more brutal farm murders in southafrica this weekend

[northernladuk]

In the main, I agree with you in this thread. However, I think the trend of the farm attacks / murders in the last few years in SA has been that they now come with an increased desire to torture and punish. Many farm attack victims these days have boiling water poured over them or are burned with clothing irons etc. This means the motive is beyond a need to eat. The sense I have is that frustration, revenge and retribution is at play too.

There is other aspect that the media appears to putting shock factor first and facts second. I'm not sure how what happened in the middle of nowhere in a rather odd country and then spread around the world can be reported accurately down to the cause of death so I am very sceptical about the shock events. I have no doubt it happened but I very much doubt it's accurate as the truth would be very difficult to find and doesn't make a for a great shock and awe story.

I don't have a position on this but I do find it interesting how so many people take such angry viewpoints when it is clear they don't know the first thing about what they are talking about.

And I mean all of you.

When Europeans first entered the western cape it was almost completely devoid of any human life, it was not an easy place for indigenous people to make a home. Over the years these settlers farmed the land and built infrastructure; the farms needed workers and black farm workers came to live and work there from far away. South Africa became prosperous and comfortable and it sucked in people from all over the continent who wanted to share in it.

Most black South Africans are foreigners too.

I could go on but I doubt anyone will listen.

...and I think that this post ends the thread.

You've made your point Mr Donuts.
