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.

Originally posted by oracleslave View PostIn 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.

but out of interest i have checked some statistics and it appears that the murder rate for white farmers in sa is 200 per 100k whilst the murder rate for the black population in south africa is 30 per 100k, im sure you will put that down to a statistical anomaly though, absolutely nothing to do with the songs of hate sung by the likes of Zuma and Malema

Why aren't you fighting for the lives of the black people who are being murdered more so than whites? Or do only white lives matter to you and murdered non-whites aren't worth complaining to our MPs about?
