Kill the Boer, explicit: Does this really need interpretation.open.substack.com/pub/emancipato… Charles Chevalier- Newsletter Kill the Boer, explicit: does this really need interpretation. Charles Chevalier May 18, 2025 SA Farm murders: 'White Cross monument' memorial ceremony 4 September ... The USA has given refugee status to 49 white South African farmers, landing in their new home on May 12th. As expected, the hand-wringing progressives were out of the trap faster than a greyhound; racial bias hysteria was the call to arms. The usual suspects were crying over their soy lattes. Nonetheless, putting aside progressive tears and histrionics, President Trump has delivered 49 South African farmers to safety in the USA. Russia, in recent times, has also offered South African farmers a new home, although this was hailed as an exercise in white supremacy by the progressive left. The offer was not made with refugee status, however, it was offered with a fast-track immigration process. South African farmers are a demographic that is extremely vulnerable to murder by Black South African criminal elements, who are encouraged by political parties to carry out some of the most heinous crimes imaginable, equal and consistent in many cases, with the barbarism that occurred during the Bosnian conflict and October 7th in Israel. The South African gov just told the world that white Afrikaner refugees aren’t fleeing persecution, they’re fleeing “racial justice.” Their president then called them cowards for escaping. Fundamentally, what the former statement means is that by escaping, these farmers, have pole vaulted, a black South African racial justice disposal of being raped, murdered and then having their land stolen. By fleeing, they have obstructed black South Africans from the pleasure of sexual torture and murder, informed by racial grievance. This may all sound perfectly reasonable to a black South Africans wallowing in self-pity, rigidly lodged in their continual decolonialism discourses, indeed, is a psychopathy, the dark triad personality is prevalent, no pun intended, born in victim status that enhances racial grievance, but to the rest of the world, it sounds completely obscene and utterly surreal. There is no JUSTICE in penalizing those who did not commit the crime. It is greed, envy, and racism. "White Afrikaners are not “refugees,” they’re beneficiaries of land theft, apartheid, and generational privilege." Let's assume that's true, which it is not. What should we do with them? And what price should Zulus have to pay for the Mfecane Difaqane (Sotho) or Lifaqane? A conveniently forgotten period by black South Africans, which resulted in significant land theft and genocide. There is reliable evidence and a consensus among historians that these Zulu kings perpetrated widespread killings of other groups as they tried to establish and maintain the Zulu kingdom. Some examples mentioned include actions against the Qwabe, amaMbata, and Nwandwe chiefdoms, where the intent was to exterminate entire populations. While these historical events should not be used in the justification of colonialism, they should be employed to realise a common thread between both events, lessons should be learned, in that actions immersed in historical impropriety are not exclusive to either group. Black Africans tend to view their individual nations' history as whiter than white in terms of moral values. For decades, South African farmers have been murdered by black criminals who invade farms, killing entire families, but not before they exact a form of sexual torture informed by racial vengeance on the unfortunate, hard-working, highly educated, and skilled farmers of South Africa. Farmers who are among the best in the world. The murder and sexual torture that these unfortunate families have had to endure can only be described as the most grotesque accounts of human savagery, which is not only confined to the adults of these families but also their children, some of whom are mere infants or babies. One of the refugees who landed in the USA, a middle-aged woman, describes four attacks where she has been lucky enough to survive. This is the reality that farmers in South Africa live with; every day that passes brings them closer to the day when their farm will be next. To live like this, as many can imagine, must surely be one of a fraught and very poor existences indeed. Western media have failed to highlight black racism in South Africa and the barbarism that white SA farmers have been subject to over the last two decades, because black people can’t be racist, don’t you know. All justified in the name of a supposed historical privilege. When does it end, and how long before the past is put to bed and lessons learned, inform the future trajectory of the country? South Africa’s apartheid system ended in 1994. Apartheid was a political system informed by the Dutch Reform Church that believed all people should remain within their racial category and develop separate social orders. This was the structural system enacted when the Dutch regained political control from the British contingent of South Africa in 1948. In the ensuing years, black Africans were pushed outward from urban areas to more rural areas of South Africa, where they lived in townships mainly consisting of corrugated iron and wood-built dwellings, with no sanitation or running water supply. When entering urban areas, they were to carry a pass, a card that was in essence a passport to enter and move about within the mainly white city urban areas. In the early days after apartheid was abolished, there was a hope that all South Africans could be brought together as one nation, with the racial aspect that drove apartheid consigned to history, and one where lessons of the past could be learned to inform the future. Many initiatives attempted to right past wrongs; for example, one such initiative was the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This was brought into being by Nelson Mandela, the new president of South Africa at the time, leader of the African National Congress political party (ANC), and Desmond Tutu, a South African Anglican Bishop. The commission was established to invite victims of human rights abuses to present statements about their experiences, with some selected for public hearings. In addition, perpetrators of violence were also invited to provide testimony and request amnesty from prosecution in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. While the initial euphoria enveloping the new paradigm carried hope for many, it also dragged with it racial resentment that failed to learn from the past. A racial resentment that manifested in expected ways for redress with savage retributive criminality and flawed political and ideological driven concepts employed as socio-political redress that invariably would lead to failure in its one-nation aim. As many of us now know in the Western world, Marxist conceptions have undermined our societies, our political system of democratic governance and economy for example, DEI and CRT frameworks that create a distinct advantage for minority populations and leave the majority at a disadvantage, for example, Positive Action in the UK and