ANC uses army to act against gangs, but silent on the slaughter of farmers – 60 farm murders and 217 farm attacks in firs half of 2019

Posted on Leave a comment

With every passing day that the ANC’s wishes to deny that farm attacks and murders are a reality, farmers will continue to be murdered. The murder of Sakkie and Ina van der Berg on their farm in the Boshoff, Dealesville district this past weekend has been proven that farm murders in South Africa are out of control.

According to the Transvaal Agricultural Union (TAU) figures, there were over 60 farm murders and 217 farm attacks only in the first half of 2019.

Neither President, Cyril Ramaphosa, nor the Free State Prime Minister, Sisi Ntombela, wanted to acknowledge in their recent state and provincial opening address that the government’s lack of rural security poses a threat to farmers’ safety and food security.

The ANC focuses on gang violence and deploys the army to defuse it, but ignores farmers’ plea to also secure their security. The ANC prefers to focus on the past and create the perception that farmers are crooks who have stolen l

ANC losing the crime battle in SA? – 52 murders daily and has the highest rape rate with 65 000 reported cases a year

Posted on Leave a comment

The question is increasingly asked whether crime in SA is still under control if the statistics are measured. According to Bheki Cele, the Minister of Police, the South African Police have not yet lost the fight against crime in the country.

Looking at statistics, the picture looks sad. It appears that 52 murders took place daily in the 2016/17 year. Rape figures show that SA has the highest worldwide figure with 65,000 reported cases a year. It is known that many rapes are never reported due to the stigma AND the inability of the police and judicial system to get convictions. South Africa has the highest incidence of child and baby rapes in the world.

Vehicle hijackings are high compared to other countries while transit robberies have become an epidemic.

Gang violence in the Western Cape has claimed the lives of 11 people this past weekend while 45 people were killed in Hanover Park this year. Add to that the farm attacks and murders where in M
