Farm attacks worst in Gauteng - study

[Kornhub]

Johannesburg - Gauteng is the most dangerous province in the country in terms of farm attacks, according to a new book released on Thursday.

Nearly 20% (about 663) of the 3 319 farm attacks recorded in the country between 1990 and 2012 occurred in Gauteng, according to publishing company Kraal Uitgewers.

Within the rest of the country, 15.3% of attacks happened in Mpumalanga, 15.2% in the North West, and 12.7% in Limpopo.

The Free State recorded 11.8%, KwaZulu-Natal 11.5%, the Eastern Cape 7% and the Western Cape 4.7%.

The Northern Cape was the safest province, with only 1.6% of farm attacks happening in the province.

The study is included in a book called Treurgrond: Die Realiteit van Plaasaanvalle [Place of Sorrow: The Reality of Farm Attacks] 1990-2012, released on Thursday.

Kraal Uitgewers said the figures were based on the number of attacks in each province, and were not related to the number of residents or the number of farms or smallholdings in the provinces.

The study found an average of three attackers were involved in each case. In some attacks there were as many as 10 assailants.

According to the book, 42.6% of farm attack victims were aged 61 or older.

People 51 and older represented 62.7% of all victims.

The book was compiled by Dirk Hermann, deputy general secretary of trade union Solidarity, Ilze Nieuwoudt from the union's publishing house Kraal Uitgewers, and Chris van Zyl from the Transvaal Agricultural Union.

No bra, I thought it would be way more than that considering all the hype each attack gets. I blame DA for playing its part in the sensationalism. They have helped to mislead me and many others into believing this was genocide. Last year 15 000 people were murdered, these farm attacks don't even average 200.

Genocide has stages. Interesting that Genocide Watch, has us at "stage 5: Polarization" or "Stage 6, the Preparation stage in the genocidal process" all the time...

Why are Afrikaner farmers being murdered in South Africa?
by Leon Parkin & Gregory H. Stanton, President – Genocide Watch
14 August 2012

The following report is the result of an intensive personal inquiry in South Africa conducted July 23 -27, 2012.

Deliberate inaction of the South African Government has weakened rural security structures, facilitating Afrikaner farm murders, in order to terrorize white farmers into vacating their farms, advancing the ANC/S. A. Communist Party’s New Democratic Revolution (NDR.)

The South African Government for the last 18 years has adopted a policy of deliberate government abolition and disarmament of rural Commandos run by farmers themselves for their own self-defense. The policy has resulted in a four-fold increase in the murder rate of Afrikaner commercial farmers. This policy is aimed at forced displacement through terror. It advances the goals of the South African Communist Party’s New Democratic Revolution (NPR), which aims at nationalization of all private farmland, mines, and industry in South Africa. Disarmament, coupled with Government removal of security structures to protect the White victim group, follows public dehumanization of the victims, and facilitates their forced displacement and gradual genocide.

Afrikaner farm owners are being murdered at a rate four times the murder rate of other South Africans, including Black farm owners. Their families are also subjected to extremely high crime rates, including murder, rape, mutilation and torture of the victims. South African police fail to investigate or solve many of these murders, which are carried out by organized gangs, often armed with weapons that police have previously confiscated. The racial character of the killing is covered up by a SA government order prohibiting police from reporting murders by race. Instead the crisis is denied and the murders are dismissed as ordinary crime, ignoring the frequent mutilation of the victims’ bodies, a sure sign that these are hate crimes.

However, independent researchers have compiled accurate statistics demonstrating convincingly that murders among White farm owners occur at a rate of 97 per 100,000 per year, compared to 31 per 100,000 per year in the entire South African population, making the murder rate of White SA farmers one of the highest murder rates in the world.

It's taken as a percentage of the total amount.

It's that percentage of the 200 that feeds the nation while the rest (14800) was mostly probably doing very little towards the well being of the nation.

Seriously now, all those unnecessarily deaths is a blow to the country but yet the ANC is to stupid and morally corupt to do anything concrete to reduce crime and violence by only implementing laws that will increase crime and murder as the criminal group's interest and rights are protected more thus the criminals flourish while the normal lawful citizens can do little to protect themselves..

