Controversial Afrikaans singer Steve Hofmeyr has posted a video “SOS to the World” from South Africa.
The singer says it is a short video in English for the eyes and ears of overseas viewers.
Hofmeyr says: “I appeal now to our 800,000 expats … to relay this cry for help and to not forget us in what could’ve been the most beautiful country in the world, South Africa.
“We appeal for intervention for all victims, but especially our South African women and children, black and white; and then for the single most dangerous job in the world – that of the South African commercial farmer.”
He says he would not ask for help if he thought the SA farm murder rate was decreasing… but it is at an all time high; and is more brutal than ever and no will from the state other than to play lip service.
South Africans are using this moment to try to attract world attention to the escalating violence in South Africa. See below this video for a letter that has been sent to the House of Lords, London.
Please Note: There are many sentiments expressed in Hofmeyr’s video which do not reflect the opinions of SAPeople or its staff.

Meanwhile there is another side to the story. Some South Africans have pointed out that there is other farm violence which is being ignored in the latest wave of ‘farm murder’ concern:
