South Africa: Surge in BRUTAL ATTACKS targeting white farmers – Afrikaner campaign group

ATTACKS against South Africa’s white farmers are on the rise with some victims being tortured with electric drills, blowtorches and bleach, according to a new report.

Research by Afriforum, a group which champions the rights of the country’s Afrikaner minority, said assaults on the farms shot up 25 percent last year. And it warned the attacks against landowners were becoming increasingly brutal. Afriforum spokesman Ernst Roets said there was a “racial element” to the violence with research showing only white farming families suffered such levels of savagery.

He said there were more than eight attacks on rural properties every week, 433 incidents in 2018, up from 342 the previous year and the highest recorded by the group.

The number of murders last year was down to 54 from 72 in 2017, its lowest since 2011, suggesting some of the farmers were fighting back.

Mr Roets said: “More victims are shooting back, more are being trained and more are defending themselves.

“They are not allowing themselves to be victims. The farmers aren’t waiting to get murdered, but rather prepared for that contact to happen.”

Trump confronts South African President Ramaphosa in Oval Office over ‘white genocide’ in South Africa

President Donald Trump hosted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office on Wednesday, during which Trump confronted the South African leader about the violent persecution being faced by white residents of the country. This comes as the US has accepted Afrikaner refugees.

While fielding questions from reporters, one asked Trump, “What does it take from you for you to be convinced that there’s no white genocide in South Africa?” 

Ramaphosa replied, “Well, I can answer that for the president… It will take President Trump listening to the voices of South Africans, some of whom are his good friends, like those who are here when we have talks between us.”

“I’m not going to be repeating what I’ve been saying. I would say, if there was Afrikaner farmer genocide, I can bet you these three gentlemen would not be here, including my minister of agriculture. He would not be with me,” Ramaphosa continued.”

Trump interjected, “we have thousands of stories talking about it. We have documentaries, we have news stories.” Trump then directed for the lights to be turned down in the room, and for Ramaphosa to direct his attention to video that was played behind him.

Included in the video clips played were officials saying that “killing is part of a revolution,” that they can take land without permission and without compensation, and chants of “kill the Boer.”

Additional footage played, with Trump explaining that these were burial sites of “over 1,000 white farmers” in South Africa. “It’s a terrible sight. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“Have they told you where that is, Mr. President?” Ramaphosa asked. “I’d like to know where that is, because this I’ve never seen.”

Trump also flipped through a large stack of printed articles, saying, “these are articles over the last few days, death of people, death, death, death, horrible death, death.” He noted articles about white South Africans fleeing their home country due to violence, a white South African couple that was violently attacked, and burial sites all over the country. 

“When you look at the videos, I mean, how does it get worse? And these are people that are officials, and they’re saying that, ‘kill the white farmer and take their land.’ And I have other friends in South Africa, people that left, one in particular that says you can’t go there. He said they will want to take your land. They take your land and they kill you,” Trump said. 

In response, Ramaphosa said that the speeches seen in the clips “is not government policy,” and that in South Africa’s multi-party democracy, people are allowed to “express themselves” and political parties can “adhere to various policies.”

Cyril Ramaphosa meeting with Trump in attempt to salvage South Africa’s relationship with US

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is slated to meet with President Trump at the White House on Wednesday in an attempt to salvage the fraught relationship between the two countries.

Ramaphosa pushed for the meeting amid growing tensions with the Trump administration, which has accused the Black-led South African government of being racist against its white citizens, seizing white farmers’ land and letting a “genocide” take place.

The South African leader said he hopes to correct what he views as damaging mischaracterizations of its government during his meeting, which will be Trump’s first with an African leader during his second term.

A White House official told The Associated Press the meeting is likely to focus on topics including the need to condemn politicians who “promote genocidal rhetoric” and a push for South Africa’s government to classify farm attacks as a priority crime.

Some white farmers have been killed in violent home invasions, but the South African government has said these attacks are part of the country’s crime problem and not motivated by race, noting some Black farmers have also been killed.

The White House official also told the AP that Trump is likely to call on the South African government to “stop scaring off investors,” in reference to its race-based trade barriers.

Race Fatigue in the United States

The reaction of the American left and its adjacent black political class to the arrival of 59 white refugees fleeing de facto genocide in South Africa, combined with ever-accelerating racist rhetoric and demands from America’s black population has further exposed the depth of anti-white racism in the United States and accelerated race fatigue among the vast majority of the American population.

The Episcopal Church Migration Ministries, contractually obligated to the federal government to assist in resettling refugees regardless of race or nationality since 1988, has terminated its participation in the program because of a few white South Africans refugees declaring “In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to social justice and reconciliation…we are unable to take this step.”

Bishop Sean W. Rowe, in a self-damning, openly racist statement abetting the anti-white rhetoric of the Black political class, said: “It’s against what we stand for to help white refugees fleeing South Africa.” Further, “We can’t be ourselves in the Episcopal Church and take this step of resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.”

A CNN panel, consisting primarily of black former Obama and Biden staffers and dyed-in-the-wool leftists, declared that being victims of crimes does not entitle white South Africans to asylum in the United States and that they are not the type of immigrants we want in our country because they are white.

These openly racist comments are not surprising, given that there is among the black political class a constant and endless drumbeat of anti-white rhetoric from virtually every black member of Congress, state legislators, mayors, and many of those now seeking political office. Almost all of them are enthusiastically supported by the majority of black media outlets and websites.

Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) recently claimed, “White supremacy is rampant in this country, just look at the current administration…they have contributed to racial terrorism.”

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) offered her own spin: “The United States [i.e. the white population] owes us a debt; we need reparations now.” She cited “emboldened white supremacy” as a catalyst for the introduction of reparation legislation costing $14 trillion (or 2.5 years of all taxes collected by the Federal Government).

The Left’s Outcry Over South African Refugees Exposes Their Anti-White Bigotry

In the Biden era, we saw about infinity pseudo-refugees stream across the southern border from every corner of the third world. “Give us your poor, huddled masses, yearning to be free,” the Democrats chanted, as they called us callous racists for daring to suggest their professed humanitarianism was anything but. Yet in the Trump era, all it took was a handful of Afrikaners to lay the real intent of their immigration program bare. 

The lib-left establishment isn’t pro-migrant, and they’re certainly not concerned with taking in genuine refugees fleeing political violence. They’re just anti-white. 

The Trump administration brought in 59 Afrikaner refugees on Monday — white, European-descended Africans fleeing violence and political persecution in their native South Africa. The refugees landed in D.C. on a State Department-chartered plane, where, American flags in hand, they were met with an official welcome delegation and a ceremonial news conference. If the video footage is anything to go by, they appear to be mostly nuclear families with young children, a strange contrast from the single, military-aged men usually seen flooding the border and social services facilities. 

Corporate media was quick to imply racist hypocrisy. The administration has pushed to freeze most settlement programs for “refugees” — in other words, economic migrants from the Global South that Democrats and their NGO allies resettle with a wink and a nod — so the warmness towards Afrikaners must only be due to the fact that they’re white. 

Yet what’s happening in the black supremacist government of South Africa makes Afrikaners exactly the type of refugee the American system seeks to aid. For years, South African political leaders have engaged in genocidal rhetoric against white farmers, the Boers, egging on a frenzy of violent resentment at political rallies. Chants of “Kill the Boer,” mean just that, despite Western media fact-checks. So-called political reforms are ostensibly done under the banner of decolonization, redistributing resources from “colonizers” back to the “natives,” such as the new land expropriation policy the government enacted earlier this year. But the legacy of African decolonization, from Algeria to Rhodesia to Sierra Leone, shows that widespread political violence never lags far behind.

Notably, prominent leaders have gone on record not ruling out a future call “for the slaughtering of whites.” And while official figures are hard to come by, Trump has noted how the white farmers are “being killed” as a result of a political situation that amounts to a “genocide.”

Gay imam who performed same-sex marriages in South Africa murdered in suspected hate crime

A South African imam known advocating LGBTQ+ inclusion within Islam was shot and killed in what some suspect to be a hate crime. The imam had performed same sex marriages and was reportedly the world’s first openly gay imam.

Imam Muhsin Hendricks, an imam who had performed same-sex marriages in South Africa, according to Breitbart, was fatally attacked on Saturday near Gqeberha, formerly known as Port Elizabeth. Authorities say unknown assailants in a pickup truck blocked his vehicle before two masked individuals opened fire.

According to the BBC, local police said, “Two unknown suspects with covered faces got out of the vehicle and started firing multiple shots at the vehicle.”

The Muslim Judicial Council condemned the killing, stating, “While police are still investigating the motive, speculation suggests it may be linked to Hendricks’ views on same-sex relationships.” The organization emphasized that “the sanctity of human life is a fundamental tenet of Islam” and denounced violence against any community.

Executive director at the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association Julia Ehrt is calling on authorities to investigate “what we fear may be a hate crime.”