How many blacks were killed during Apartheid?

The ANC went around the world while "struggling through correspondence" and told everybody that the whites are killing millions of blacks in South Africa.

To this day, people in the West think that the Apartheid government killed "millions of blacks".

This article proves that the ANC was responsible for far more "black on black" killings than the Apartheid government ever was.

The ANC never represented the majority of blacks in South Africa. They intimidated blacks into following them. There were loads of moderate leaders like Buthelezi and Mangope who were fighting for the rights of black people without resorting to violence, but the ANC chose the violent route, killing thousands in the most brutal killings.

The number of blacks that were killed by the Apartheid government is generally inflated by the ruling ANC. When they were spreading propaganda around the world during their "struggle", they rarely backed their claims up with facts, as one would imagine.

The Human Rights Commission in South Africa released statistics of all the politically motivated murders in South Africa during Apartheid, which lasted from 1948 through to 1994. The statistics speak for themselves:

Politically Motivated Murders in South Africa from 1948 to 1994:

Blacks Murdered by Blacks:

21000 people were killed in political violence during the 46 years leading up to the elections in April 1994.

14000 of these 21000 people were killed from 1990 to 1994

In the same period, 8580 black South Africans were killed by other blacks South Africans.

Another 4902 were killed by unknown forces, but it is generally assumed that these killings were black on black politically motivated murders. (necklace murders)

The ANC was responsible for mobilising black South Africans to murder other blacks who they thought were working with the Apartheid government.

Blacks Murdered by Whites:

The 7000 remaining deaths are generally attributed to the Apartheid government and includes the SANDF and security forces. A lot of these deaths were in South West Africa during the Angolan war. This number includes a massacre by the SANDF in 1978 in Kassinga where they killed 600 SWAPO refugees. It has to be noted that the Angolan War was fought with the undercover help of Western Nations in order to stop the Communists from taking over Southern Africa. These deaths also include white people who were killed by the ANC's terrorist military wings.

In the period from 1990 to 1994, 518 people were killed by the National Party's security forces.

In Summary:

The Apartheid government killed a maximum of 7518 black people during the 46 years of Apartheid. Thus white on black.

The liberation movements were responsible for 13482 politically motivated killings. Thus black on black.

Scum, killing random old people. I would like to find creative ways of keeping these scumbags alive.

Care to substantiate that, or are you just lying?

I'd be ashamed of using that source It appears wholly devoted to discrediting SA and most of the things they comment on is pro-white racist commentary

That is the worst part, you see these things and you agree with them, and you want to take them seriously, and THEN they go on about how these murders are coordinated, how it's the communists, how there is going to be a night of the long knives, they only post white deaths, the people on these pages are AWB, VF+ and stormfront supporters, etc. their beliefs are so disgusting that you can't take these murders they keep shoving in your face seriously

yes, 200 peopel are more improtant than 14800. they couldn't posibly offer anything

 

[Fudzy]

I'm gonna quite that story next time I see someone harping on about 3,000 white farmers murdered...

 

[Fudzy]

And regarding the other information about the deaths during apartheid, the majority of that political violence was orchestrated by the previous regime, providing the IFP with weapons and support.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Ha ha Genocide Watch.

 

[zippy]

I know. 3319 too many.

I blame the anc.

Compared to homicide rate of 50 per day, sounds like a farm is the safest place in the country...

3319 / 22 / 365 = 0.41

 

[Fudzy]

Yeah, unfortunately stats nor the media don't paint an accurate portrait of the concentration of murders.

 

[STS]

Ha ha Genocide Watch.

That's the best part, you should see who the site accepts donations from...

All those concerned people about genocide in the world, the concern about genocide in south africa has to be the most popular

Doesn't work. I repeatedly pointed to the TAU figures of farm murders and these genociders just stick their fingers in their ears and scream genocide repeatedly. It is a religious like belief they hold about this and no amount of factual information will ever convince them. That's why this thread is so short.
