        Hahaha I find all these statements confusing seriously, it ironic how whites have turned out to be afraid of us black people. It only them who have a history of killing blacks everywhere in the world but now they are afraid of us, it funny neh

        Fair enough. But you still didn't deny that white farmers are being killed; might I add, usely in very violent and deliberate ways.

        Is it any different from the violent and deliberate ways in which some white farmers kill and mistreat their black workers?why is there no world wide outrage when its the black farmer that is killed?

        Hey @BBCAfrica , their own #ANC members are openly calling for seizing farmers' lands and conducting violence against the "whites". Did you report that? https://www.newsmax.com/premium/south-africa-farm-murders/2018/08/24/id/878569/ … Why seizing "whites" weapons?https://gunpowdermagazine.com/south-africa-calls-for-300-000-gun-owners-to-turn-over-their-weapons/ …

        We need a counter media house which will tell the honest truth about us. Coz surely these people will never report about the white farmers who forced a man into a coffin and the farmer who shot a child for accusing him of stealing a sunflower

        SA is taking the route of Zimbabwe. Regardless of the rich natural resource base, tribal militias will reduce SA into a basket case.

        Because white people dont want to let go of the land they will ensure that they claim they are being killed just so as to scare so called "other white investors" white people wud rather destroy the land than give it up and thats a fact.

        When racists want to peddle incorrect information, they play the victim so they can get sympathy. There is no such thing as 'white genocide' n South Africa.
