Farm attacks and murders remains a serious issue for all South
Africans, out of the 35000 commercial farms operating in South African
3158 farmers have been brutally murdered since 2004, whist most of these
murders have taken place since 2008.
Commercial farming in
South African contributes 2.6% of our total GDP (R113.4 billion) and
employees around 10% of the total work force in South Africa (1.76
Million people). Our farms produce the food we eat and contribute a
large part of our global exports.
Some report indicate that our
farmers are being killed at a rate of 330 / 100000 people per year since
2008 (Six times higher that our already high murder rate) and the sheer
violent uses during these attack indicate that there is something far
more worrying going on, although there is no direct link to the ANC it
must be noted that farm attacks and murders have seriously increased
since Mr. Julius Sello Malema was elected as ANCYL.
Organisations
within South Africa have been monitoring and reporting on farm attacks
and have reported the following statistics. 1995 (1), 1997 (1), 1999
(1), 2000 (1), 2001 (2), 2002 (2), 2003 (2), 2004 (01), 2005 (1), 2006
(2), 2007 (1), 2008 (37), 2009 (465), 2010 (439), 2011 (551), 2012 to
date (92). = 1599 farm attacks, 3158 people murdered.
Don’t
worry the world is watching and there are several organisations and
activists working to high light these issues to the world.
Unity
is strength - All South Africans have the right to be free, protected
against crime, have the right to be educated to a good standard, fair
opportunity to the jobs available to them and last but not least share
and enjoy South Africa’s beauty and wealth together as one.
South
Africa and its people will only move forward is everybody respects all
culture, colours, traditions and by everybody works together to overcome
our home lands issue.
South Africa is one of the beautiful
countries in the world and has wealth and an abundance of natural
resource. Why can’t everybody work together and build the South Africa
everybody wants to live in?
All South African should fight
against all of the very things that are currently destroying our
country, We should campaign to ensure the rest of the world aware of
what is happening behind our rainbow coloured curtain and putting non
-violent pressure on our government to deliver on what we have all
dreamed about for centuries – a true democracy, a true rainbow nation
that all people can share, prosper and enjoy.
We should be using
this form to drive all our people forward into a bright future, toward a
safer place to live, working together to build our economy and create
job and uniting together in protest against poverty, inequality, crime,
racism, corruption.
Power to our people, let’s all work together
to build a brighter future for all our people. Please no racists –
only South Africans that want the best for everybody.
God bless and protect all South African, each death should be seen as a national tragedy.
