With South Africa once again making headline news these last last couple of weeks, you can definitely feel a change in the atmosphere. Just to clear the air; yes!!!...I am white...and no!!! I'm not racist.
Tension in South Africa has been rising to new boiling levels these last couple of weeks and it finally looks like the international players are starting to see the dilemma that most white South Africans are facing every day. Since newly elected president Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the government will introduce land redistribution without compensation, many South Africans took action and started to invade white South African farms by means of force.
Please don't get me wrong; I was brought up to love thy neighbor and completely condemn the wrong doings of the apartheid regime, but the ANC has been in power since 1994 when Nelson Mandela took over as South African president, promising a new rainbow nation where all will be equal and together creating a new and better South Africa for all.
It's now twenty-four years later and still apartheid is being blamed for poor service delivery, poor education, no infrastructures and poor living conditions and this all after a good working system was handed over to the ANC government.
My understanding is that there is this picture being painted to the international community that black South Africans are still being oppressed under white South Africans, that black South Africans are still labelled as slaves and that South Africa is still a racist country. Well, here is the scary truth, we are still a racist country, but this is reverse racism and let me explain:
Farm attacks in South Africa has become so common that most murders doesn't even feature in the news papers. With statistics recorded between April 2016 and March 2017 showing 638 farm attacks and 74 farm murders. Every time the South African government publicly debates the land redistribution issue, these numbers increase.
Aside from the ANC government dragging our beautiful country into ground, there is also the EFF(Economic Freedom Fighters) The EFF is a Political party formed by previous ANC youth league president Julias Malema who was known for his outbursts towards the press and is not afraid to make his feelings towards white South Africans public. Since forming the EFF in July 2013. Julias Malema managed to gather a huge following by the means of division; using emotional and racist differences among South Africans. With every campaign Julias Malema focuses on dividing the nation using racial indifference's and making comments causing his followers to act with violence and causing chaos.

Julias Malema does not shy away that he wants the white man to suffer and that that they will rape and slaughter our wife's and daughters like wolfs among the sheep. The fight for land in South Africa is being used for political gains and by brutally attacking and murdering farmers. South Africa is slowly without noticing becoming another Zimbabwe where all farmers were forced to leave everything behind and flee the country out of fear for their lives.
Statements like the above are being taken seriously by the EFF followers and the result is unforgivable and against everything we as humans stand for. Fathers beaten and then being forced to watch the wife's and daughters being raped and killed and then finishing them of in the most disgraceful manners.
Then even after being captured and prosecuted, these thugs doesn't even show any remorse.
