Original Note:
The claim that white farmers in South Africa are “4 times more likely to be murdered” lacks evidence and statistical basis. Over the past 5 years, it is recorded that - 24,100 murdered in SA - 333 were white farmers, approx. 0.139% of total murders https://www.groundup.org.za/article/how-bad-murder-in-south-africa/ https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2022-10-25-nechama-brodie-challenges-myths-of-the-white-genocide-in-her-book-farm-killings-in-south-africa/ https://afriforum.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/20230228-Johan-N-Farm-murders-and-attacks-in-SA-for-2022-ENG-GFdB-1.pdf
