ToekomsVonk and its Board welcome US President Donald Trump’s Twitter message on farm murders and land expropriation in South Africa.
President Trump announced in his Twitter message of 23 August that he had asked the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo “to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers.” The message concludes that the South African government is engaged in the seizure of white farmers’ land.
ToekomsVonk’s investigation team has been busy for some time now to compile statistics on attacks and murder of farmers and in general. The investigation has been launched because many of the attacks and murders do not reach the mainstream media. These statistics are regularly published in English to ensure that all people can read and understand it. The figures are carefully checked and confirmed before the statistics are published.
The statistics are staggering with a farm attack every 1.4 days (average) and a farmer is killed every 5 days (average). ToekomsVonk thus undertakes to support the US Secretary of State in his investigation, by providing further information and statistics to him through the US Embassy in Pretoria.
