This such a white perspective, there's no acknowledgement of the private sectors role in fostering the volatile situation. Currption is seen as this new phenomena when it's something that's been a problem since Apartheid days
Yeah I agree. In this case it really is a white perspective. There were no black south africans telling me anything.
What South Africans are fleeing to China? Whites? Blacks? Or both?
Whites because they can work there and are viewed way better than blacks in China
Yeah I didn’t want to be reductionist about it, but I’m Nigerian and this is an issue we’ve dealt with since I’ve been alive but is rarely talked about (Nomadic Islamic herdsmen from the Fulani ethnic group attacking Christian farmers)
https://twitter.com/juwon2017/status/998939097564700674We downplay the violence as local squabbles over farmland, with no wider religious or cultural significance
I was thrown by this thread due to the emphasis on “White” farmers
What exactly is the issue from your perspective?
South Africa is a country with an already high criminal rate, religion doesn't really play a major role in tensions between groups. The farm murders aren't anything exceptional they are part and parcel of the legacy of Apartheid. violence against women should be given a bigger spotlight than this when it comes to violence in South Africa/
What is incorrect about that statement ?
It’s pretty self explanatory.
That's crazy talk, if they said Australia they'd have a point. Most South Africans going to China go there among other countries, including Cuba for education, or to teach English.
Just speaking from experience I know many that did that

What business do white people have being in Africa?

A lot more are moving to Australia and New Zealand, some to Russia.
Because so many of them see farming as a core part of their identity they are taking on farming opportunities being handed to them in Australia, where no one really wants to be farming.

I see. Thanks I'll remember that makes sense tbh
I have spoken to some south Africans.
Many are leaving the country for China (shows how bad it is )
It is very tense around there. Whites get blamed for everything and many black people still live in poverty. Why is the money SA makes not going to the people that need it ?
The politicians are corrupt and the government is mostly black but they dont care about "their" people.
That is not my opinion but just what I heard .
Violence on blacks and whites should be condemned.

It's all foreigners actually, and less documented it targets certain groups of South Africans as well, namely Venda and Tsonga people. It's a bit of a Zulu nationalist thing

The only two black South Africans I know are trying to leave as well. They want to come to America tho
Also f*** farmers and/property developers, robbed me of my outdoor trail.
Bro said f*** farmers lmao

most of the issues are caused by whites and the government

how can u speak on africa from a white perspective? are u mad?

because white people live there too?
What business do white people have being in Africa?
They were born and raised there, for generations now. Its like telling practically everyone in America they have no business there because they arent Native. Its a globalized world, anywhere with a sizable population you’re bound to find a lot of foreigners.
If I told you Id get banned
nah you good, say it
Noone should get killed period.
