During May 2019, there were 50 farm attacks and four farm murders in South africa. The crisis is deepening and very little is being done about it. From 1 January 2019 to 30 April 2019, there were already 126 farm attacks and 16 farm murders which for that period equates to a farm attack every day and on average a farmer is murdered every 7,5 days. To date for the year there have been a staggering 176 farm attacks and 20 farm murders.
The ANC president, Ramaphosa, denies that these atrocities occur and the police are doing very little about it, they also refuse to make these attacks priority crimes for investigation.
