As a white South African, before I was 18, I experienced:
2 carjackings, 1 successful & included racial abuse.
2 muggings, both at knife point, one at 12 years old, both included overt racism.
3 home invasions, 1 time they shot at us.
All I think about all that is thank God it was not worse, because the same circumstances have ended a lot worse to many people I love.
My neighbour was executed on the side of the road by two men he let hitch a ride on the back of his truck.

Another man stopped to see why the car was pulled over with the door open, the shot him too.

The murderers let his black foreman walk away, he cried a lot at the funeral.
I remember arriving at a nearby farm once to drop off something. A bunch of people came out with guns and told me that this farmer, an intergenerational family friend, was shot and killed closing a farm gate in a random attack, they left his car idling and didn’t even take it.
A friend of mine in university in the UK, a lovely fine art student called Anna, was in the car on the way to the airport to leave South Africa with her family, and her mom was shot and killed in an attempted carjacking.
Just this last year:
-my great grandfather’s cousin and his wife (84 and 85) were kidnaped for R2M ransom, it was a targeted hit.
-a 94 year old aunt had a home invasion and the ransacked the house around her in bed.
-my cousin was stabbed in the arm in an attempted carjacking.
I was born after the end of apartheid.

My dad was a conscientious objector to the (apartheid) draft and faced prison.

My family ran charity medical clinics, feeding programs and orphanages.

We are the pacifist liberals. We believed in the new South Africa.
That’s my opinion about the South African white refugees matter; we are and always were a blessing to Africa, but if they do not want us we will be a blessing elsewhere.

God bless America 🇺🇸
Watch this if you’re interested in the subject.
The worst people are now commenting. Lol Image
This is why we must not stop telling the truth.
