A four-strong gang in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, broke into the home of a white farmer chanting “kill the Boer, kill the farmer” and violently assaulted him and his wife, stabbing the latter with a spear. Tim and Amanda Platt were beaten with “pipes, crowbars, and other instruments” by the gang, said Jacques Broodryk, a spokesman for the AfriForum group which supports South Africa’s Dutch-descended Boer (Afrikaner) minority. Amanda was reportedly “beaten with a bolt cutter and lead pipes, and eventually stabbed with a spear.” Incredibly, she managed to escape the fracas while her husband was still fighting with their attackers, and returned armed to save him as they fled. Julius Malema, the Marxist-Leninist lawmaker who leads the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party in South Africa, recently led a packed stadium in chants of “shoot to kill, kill the Boer, the farmer” – an incident that gained international attention after South Africa-born Elon Musk highlighted it as a call to “racial genocide”. As President, Donald Trump tasked then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with investigating “the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers” in 2018. It is unclear whether or not Pompeo ever did so, and the expropriation of white-owned land without compensation is back on the South African government’s agenda now Joe Biden is in the White House.
......I read the whole story. Brave woman!
Some days when I look around and read the news, I want to snowflake out.
I feel a strong urge to just sit down and cry because we’ve lost so much as a country.
I’m sorry that you lost a friend, sincerely.
I lost my childhood friend over politics/COVID, that hurt.
After they kill the farmers and start going hungry, they can blame their famine on “global warming” and demand food from us.
Well it was a minor thing but he acted like a total jackass
$2 - you’d think I’m joking but I’m not
Something got fouled up, went amiss, no malice intended by me
Told him I’d give him $2 on Friday after saying hey it got messed up
Freaky weird
Well it WAS a full Moon last night or so it seemed
I couldn’t care less about the $2 - his behavior, after seemingly nonchalant at first was what was disturbing. Completely out of character for the past 8-10 months that I’ve known him.
😳😧🤪😱🤯
But these thugs are using Homo erectus-style weapon!!
Newt Gingrich was responsible for sanctions against the South African government. Never cared for the man after that.

"There are no figures made public on the number of South Africans who have moved to Russia or are considering it. Poluboyarenko, however, is a prominent voice for the outreach. He gained attention earlier this year after helping an 11-member German family, outraged by sex education in Western schools, to settle in Russia.
Addressing the du Toits at his “Motherland” dairy farm in Kosyakovo, about 60 miles southeast of Moscow, general director Mikhail Baranov told the father and son: “You can be sure of one thing. You won’t find liberalism here, but family values instead.”

I know a large number did awhile back. Russia took them, gave them land to farm.

15,000 white South African farmers have contacted Russia and are making plans to move to start a new life at an area called Stavropol.
No Boer no food.
Or at least have proper defense.
Let them eat diamonds and gold..................
Wow it sounds worse than Philadelphia.
Wow it sounds worse than Philadelphia.
South Africa has one of the leading genetics facilities in the world, highly respected by scientists in the west.
I wouldn’t be so quick to give up on them.
They have a lot of crime. So does Chicago.
KRISP discovered and sequenced the Omicron covid variant.
Tulio is one of my top ten scientists I love and follow.

Too bad we are not smart enough to let them immigrate here.
Right? People get upset with me for supporting Russia, but every single time I see them making better choices.
I think they are light years ahead of us. I once met a ten yr old there who spoke perfect English and was deciding on a third language to learn.
Their schools are amazing. Look at us.
I hate it. Every bit of it.
More likely they will eat dogs.
Most of Africa does, as a regular staple.
South Africa, the former gem of Africa, now just another stinking cesspool.
