Doubt it is any sort of plan. They're just incapable of stopping crime anywhere in this country. If it was white people they plan to kill then why just farmers and not all of the other white people. Conspiracies and tinfoil hattery don't help.
I'm sorry what? protest to who you say? Listen. Politics is a messing game and they all do not give 2 cents until election day comes. No, what all the farmers need to do is band together like they did a year back and lockdown small towns kick out the local governments and establish small settlements. Stop trading to the bigger cities and get local/international news revved up. Farmers need to take a stand, like us all.
Yes, removing the commandos was intentional. The ANC I think did that because they saw the commandos as a militia plus they were almost entirely made up of former apartheid soldiers and operatives. In addition to that, I think they saw it as abandoning their voters while offering special protection to mainly white farmers. Their own people were and are suffering worse. (I know the debate about farm murder per capita and how those numbers are muddled depending on who you ask).
The singing of the song is regrettable and stupid. And it does vilify people already under siege.
Various government people have condemned farm violence and murders. And even promised special focus - not sure what ever came of that.
Their inaction speaks louder than words. From the beginning they dismantled the structures that could protect the farmers. Fact is that a lot of people in the ANC considers business and farmers as the enemy. That mindset has not changed.
We see, we hate what you are doing, we take your useless life.
Exactly. The farm attacks are often carried out with military precision, nothing stolen, or just a cellphone and landline cut, this ensures possible targets that survived / were missed can't call for help. Perhaps it is time to open your eyes to what "Kill the Boer" means, and no, it is not a metaphor for Apartheid. Have you not noticed the EFF and others calling for land, do you not know the importance of getting people of the land in Marxist rhetoric, have you not noticed that Mandela holds hands with late Joe Slovo under a massive hammer and sickle, do you really still think Communism is something to be soft on, do you get it that the ANC always has been a terrorist organization with their military branch, MK having torturing their own people. South Africa is not the la-la land that especially anglo liberals pretend it to be.
It is easy to strip a farm from loads of stuff, especially after all is dead and the landline cut, but often nothing or only a cellphone is stolen, why ?OK, so a farmer is more likely to be killed than a city dweller.
Now in the city, a township dweller is much more likely to be murdered than a suburb dweller, so is that also a government plan? Genocide of poor people? But that's the ANC voting base.
Could it be that farms are just easy targets? Similar to how a township dweller is an easier target (harder than farm, many more people around) than a suburb dweller with their alarm and armed response.
