They are conservative, Christian Caucasians, a fact that might help explain why the fashionable left in the West doesn’t much care that they’re being exterminated.
The Boers – or farmers – of South Africa have tilled the land for generations on small holdings or on large commercial farms. But orgiastic killing sprees by The People, combined with a Stalinesque land grab by their representatives is threatening this minority’s survival.
Not to mention making life an inferno for farmers across the country.
Journalists for “Carte Blanche,” the South African equivalent of “20/20,” conducted a six-month investigation into what has become known as farm murders, or plaasmoorde in Afrikaans. The short documentary opens with a funeral, Elsie Swart’s. Elsie was one of three farmers killed in the span of only seven days. She died after being “severely tortured, burned with an electric iron, beaten and strangled to death.”
The victims of this ongoing onslaught, we are told, are invariably elderly, law-abiding, God-fearing whites, murdered in cold blood, in ways that beggar belief. For the edification of racism spotters in the West, “Carte Blanche” ought to have pointed out that their assailants are always black.
Typically, the heathens will attack on Sundays. On returning from church, the farmer is ambushed. Those too feeble to attend Sunday service are frequently tortured and killed when the rest are worshiping. In one crime scene, Bibles belonging to the slain had been splayed across their mangled bodies. In another, an “old man’s hand rests on the arm of his wife of many years.” She raped; he, in all likelihood, made to watch. Finally, with their throats slit, they died side by side.

Dr. Gregory H. Stanton heads Genocide Watch. He says the slaughter of 2,000 Boers is genocide. (One wonders why “Carte Blanche” drastically underreported the number of murdered Boers, pegging it at 1,400 all told, when in January of 2006, Genocide Watch reported a total of 1,820 murders.) The rates at which the farmers are being eliminated, the torture and dehumanization involved – all point to systematic extermination.
“Genocide is always organized, usually by the state,” Stanton has written on Genocide Watch’s website. Indeed, according to Sky News, the farmers believe “these attacks are an orchestrated, government-sanctioned attempt to purge South Africa of white land owners, as has already happened in Zimbabwe.” Consequently, Zimbabwe, once the breadbasket of Africa, is now its dust bowl. Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s Marxist president, is greatly admired by Thabo Mbeki, South Africa’s strongman and head of the African National Congress.
