I agree with this, and I also agree that there is no genocide, but, I think it would be irresponsible of us to ignore the facts surrounding these types of murders. Yes, murder is murder, but we need to draw a line here as some of these have proven to be hate crimes.
This is evident by the brutality in these murders. Again, without taking away the spotlight from the brutality of murders we see in some of the informal settlements during lynching's, such as stoning, necklacing, etc.
There have been many verified reports of the brutality, where these people who are isolated on farms, are tortured, often not for anything material, but to cause as much pain and suffering as possible. I dont need to give examples of the types of torturing as I believe we've all been exposed to this in one way or another.
Another point is that this doesn't have anything to do with colour. If I recall, recently a young black man was executed in front of his sister in one of these farm attacks.
These are not hate crimes against a race, these are hate crimes against those who are farmers or perceived to be farmers.
The EFF and MK rhetoric in all likelihood aggravates this as its a 'they and us' scenario. Understanding this is a struggle song, it should remain exactly that, a struggle song in the past. There is no Apartheid struggle now. There is no need to openly call for the murder of farmers.
