Since the end of Apartheid in 1994, South Africa has experienced an uptick in brutal farm attacks against the country's Afrikaner minority, perpetrated by black Africans. The sheer brutality of the crimes, along with recent anti-white agitation by senior ANC leadership, has led Genocide Watch to mark South Africa as being at risk for experiencing a genocide against the Afrikaner minority. Victims are often brutally tortured and even raped before finally being killed, and often little of value is taken, indicating that robbery is not the primary motivation.
We therefore ask the Obama Administration to pressure South Africa to declare these crimes a national priority.
