Police minister challenges AfriForum to present evidence on farm murders

Police minister Senzo Mchunu has challenged AfriForum to present concrete evidence to support its claims that more than one farm murder was committed in the country between October and December last year.

This comes after the lobby group disputed the latest quarterly statistics, which indicated that only one farmer was killed and not five as claimed. The statistics were released last week.

“AfriForum’s dispute smacks of their feeling to take an ‘Orwellian’ approach to this subject, wherein there must always be a picture of high numbers of murders of white farmers, as was the practice in the past.

“We want to take this opportunity to reiterate that our statistics show that one farmer, who happens to be white, was murdered in the third quarter in South Africa; anybody who disputes this is welcome to put facts on the table for the purposes of correct records,” Mchunu said.

Earlier this week, AfriForum and Solidarity met with top representatives of US President Donald Trump’s administration to thank the new leader for his support and to ask him to fund an Afrikaner development – so they can settle in a “concentrated manner”.
