Farm Attacks

I'm surprised Afriforum had time to draw up a graphic- with all the POPs they need to scrutinize daily and "expose" to the media.
Yes, they are fantastically hardworking, sueing the incompetent sub intelligent EFF, catching Standard Bank out and still producing this graphic.
What an awesome Organisation.
Almost the opposite of the ANC...

The EFFs pending defamation suit against Afriforum will pay for a nice, shiney new grand rotating podium for Malema.

 
OT, but this is bound to cause more trouble and violence within the farming communities:


Aan die Weskus kook dit tussen die boere en die EFF, wat eis dat

1 Geen buitelanders op plase mag werk nie
2 Alle plaaswerkers met taxi's aangery moet word
3 Die EFF by alle aanstellings van plaaswerkers betrek moet word.

Die Saai en Afriforum groepering het uitgestap
 
At the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Lamola responded to criticisms on xenophobia and farm attacks. He blamed whites for both.

He also boasted of the successes of our education system which, while globally recognised as one of the worst in the world, was touted as having provided access to this poor quality education for over 10m children through free schools.

Concern about the xenophobic pogroms and lynchings in recent years were responded to in a particularly flippant manner. They were characterised as merely “sporadic attacks”, which are purely motivated by economic desperation.

Of course, Lamola and our diplomatic representative MS Nkosi took the time to explain that the predominant cause of these tensions was white people hiring foreigners and causing these tensions – that their exclusion of natives from the workforce was driving the economic desperation which led to farm murders.

As they wove this into a narrative around farm murders, they repeated that there was not a single case of racially motivated attack on white farmers, but plenty of instances of white farmers murdering their farm workers for racial reasons.

Interestingly, Lamola promiseed to release racial victimisation statistics, which have been embargoed since 2003, when a Mandela-era report commissioned into farm murders revealed that 66% of rural homicides were of whites, despite whites being only 5% of the rural population. The release of these statistics, if they do come to light, will be the first time in 20 years that racial crime statistics could be compared without resorting to small-n crime surveys.
 
Van Zyl, Head of Public Relations at the civil rights organisation AfriForum, did a presentation at the 16th session of the United Nations’ (UN) Forum on Minority Issues. Here he highlighted discrimination and hate speech against minorities in South Africa. Examples of issues brought under the UN's attention included the chanting of “Kill the Boer” by high profile politicians, the South African government withholding tariff-free export permits (for exports to the EU and UK) from farmers who do not meet certain racial criteria, as well as water permit applications being subject to similar race criteria.