“He supported and mentored so many people in South Africa and around the world in their journey to reconcile with their faith, and his life has been a testament to the healing that solidarity across communities can bring in everyone’s lives,” she said.

Influencer Suggests White South African Refugees Should Be Violently Targeted

A TikTok influencer responded to the resettlement of white South African refugees in America by suggesting they should be violently targeted, remarking that unlike Trump, the Afrikaners “don’t have Secret Service” protection.

The clip was posted by a TikTok user called Your Favorite Corporate Auntie, who has 116,000 followers on the social media platform.

The woman said she was providing a “public service announcement” to South African refugees entering America, 59 of whom were welcomed on Monday.

The TikTokker proceeded to deliver a smiley, passive aggressive rant in which she pointed out that “black people who were students during apartheid – we’re grandmas and grandpas now – and we have the ear of Gen Z.”

“I also wanna let you know that our president, he has Secret Service, and you will not,” she said.

‘Raises serious questions’: White House blasts Episcopal church over refusal to help white refugees

The White House condemned the Episcopal Church on Tuesday after it withdrew from federal refugee resettlement programs in protest when the government asked the church to resettle white refugees from South Africa.

In a Monday letter, a top church leader noted South Africa’s history of Apartheid and said that assisting the refugees cuts against its “steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation.” The Episcopal Church’s government relations arm had touted in 2024 its efforts to help “undocumented immigrants.”

“The Episcopal Church’s decision to terminate its decades-long partnership with the U.S. government over the resettlement of 59 desperate Afrikaner refugees raises serious questions about its supposed commitment to humanitarian aid,” Anna Kelly, a deputy press secretary at the White House, told The Daily Signal. (Afrikaner is an ethnic term to designate white South Africans, who were originally Dutch.)

“Any religious group should support the plight of Afrikaners, who have been terrorized, brutalized, and persecuted by the South African government,” Kelly added. “The Afrikaners have faced unspeakable horrors and are no less deserving of refugee resettlement than the hundreds of thousands of others who were allowed into the United States during the past administration.”

Episcopal Church Ends Refugee Partnership with U.S. Government — Cites Moral Opposition to Resettling Persecuted White Afrikaners from South Africa

The far-left leadership of the Episcopal Church announced Monday that it is severing its nearly 40-year partnership with the U.S. government to resettle refugees — all because the Trump administration dared to classify white South African Afrikaners as refugees in need of protection.

The same Episcopal Church that prided itself on aiding persecuted people from war-torn regions is now walking away from its commitments simply because the next wave of refugees are white Christian farmers — victims of violent racial targeting in post-apartheid South Africa.

The church claims resettling these families would violate their ‘moral line,’ according to Religion News.

Afrikaner families have been facing widespread violence, including land seizures, farm attacks, and race-based targeting in South Africa — crimes so severe that human rights organizations around the world have raised the alarm for years.

The Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe, made it clear in a sanctimonious letter that the church would rather burn the bridge with the U.S. government than help what he sees as the ‘wrong’ kind of refugee.

Former Biden-Harris Staffer Takes an Extremely Disturbing Shot at White South African Refugees During Heated CNN Segment

A left-wing panelist dropped the dog whistle and screamed directly into her bullhorn during a shocking display of anti-white racism last night while complaining about persecuted South Africans receiving refugee status.

AS TGP readers know, the Trump administration is resettling increasingly racially persecuted white South African farmers, specifically Afrikaners, in the United States. This is a long-overdue response to the violent racial persecution of an ethnic minority left to fend for itself in a crumbling, post-apartheid South Africa. These farmers, the very backbone of South Africa’s food supply, trace their ancestry back to Dutch and French settlers.

The first group of white South African refugees arrived in the United States on Monday. As one will see, these 59 refugees waved AMERICAN flags as they were welcomed to DC by Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, and DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar welcomed the refugees.

And these are actually FAMILIES, not young military-aged men masquerading as refugees in an attempt to conquer their ‘new land.’

Unsurprisingly, the left was furious upon seeing America daring to help Caucasian refugees. But nothing compared to what former Biden-Harris staffer Ashley Allison had to say on CNN Monday night.

Allison first argued that the racist South African regime, which is ruled by the country’s black majority, was perfectly justified in stealing the Afrikaners’ land and giving it to the black population. Then, she made this sickening remark:

If the Afrikaners don’t like the land, they can leave that country…They can leave and go to where their native land is, probably Germany or Holland.
