I wonder how many people would agree or not?

Food for thought
According to the statistics for the year 2019 supplied by the South African police, there were 21,325 murder victims of which 49 were white farmers. Now for a small country like our those figures are horrific. This does not include violent assaults, torture or rapes. Only murders.
So if the government takes away self defense as a reason to obtain and own a firearm, what will our figures escalate to?
The current process for obtaining a firearm license is nearly as bad as applying for a security clearance to work for the government. Only problems is the police dont have sufficient trained staff to process the applications and do the required checks that they put into law.
SUNDAY MURDER
On Sunday a 62 year old caretaker of a small holding in Brits, North West Province, South Africa, was murdered.
He was attacked outside his house and it seems that only the house keys are missing. His car which was parked nearby wasn’t even stolen.
This is the second attack on farmers this weekend where nothing was stolen, but they were still murdered. The percentage farm attacks that result in arrests or prosecutions in relationship to attacks is very small. The ANC did away with the local Commando forces which for years ensured stability in rural areas. The local SA Police dont have the manpower or expertise or tackle farm murders and are left floundering away without concrete results.
The attacks on legitimate white and black farmers seems to my view to be focused on removing the farmers from their farms and then distributing these farms to cadres of the ANC and the members of COSATU and the SACP. Brings back memories of what happened in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.
Another Farm Murder.
Niel Mckay was 26 years old when he was attacked while working as a foreman on a farm. He was shot leaving him paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair.
His late father helped him set up a farm about 3 years ago in Winterton, Kwazulu, South Africa where he continued farming even while being in a wheelchair.
On Saturday 10th April 2021 Neil McKay was murdered on his farm.
His mother arrived at the farm late is Saturday and found him tied up in his wheelchair. He had been beaten and allegedly strangled to death. From investigations it seems he had been attacked outside the house and dragged into the house where he was allegedly murdered.
This was no robbery. The television and other electronic equipment were not taken as happens in 100% of robberies here in South Africa. THIS WAS A SENSELESS FARM MURDER ON A HELPLESS PERSON
Genocide
Victim of farm murder
Looking through the papers for the last week I see the following press release below didnt feature at all. Not even a peep out of the SABC either.
SAD!
It is no longer just white farmers that are being murdered in South Africa. Now the deaths are starting to include black farmers who obtained farms under the infamous land claims as well.
It is easier for some politician or ANC ‘heavy’ to have a farmer murdered, and then buy the farm for practically nothing, than to have to go through the process of buying it on the open market at market related prices.

International Community takes notice of farm killings in SA
TAU SA is experiencing an increase in enquiries from international institutions about murders on farms in South Africa.
This is mainly as a result of a visit by TAU SA’s Assistant General Manager: Communications, Mr Henk van de Graaf, to Europe. Mr Van de Graaf arrived back after a week long information tour focussing on violent crimes on farms. The highlight of his tour was a visit to the European Parliament where he was the key note speaker at a public meeting of European Parliamentarians. During his presentation Mr Van de Graaf pointed out that circumstances in South Africa are even worse than in Zimbabwe. In South Africa 1 554 farmers have been killed on their farmscompared to 24 on Zimbabwean farms. “Institutions like the EU imposed personal sanctions against Mr Mugabe and members of his cabinet. Perhaps the EU should consider imposing personal likewise sanctions on mr Jacob Zuma and members of his cabinet, for not doing enough about this problem. Farm murders in South Africa also need to be declared a crime against humanity,” Van de Graaf said.
“A short extract of the documentary film ‘War of the Flea’ was also shown to the parliamentarians. Especially Steve Hoffmeyr’s remarks on genocide underline TAU SA’s point of view on this issue,” said Van de Graaf.
After the visit to the European parliament, and the handing in of a genocide charge against the South African government at the International Criminial Court in The Hague, international media and social networks took more notice of the situation regarding murders on farms in South Africa. Subsequently TAU SA’s offices received reports of planned actions in several countries, not only in Europe, but also in Australia, Canada and America.
TAU SA’s SMS-line for support to victims of farm attacks, is also performing well. Members of the public can make a R10 donation by sending the message TLUSTOP to 48716.
Internasionale gemeenskap neem kennis van SA Plaasmoorde
TLU SA ontvang tans toenemend navrae vanaf internasionale instellings oor plaasmoorde in Suid-Afrika.
Dit is hoofsaaklik te danke aan ’n besoek wat TLU SA se Assistent-Hoofbestuurder: Kommunikasie, mnr. Henk van de Graaf, aan Europa gebring het. Mnr. Van de Graaf is sopas terug van ’n weeklange inligtingsbesoek aan Europa, waarin hoofsaaklik klem gelê is op plaasmoorde in Suid-Afrika. Die hoogtepunt van sy toer was ’n besoek aan die Europese Parlement waar hy die hoofspreker was byb ’n openbare vergadering van Europese Parlementslede. In sy toespraak het mnr. Van de Graaf daarop gewys dat toestande in Suid-Afrika selfs slegter is as in Zimbabwe. In Suid-Afrika is tot dusver 1 554 boere vermoor, teenoor die 24 in Zimbabwe. “Instellings soos die EU was bereid om persoonlike sanksies teen mnr. Robert Mugabe en sy kabinetslede op te lê. In die lig daarvan dat sake in Suid-Afrika selfs slegter verloop as in Zimbvabwe, behoort die EU dalk ook oorweging te skenk aan die moontlikheid om soortgelyke persoonlike sanksies teen mnr. Zuma en sy kabinetslede in te stel, omdat hulle ook blatant weier om genoeg aan hierdie probleem te doen. Bowendien behoort plaasmoorde kinternasionaal verklaar te word tot ’n Misdaad teen die Mensdom,” het mnr. Van de Graaf gesê.
’n Kort uittreksel uit die dokumentêre rolprent ‘War of the Flea’ is ook aan die EU-parlementslede gewys. Veral die sanger Steve Hoffmeyr se stelling daarop dat daar in Suid-Afrika sprake is van volksmoord, het baie gewis gevoeg tot TLU SA se standpunt hieroor.
Na die besoek aan die Europese Parlement, asook die inhandiging van ’n klagte van Volksmoord teen die SA regering by die Internasionale Strafhof in Den Haag, het internasionale media en die sosiale media deeglik begin kennis neem van die situasie in Suid-Afrika rakende veral plaasmoorde. Seddertdien ontvang TLU SA se hoofkantoor al hoe meer inligting van beoogde aksies oor plaasmoorde en volksmoord, nie net in Europa nie, maar ook Amerika, Kanada en Australië.
Another thing that is very worrying is the attacks bein made on elderly people. Just today there was a report on a 71 year old lady being sliced up. Yesterday there was the report of a 69 year old being raped in front of her grandchildren and so it goes on. What barberians have we let loose in our country?
