Hmmm, you would have thought the likes of Elon Musk and Trump's advisers would have done some fact-checking.



I asked Elon Musk's Grok

Q: Is it true that 1,000 white farmers were buried in South Africa as alleged by Donald Trump

Grok Answer: No, the claim by Donald Trump that 1,000 white farmers were buried in South Africa, referring to a video showing roadside crosses as "burial sites," is false. The video, shown during a May 21, 2025, Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, actually depicted a September 5, 2020, memorial procession near Newcastle, South Africa, for a white farming couple murdered in August 2020. The crosses were temporary symbols representing farmers killed over time, not actual graves, and were removed after the event. South African police data for 2024 recorded 26,232 murders nationwide, with only 44 linked to farming communities, of which eight were farmers, a tiny fraction of the total. Claims of "white genocide" have been debunked by experts, courts, and data, with no evidence supporting targeted racial killings of white farmers at such a scale. The narrative misrepresents South Africa’s broader violent crime issue, which affects all groups and is not racially driven.

They're not in the business of pushing facts.

They're in the business of pushing their agendas.

Facts only get in the way of that.

Since when? 1846??

White farmers have been murdered in South Africa. But those murders account for less than 1% of more than 27,000 annual murders nationwide. Experts said the deaths do not amount to genocide, and Trump misleads about land confiscation.

Funny that nobody, not even the South African police can give hard data on the number of whites killed. It is a red flag that these figures are never released. Why would this information be kept secret?

How is it you can post .. South African police data for 2024 recorded 26,232 murders nationwide, ... But the one figure that will make your post credible, is the one figure left out?

WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF WHITES KILLED IN SOUTH AFRICA ?

You know why that figure is hidden ? South Africa is hiding the truth, which is that far more whites are killed.

They aren't just murdered, they are tortured in the most vicious and inhuman ways conceivable. It's been going on for decades.

Of course, rape, tortured and murdered. Apart from the politicians call for 'killing the boer', there are ordinary black South Africans, calling for white farmers to be killed, and their land taken.

That link didn't say anything about the enormous number of whites killed every year, only that there were very few farmers.
So it really didn't mean anything.

There is no enormous number of white people killed in SA every year.

That right-wing fantasy is thoroughly debunked.

The mere fact you continue to push it says a lot about your state of mind: brainwashed moron.

As of 2024, white South Africans constitute approximately 7.2% of the nation's population, equating to around 4.5 million individuals out of a total population of about 63 million .([South Africa Gateway][1])

Regarding annual fatalities, South Africa experiences a high overall murder rate, with approximately 85 people killed daily, totaling over 30,000 homicides annually . However, the South African Police Service (SAPS) does not release crime statistics disaggregated by race, making it challenging to determine the exact number of white victims.([Wikipedia][2])

Specific to farm-related incidents, which have been a focal point in discussions about violence against white South Africans, data indicates that in the first quarter of 2025, there were six farm murders, including one white victim . This suggests that while farm attacks do occur, they are not exclusively targeted at white individuals.([The Times][3])

Claims of a "white genocide" in South Africa have been widely debunked by experts, government officials, and international observers. South African authorities have emphasized that crime affects all communities and that there is no evidence of systematic targeting of white individuals .([theguardian.com][4])

In summary, while white South Africans represent a minority of the population, and crime is a significant issue in the country, there is no substantiated evidence to support claims of a disproportionate or targeted killing of white individuals.

For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgr5xe7z0y0o

For example: the crosses of all the dead farmers were not graves.

For example, in the previous link given, there are statstics of deaths and locations; so do the maths.
