South Africa’s War Against Whites
“Kill the Boer, kill the white man”
In 1994, South Africa entered a new era filled with optimism that offered the promise of a unified society, which Archbishop Desmond Tutu would describe as “The Rainbow Nation”. Apartheid was a thing of the past and Nelson Mandela had set up a coalition government made up of his African National Congress (ANC), the National Party, and the Zulu Inkhata Party.
Starting in 1998, “The Rainbow Nation” displayed all its colors when its economy grew for 40 consecutive quarters. Then, Jacob Zuma was elected president; a near-decade of corruption scandals and economic stagnation followed.
But the worst was yet to come.
On the Brink of Chaos
Nothing seems to be going right in South Africa nowadays. Water in many communities is unsafe to drink and a dilapidated sanitation system triggered a recent cholera outbreak near the capital, Pretoria. In fact, South Africans lack everything; and crime is on the rise.
In many areas, train stations have been vandalized, tracks removed and sold as scrap metal, just like the copper from power lines. According to Bloomberg, 122 major protests erupted across the country in the first half of the year over the failure of the government to deliver services like electricity and water. Blackouts can even last as long as 10 hours a day in some parts of the country.
All this chaos may be attributed to a series of complex issues, but one of them is definitely more serious than the others: the persecution of white South Africans, also known as “Boers”.
“Kill the Boer, Kill the White Man”
A video was widely shared these past few days on social media in which we can hear and see members of the Economic Freedom Party sing the song, “Kill the Boer.”
This act of racism is unfortunately not new in South Africa. “For every one black person we will kill five white people”, Andile Mngxitama, president of Black First Land First (BLF), once told a cheering crowd. “We’ll kill their women, we’ll kill their children, we’ll kill anything we find in our way.”
This is exactly what is happening. On July 30, 79-year-old white farmer Theo Bekker was brutally murdered by four thugs who hit him with an iron bar to then slit his throat and beat his wife Marlinda. Bekker was far from being the first victim of that sort.
In the nine years following the end of Apartheid and South Africa’s democratic election in 1994, more than 1,000 farmers — mostly white — were killed, according to The Epoch Times. A July 2012 Genocide Watch report showed that more than 3,000 of the 40,000 white farmers had been murdered since 1994.
What is a source of growing frustration for the white people of South Africa is that while they’re being persecuted, nothing is done to reverse the trend as the world turns a blind eye to their misfortune.
This was evidenced in November 2021 when Sekola Matlaletsa and Sekwetje Mahlamba, the suspects in the murder of Brendin Horner, a white farmer, were acquitted. The October 2020 murder had been followed by a stand-off between white protesters and black members of the Marxist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Senekal, a central South African town near where the murder took place. The story went unnoticed outside South Africa.
Things got tough for Whites when, on March 1, 2018, the ANC managed to pass a bill that authorizes the seizure of their land without compensation. Theft was thus legalized by the parliament. But the first nail into the Whites’ coffin was put when the black government implemented affirmative action policies, which caused white families to fall into poverty.
Since then, more and more “Boers” live in shanty towns devoid of electricity and fresh water, but again, not a single international institution rushed to their rescue, and not a single liberal media dared to report on their condition.
