Since the attack on Attie Potgieter and his family, the simple stone farmhouse where they lived has stood empty and crumbling, with nobody wanting to live in the home where one of South Africa's most disturbingly brutal crimes took place.
Mr Potgieter, a farm caretaker, was stabbed and hacked 151 times with a garden fork, a knife and a machete near Lindley in the Free State - the agricultural heart of the country.
His wife, Wilna, and two-year-old daughter, Willemien, were both made to watch him die, before being shot in the head, execution style.
All for pocket money, and possessions of relatively little value a too-common story in South Africa's rural areas, where mostly white Afrikaner farmers feel they are being targeted in gratuitously violent attacks on their remote farms and smallholdings. They accuse police and government of failing to make these crimes a priority. And as the horrifying murders continue, they are growing increasingly angry.

“For those who dont or cant defend themselves against holders people taking hints from the indo-kenyan, this could come here too....”
The media does not report it....There are whites being targeted here already because they are white.....Blacks always attack in packs like dogs....The victim is always grossly outnumbered.......In Melbourne, FL just walking down the street, a car stops and FIVE black men jump out, attack ONE white man and said it was for Trayvon.....Alabama, an estimated over FIFTY blacks attack a man on his own front porch.....Both ended up in intensive care from what I heard.....There are tons of instances, but they do not make the news......The media will not cover black on white crime.....I never felt comfortable with the idea of armed protection, but feeling helpless at the hands of crud like what is running around in America now, I had no choice but to arm myself.....I hate I am listed as having a gun now though......
It's tough to walk away from your home, your work, your friends, your country, and the life your family has had for decades, or even generations.
And rebuilding your life, probably with limited money, in a new country, with perhaps a new language, well, that's about as daunting as it gets to any family man over 35 years old.
In hindsight, sure, you're 100% right.
But the “liberation” of SA was accompanied by international optimism and mixed race jubilees where whites and Blacks vowed to work together for a free and prosperous South Africa.
It was a complete fraud, but it's easy to understand why so many whites drank the Kool Aid.
“One can’t help but conclude that there is a war on white people.”
Yes, and the sad part is that it is being waged by white people, the black thugs who do the actually violence are basically foot soldiers.
It disgusts me. I hope I live to see it end, but I doubt I will. But believe me, one day it will end.
those poor down trodden blacks have been killing white familys since they took over the country with the assistance of the rest of the world. The land is then given to a black south african who doesn’t know jack about farming and they are having a food problem...I remember when the rest of the countries boycotted anything from whites not even buying their gold coins....This is not news, but no one cares that whites are being pushed off their land and butchered....4 generations ago when the (I think Dutch) landed there, there was nothing, they built up the country...
An illustration of the fate of a people that abdicate their right to govern.
I hate I am listed as having a gun now though......
I hate that I couldn’t have one before I was 8!!!!!
I hate I can’t afford to have a hundred now.
“Reparations by another name...coming soon to Amerika.’
It is already here.
Democrats have their ‘pet’ illegal groups - we should have ours. Texas could be a ‘sancuary’ state for white African farmers - the fact that they’ll vote Republican is only something a ‘hater’ would notice... We’ll call them ‘immigrants’ rather than illegals. I wonder if liberals will support our great tolerance for diversity?
This is why a growing number of South African farmers are moving to Belarus.
At least some of them have been denied residence here. One was the wife of a conservative opinion journalist. They became angry afterward, and it showed in some of their articles after that. I don’t know any other details and withhold their names due to controversies and their desire for privacy on the matter.
No. The Marxist ANC disarmed the white farmers some time ago.
No, Whites are not allowed guns legally and if a gun is used in self defense, a long prison jag can be expected. Take a wild guess at the jury makeup.
I work with a bunch of folks from SA and southern Africa...the place is out of control.
Chode, you must have spent some time in Africa...when I worked in eastern Africa for two years, AWA was the most used descriptive phrase.
Blacks in Africa are the most racist of all. And they are proud of their culture and heritage.
They have traditions in their cultures that exist today.
One is genocide.
If we look around Africa, some where there is one going on today, right now.
Are you suggesting that we should be equal and have genocides here in America?
“Freeeeeeeeee Nelson Mandela........Freeeeeeeeee Nelson Mandela.”
and voodoo.
pass me some kidney pie, will ya?
Esay to say and harder to do. Imagine if a race riot broke out here-where would you expect the older white people to flee to in time to save their lives?
