INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPERS

Six farmers have been killed in different parts of the country during January this year.

A 77-year-old farmer has been shot dead at his home in Stella, near Vryburg, North West police said on Monday.

Hendrik Cilliers was half naked on the ground five metres from his house on Sunday evening, said Brigadier Thulane Ngubane.

He had a bullet wound in his head, and his hands and feet were bound with shoelaces, said Ngubane.

A neighbour called the police when he saw Cilliers's car on the main road and his phone went unanswered.

The motive for his murder was unknown and police were searching for his killers. - Sapa

The genocide of whites continues, hiding under the official government stance of common crime. 18 years and 3000 farmer, or 40 000 white deaths later and the world continues to look the other way.

When that one white guy went to Canada and claimed refugee status he was ridiculed and discredited even in the media. That guy is right. These systematic farm killings are very real and is clearly aggression leveled against farmers. SA is a very dangerous place and yet we try and lie to the rest of the world. Even some high profile persons in a recent case lied to the UK courts when they said SA is safe. No it ain't! They even kill blacks here, foreigners seking assylum and good people like Lucky Dube. That white guy that fled to Canada is right. Heartfelt condolences to the family of the murdered farmer and the many others who have had their loved ones taken away by criminal savages.
