Fire Security Minister: Stop the murder of South African Farmers!

Ann Kioko started this petition to President Cyril Ramaphosa, the President of South Africa - 2024/05/22

The injustices facing white farmers in South Africa have been a topic of concern and debate.

The situation is dire and demands urgent attention. For decades, these farmers have been facing a growing wave of displacement and violence, which has not only led to loss of livelihoods but has also threatened their very existence in their own country.

The Transvaal Agricultural Union of South Africa, representing primarily white farmers, has criticized the government. They see a lack of swift response to murders on farms.

A young white farm manager was found strangled and tied to a pole in the Free State province. This highlights the vulnerability of white farmers to violent attacks. Displacement, murder, and attacks on South African white farmers are ongoing and alarming.

The farmers also feel threatened by a government plan to expropriate white-owned land without compensation as part of an effort to redress economic inequalities that remain stark a quarter of a century after the end of apartheid.

We need to act now. The violence against white farmers is escalating. They continue to face loss of life, property, and livelihoods. The need for immediate advocacy and action is critical.

In addition to safety concerns, we call for justice for white South African farmers. These farmers deserve recognition and protection. The violent attacks on them cause physical harm and dehumanize their worth. Advocating for justice means upholding their human dignity. This principle extends beyond South Africa and underscores the universal value of human life.

If the attacks against white farmers are not stopped, we face dire consequences. Continued violence could lead to more loss of life and harm. This affects not only farmers but the entire farming community.

We must not turn a blind eye to the signs and history’s lessons. The dangerous rhetoric and violence aimed at a particular group of society are deeply troubling, and we must act swiftly to address this grave situation

There is hope, but only if we make a big effort now. We need as many signatures as possible to make an impression. We must act now before it is too late.

Let us stand together to demand accountability, justice, and a safer future for all South Africans.

Sign our petition calling on the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, to fire the security Minister for failing to address the targeted attacks and displacement of white farmers.
