/// Since the beginning of February 30 farms have have been attacked and 15 people have lost their lives in farm attacks across the country. ///

Its a shocking state of affairs but then so was it when the boot was on the other foot - did you campaign so hard then one wonders.

[Samjenko]

God Almighty, Islay, give it a rest.

[Islay]

Give what a rest Samjenko? Am I no longer entitled to opinions or should I post only on threads approved by your good self?
Perhaps you should allow Ed make that decision please!

i knew a white south african farmer who slept with a gun under his pillow and that was in the eighties ...

[Islay]

In the same vein aelmpve I worked for a family who had farms over is SA and openly admitted they had taken the land off the black farmers!

Your inference is that farmers are attacked because they are white - when there is no evidence to support that supposition.

Farmers are attacked because they are presumed to have money - not because they are white.

There is no clear evidence of the ethnicity of the criminals either - although you do not state that you imagine the robbers to be black, the point needs to be clear - there is no evidence of that fact.

Andy...really?

Well, well quite an admission. Money over morals eh?

[andy-hughes]

ummmm - // Andy...really? //

Really what?

Really are farmers attacked because they are farmers, not because they are white farmers?

Really the attackers may be white?

Either? Both? Neither?

Happy to assist if you can offer more information.

They were asleep in bed at home in Dullstroom in Mpualanga province when three black males broke in through a window at 2am and tied the terrified couple up.

Don't do it, ummmm .... don't it.

South Africa seems to be a pretty lawless place when you move out of the cities. And the cities hold their own dangers, too.

I'm not sure how I would cope with the level of terror and terror so many South Africans must feel.

[jackthehat]

*terror and tension, even...

[andy-hughes]

Thanks for clarifying Baldric.

There is no doubt, as jack says, that South Africa has serious crime problems based largely, although not entirely, on generations of oppression of black people by the white regime.

No person of any colour should bear the responsibility, much less the revenge, for wrongs that are not of their making, but I return to my original point - remote farms are easy targets, and the ethnicity of the farm owners may not have been a factor in targeting them for this horrible crime.

Thank you Baldric, here is further proof of South African genocide of the white population.

That's not a terribly reliable or impartial publication, AOG.

Is it just me who thinks snookerplaker might have actually got off on the above answer? (or something similar)

"Is It No Longer Safe To Be A White Farmer In South Africa?"

That was the simple question and the answer is until BLACK farmers are attacked, then NO it is not safe to be a white farmer in South Africa.
