United States reveals demands about BEE, expropriation, and “Kill the Boer”

US should just claim South Africa and rename it State of South Africa. Trump will then make Orania the capital and give it a ICE/DOGE workover.

This is an important awareness campaign. Murder is a serious problem in South Africa, and we urgently need practical, workable solutions to address violent crime. My concern, however, is with what I see as the racial framing of the campaign.

According to SAPS, South Africa recorded 10,727 murders in just the first three months of 2025. That is an average of almost 119 murders every day.

The scale of the national crisis therefore deserves to be kept in perspective.

AfriForum's own 2025 report recorded 184 farm attacks and 29 farm murders during the entire year. In 2024, it recorded 176 farm attacks and 37 farm murders. These crimes are serious and every victim matters. But they represent a very small proportion of South Africa's overall murder problem.

My concern is that Black farm workers and other people living and working in rural communities can also become victims of violence. We should therefore ask whether our public conversation gives equal recognition to every victim, regardless of race, occupation, or social status.

SAPS itself has warned against automatically equating "farm murders" with murders of white farmers. In February 2025, the Ministry of Police said that the official statistics should distinguish farm-related crime from assumptions about the race or occupation of victims.

There is another important dimension that cannot simply be ignored: inequality and poverty.

Statistics South Africa's latest poverty analysis found that 37.9% of South Africans—about 23.2 million people—were living below the lower-bound poverty line in 2023. Significantly, Black Africans accounted for 93.6% of all people living in poverty.
These statistics do not mean that the suffering of white farmers or other rural victims should be dismissed. Every murder is a tragedy. Rather, they demonstrate why South Africa needs a comprehensive approach to violent crime—one that protects farm owners, farm workers, rural residents, township residents, women, children, and every other citizen.

We should also be honest about the country's history.

Colonialism and apartheid created profound racial and economic inequalities, and those inequalities have not simply disappeared. Policies intended to address those historical disadvantages therefore need to be discussed alongside crime, poverty, employment, land, education, and economic opportunity—not treated as unrelated issues.

My fellow white South Africans, I appeal to you: let us not ignore uncomfortable facts simply because they challenge our preferred narrative. Let us acknowledge the suffering of every community and work toward solutions that protect every South African, regardless of race.

As Christians, we are called to pursue justice, love, mercy, reconciliation, and peace.

We should not fight injustice with another form of injustice, nor allow racial fear or resentment to prevent us from seeing the humanity of others.

May the Lord of Hosts, through the power of the Holy Spirit, give us greater love, humility, wisdom, justice, and compassion. May He deliver all of us from racism, prejudice, privilege, arrogance, and hatred.

And may God give us the wisdom to find practical solutions that make South Africa a safer, more just, and more prosperous country for everyone.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

For years, South Africans have heard political songs and slogans invoking violence against farmers and minority communities.

We have heard threatening rhetoric directed at white landowners and language that deepens hostility between communities.
Lex Libertas believes this should never be accepted as a normal part of political life.

Hate speech and the incitement of violence are at the forefront of the White Cross Project - alongside three other serious concerns: expropriation without compensation, race-based laws and farm murders.

We are taking these issues to the international stage.
