This is an example of a farm attack.

'He is accused of raping and drugging women after luring them to his Aberdeen farm in the Eastern Cape on the pretext of offering them work as babysitters or administrative jobs.'

I was just wondering if Afriforum included his attack in their stats?

I don't see why the mods would find it off topic?

There are more policemen than farmers, yet year on year more farmers have been killed than police and this excludes farm laborer's. The impact on a farmer been killed as opposed to a policeman is greater, a farmer has a family and a number of workers relying on them besides the impact on crop and food production. To train a policeman takes about a year to train a farmer takes many years. ,

I am sure if you break down all murders in the country according to their categories of occupation you would come up with very interesting results, and probably very inconvenient.
 
260/ 100000 deaths

Being a ward councillor is definitely more deadly than farming.

Let's see Afriforum go and organize a protest to have more security for ward councillors.

In South Africa, ward councillors such as mayors are at a significantly higher risk of being murdered compared to the average person. This risk is particularly pronounced in the province of KZN.

What does that have to do with farm attacks? Go create a ward councillor attack thread. Holy crap :rolleyes:

What question? You didn't ask one.

I don't see that as a farm attack. It's a crime on a farm, different issues. Farm attacks are about intruders targeting farms. Go ask afriforum if they included the stat in their report, only they can tell you.

Afriforum's statistics are notoriously not very reliable and independent fact checkers, such as Africa Check have highlighted their inaccuracies and manipulation of stats before.

I didn't say leave. I said create a thread for ward councillor attacks instead of posting it in a thread all about farm attacks.

You are being slightly unfair in this instance, a comparison was made about farmers being murdered more than policemen, this comparison to ward councillors is along the same line and just as on topic, you will note that you did not take any umbrage against the poster who did the comparison with police killings, neither did you point him to go make a thread about police killings.

Just saying...

Slight difference in that the ward councillors are actually killing among their own group, competition to get those jobs is fierce. This would be akin to farmers killing among themselves to take over the rival farms.

I suppose you could also compare the numbers to that of murders within prisons, and then make the same argument.

Heck, any half-decent strawman would do! But that doesn't make it less of a strawman.

Ah, that club you so love? Most are nothing more than gang leaders, with a sheen of legitimacy that politics gives them, doing the killing themselves. Crime, tenders, kickbacks and politics pays. It's literally a case of living by the sword ...

If one farmer committing a crime gives you lot a hard on, you will find plenty with ward councilors to keep you in orgasmic spams for a long, long time.

So yes, go open a thread about political killings. Why, our local Carl may even join you, trying to normalize the typical child abuse in your group in his usual contrarian stances.

Cheers! :thumbsup:

Is this a racial comment?

I haven't read the full thread

Are the guys that like it part of your race group as well?
I think both of them also have race at the very core ?

Read the full thread first and see if it doesn't address your confusion.

Some of the okes blast others for sharing IOL sources, but I guess IOL is okay when they print something that suits the narrative?

The National Assembly rejected a motion called by the Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus) to establish an ad-hoc committee to investigate farm attacks.

The motion was denied by Parliament on Thursday after the African National Congress (ANC) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) rejected the idea.

FF Plus leader Pieter Groenewald said the farming community was critical for the country's economy and needed to be protected.
