South African media reported earlier this month that brutal attacks on white farmers have intensified since the left-wing radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party and its leader, Julius Malema, sang a song about killing Boers (whites) and farmers in a packed stadium on July 29.
The South African Agricultural Union (TAU) reported 35 farm murders in the first 7 months of 2023, plus numerous victims who have been “seriously injured and tortured.” It logged 24 farm murders during the same period last year.
