons.
However, despite their best effort, they failed to get it recognized as hate speech by the Equality Court earlier this month.
This means that these songs can still be used without repercussions or legal ramifications even though they obviously promote racism and violence.

This is all downstream from the rotten secular religion of wokeness and CRT plaguing America today.
You have been warned.
WATCH.

In addition, there were 9 farm attacks and 2 murders from July 22nd to 30th according to Afriforum security spokesman Jacques Broodryk as well as an elderly male victim killed after his door was broken down on August 1st in Biesiesvlei North West province.
Furthermore, President Cyril Ramaphosa has denied the problem altogether when speaking at New York 2018 saying “there are no farm killings in South Africa”, yet his words have done nothing to address or prevent these heinous acts from continuing across the country.
It is clear that something needs to be done if we want any chance of protecting those living on farms throughout South Africa.
Kill the Boer: @AfriForum will tackle @Julius_S_Malema and the @EFFSouthAfrica's hate speech in the Supreme Court of Appeal on 4 September.

Ernst Roets wrote a book called “Kill the Boer” which highlights how there is an alarming spike in both farm attacks and murders after rallies where politicians like Malema sing “Kill the Boer” while promoting violence towards white persons.
And yet very few people have taken notice or sought justice for their deaths or injuries suffered due to this blatant racism and hatred towards a particular demographic group within society.
Responding to Malema's "Kill the Boer, kill the farmer". After the chant, several farmers were attacked on their farms in South Africa. 79-year-old farmer, Theo Bekker was brutally murdered. He was severely beaten before his throat was slit.

This critical issue must be addressed, not denied as @TheDemocrats favor.@afriforum and the broader @solidariteit network are critical in the fight for minority rights in South Africa. We were proud to host @ErnstRoets previously, and we look forward to having him back! https://t.co/2CSmkNZl1E
