This government condones the farm murders, it is plain for anybody to see. The farmers will leave and take their skills elsewhere, where they are appreciated. Sound like Zim?

As a person who worked with murders dayly in the past 10 years the extreme voilent nature of farm murders never seized to shock me.When talking to some farmers the regularity of attacks and the circumstances under which the farmers live is shocking.Unfortunately the killers are usually unknown and it is 90% the farm workers that brings the accused to Justice with there identifying evidence. It is clear that there are daily assualts on farmers in South Africa.(robbery seldom took place in these assualts).Government please do something otherswise we are going to die of hunger in SA

Killing other people cannot be justified - whether it is war or on farms. Whether the motivation is racial or political. Thou shalt no kill.

The war in Afgahnistan is not illigitimate. It is a UN sanctioned war against a repressive government who harboured terrorists.

Some farmers abuse farmworkers, some of them who are Zim illegal immigrants. They work hard and sometimes are dismissed before they are paid. As illegal immigrants they have no recourse. As much as murder is unacceptable. Sometimes people must look at their actions and treatment of fellow human beings. It is a fact that most of the murdered farmers know their killers. Yes there might be one or two isolated instances where the crime is just pure robbery. Unfortunately some of the farmers have not chnaged; they still treat black people and their workers like dirt. White people must look at themselves in the mirror and assess their behaviour and treatment of black people. Being treated without dignity brings the worse in human beings.

IOL - stop stirring. This topic is a deliberate attempt to stir empotions. Grow up and be part of building this country. I wonder what IOL achieves by such senseless article. What purpose does it serve?

To stop the killing we must find where the killers come from ,not the victims. Lets have statistics on that.

Dear Anonymous, according to the police, the number of blacks killed by farmers in the same peiod was 3, these 3 being alleged robbers and killers, so what is your racist point?

What I can not understand, is people complaining about the socalled mistreatment, low wages and torture of farm workers. If you do not like the work, resign and find something else to do. Farm workers are not slaves, they can leave anytime they want. Nobody forces them to stay on the farm. And if you get shot at night while walking on a farmer's private property, then dont walk there, easy. Stay of the person's property. There are public roads to be used by the public. If I should judge by the remarks made here by certain people, then the murders of farmers are racially motivated. Full stop!!!

They built a football stadium to honour the man who publicly called for the killing of the farmers - Peter Mokaba (ANCYL). How many of these murderers have been convicted or are they soldiers of the revolution?

91 Britons? what about American and French and the rest of those soldiers waging an illegitimate war on Afghanistan? I am sure more than 91 troops died there, this comparison to South African farm deaths is ridiculous, especially if it does not include the number of blacks killed by farmers.
