Just read this on Fox News Mobile and thought it may be of interest to some members. Warning -WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Last month, British woman Sue Howarth and her husband Robert Lynn were woken at 2am by three men breaking into a window of their remote farm in Dullstroom, a small town in the northeast of South Africa, about 150 miles from the nearest capital city.

The use of torture in these cases is quite disturbing. Robbery is one thing, but the torture is on a whole new (low) level. Smells sort of Mau Mau-ish. | |||

To all those who have been dismissing the various reports from people "on the ground" that RSA is reeking with criminals and "white genocide" is the national agenda, you ought to use the google functions more often and confirm the atrocities being committed against the "white" farming communities in the "Land of the Rainbow". | |||

What's happening is a disgrace & the fact the SA Governmunt is not only ignoring it but encouraging it is even more of a disgrace. But the most disgraceful things of all are that the Govts of the western world are turning a blind eye & not only ignoring the genocide but continuing to pay foreign aid whilst refusing to offer white Africans sanctuary........... whilst offering it to every other ethnic group under the sun. ![]() | |||

I thought when the World Cup was in the RSA that the world would see what has really happened to that country. Nothing happened. I was surprised. | |||

Dullstroom is a nice tourist area in the mountains. Known as the trout fishing capital of RSA. I have been there a few times. | |||

They did happen but virtually nothing was reported by the western media...... which takes us back to the blind eye I mentioned. ![]() | |||

Agree with all the above. But like JTEX says...it does not fit the liberal agenda.

Africa is simmering at the moment. Kenya has seen large scale land invasions accompanied by violence, with some of the Kenyan politicians singing the praises of Mugabe. Zim continues to degenerated- if that were even possible! Mozambique is more than simmering.....South Africa is sitting on a knife edge. It has been there before but the next few months are critical. If it reaches that negative tipping point it will be something the likes of the past few generations have never seen before. I wouldn't think it necessary to cancel or postpone safaris yet. But you absolutely need to book with the more established and long standing outfitters. They haven't survived by been wet behind the ears and out of touch! And make sure you have the right trip insurance and evacuation cover. The press may not be reporting on it but the situation is very real and the rise of wide spread radical views is on the increase. Many say the world needs to know ; but quite frankly the major powers do and are not interested. | |||

As it is now I will not spend a dime in RSA.. We need to stop the foreign aid...that is a language they understand and that will hopefully remove the most corrupt racist African leaders.. I had my far share of corrupt RSA police at Oliver Tambo last December.. | |||

PONDORO, That is the wrong approach you are spending your money in SA ACTUALY WITH THE GUYS THAT ARE MAKKING A DIFRENCE, Same as in Zimbabwe and anywhere else in Africa for that matter, the good people relied on guys like you to keep there business going. And I am sure I am speaking on behalf of all the outfitters world wide.... I would like to thank all our loyal clients and friends that are the only reason we are in business today!

If I was allowed to tuck my .45 ACP under my vest when I drove away from OR Tambo...it would be a little less disconcerting. Otherwise...it gives me pause...afterall...we are going for FUN. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

The West letting Mugabe get away with confiscation of land in Zimbabwe, set the precedent for the remaining countries in Africa with any semblance of freehold tenure and commercial farming. What politician can resist the promise of a lifetime in office for playing Robin Hood? Viva Mugabe! The West letting the ANC get away with plunder in SA sets a similar precedent. Who is going to play by the rules when theft seems to work so well for those at the top. Give me some!! Where is mine?? And why stop at farms? After all there are some very nice houses and cars owned by white people. What nobody in the West will tell you is that Putin put a stop to similar shenanigans in Russia. It will take a man of similar backbone and ruthless methods to get Africa in line.

Nothing happened then because everything was great. The entire country was celebrating: Blacks, Whites, Coloureds and Indians - plus me. There wasn't a single serious incident to write about. | |||

Check the March 25, 2017 edition of "The Economist" on page 41 for an interesting article on the struggles of the South Africa Constitutional Court with the current government of South Africa. It appears that government corruption is well established and that the Court has marginal ability / power to affect such corruption. | |||

Above post from Manathelo
Savages castrated poor guy then ate his testicles in front of him! Cannibals in South Africa, you will not see that on the brochure. My friends and contacts are telling me that there are more attacks than normal. You would think that if it was that bad there would be reports of retaliation from the Boers but that may just what the ANC and other party officials want. It must not be that bad because the State Department has not issued any Travel Warning for RSA. | |||