affirmative action in the USA. South Africa fell to the same fate, except it fell further, as the ANC is historically influenced by Marxist Leninism, and South African politics as a whole are dominated by political parties informed by Marxist doctrine. Meaning, black Africans in SA exact a tyranny of the majority over the minority white population, while the opposite is true in Western nations, with a tyranny of minorities. The latter expressed as a far more insidious and twisted mutation of liberal democratic governance influenced by Marxist conceptions, which in and of themselves are deeply flawed, inevitably resulting in racist and discriminatory practices. Since the ANC came to power in 1994, the government has enacted 144 pieces of legislation that discriminate against white people. Affirmative action is writ large in all forms of employment, where white people are regularly excluded from public service jobs, and in the private sector. It’s no accident that many white South Africans are self-employed. Education suffers from similar disparities where white South Africans must unofficially achieve around 10% higher marks than black South Africans in the matric exams (Final year exams in high school) to gain entry and study disciplines, for example, medicine. South African universities, including those offering medical degrees, have implemented affirmative action policies aimed at addressing the historical underrepresentation of Black, Coloured, and Indian students. These policies often involve considering factors beyond academic merit alone to achieve a more diverse student body. DEI and CRT conceptions and frameworks govern the selection process for access to employment and tertiary education. Bringing us to the South African constitution that has been papered over with black racial supremacy, and a reckless and quixotic naivety driven by political expedience. A classic case of Left brain wins over right brain; the left side is Don Quixote and highly impractical in its idealism, while the right brain is your dad, pointing out home truths and warning you about being reckless. The preamble of the South African constitution contains the following sentiment. “South Africa should belong to all who live in it.” “Except if you're white” is missing in the sentiment, but is directly felt by white South Africans. Particularly, but not exclusively, regarding farmland where the ANC has passed legislation that allows the state to confiscate farmers’ land without any compensation. The ANC denies this has ever happened, meaning not yet. The bill only passed in January 2025. Notwithstanding the considerable glut of evidence suggesting it will occur, white farmers can be forgiven for thinking it is merely a matter of time before their farms are confiscated and gifted to those families and friends of South Africa’s corrupt political and business elite, with the bonus of playing to the larger populations' racial grievances. Commonly, when there is a problem/issue in South Africa, the ruling political class, the ANC and their affiliates, point to colonialism and the disparities of the past (Broken record syndrome), inevitably, followed by some distracting form of legislative instrument that attacks the white population in South Africa. The land appropriations bill follows the shambles that is now the South African economy. It is incredible how a country with such considerable natural wealth has so spectacularly mismanaged it, and now barely meets its people’s needs. There is a wide range of climatic conditions in South Africa, allowing for a highly diverse agricultural sector in terms of a socio-economic context, especially rainfall. With Subarid land, which accounts for 90% of the country. Only 10% of the land is considered hyper arid, with a mere 14% considered agriculturally viable. Although these numbers may seem small, South Africa is completely agriculturally self-sufficient and in no need of imported farm crops. Agriculture accounts for 390.4 million of the total GDP. In terms of natural wealth, SA has a rich and wide variety of mineral resources, including gold, diamonds, platinum, manganese, copper, uranium, beryllium, titanium, and iron ore. The Witwatersrand gold reef is the largest gold reef in the world, discovered in the 1880s and home of the Krugerrand, a world-sought-after gold coin made from reef gold. The Kimberly diamond mine, known as the “big hole” and which can be seen from space, is the largest in the world, producing some of the biggest diamonds ever mined. Furthermore, the Bushveld complex is considered the world's largest platinum group metal resource multiplex. The wide array of metals mined in SA is used across multiple industries, including automotive, medical, and electronics, and is widely used in the production of jewelry or coins for investments. Iron ore production is carried out by Kumba Iron Ore Limited, one of the largest seaborne iron ore producers. In terms of GDP, mining accounts for 22.7 billion in total. In comparison to South Africa’s neighbours, GDP is significantly higher and is the exception rather than the rule in sub-Saharan Africa. GDP per capita has shrunk from $8000 in 2010 to $6,300 in 2024. The ruling party, ANC, has governed South Africa since the abolition of apartheid almost 40 years ago, and has been mired in corruption for the entire period. Even Nelson Mandela’s government was involved, particularly his wife Winnie Mandela, who had her chubby fingers firmly lodged in the cookie jar alongside being implicated in 6 murders. Not only the ANC but all political parties have been involved in corruption scandals. The political system is the weakest link in a country that, by all accounts, should be among the top ten richest countries of the world, considering the significant natural mineral resources, agriculture, offshore oil reserves, and tourism industry. Once one of the richest nations on Earth, contemporarily, South Africa cannot even keep the lights on. Its national electricity grid run by Eksom is plagued with constant blackouts, often lasting 12 hours or more, while the provider decides when the lights can go on or off in different municipalities. In addition, Water infrastructure is under immense pressure and is crumbling, and Transnet, the national rail provider, is collapsing, while SA Airlines folded in 2020. Add to affray, government services are less than functional and do not fulfil their purpose. Not to mention, Eskom, the state energy provider, is losing £52 million to theft every month, both by illegal electric grid access and corporate theft. Taking account of the huge incidence of crime, it doesn’t take a genius to understand that, South Africas’ criminal justice system is a complete mess, evidenced by the highest murder rate in the world alongside an epidemic of robberies, rape and sexual assaults. To put the South African murder rate in perspective, compare the murder per day rate in the USA, a population of 350 million, sitting at 44 murders p/d and South Africa’s population at 60 million, with an average murder per day rate of 84. Law and order are institutions, under managed and little recognised by South Africa’s political class as of imminent importance. And this has permeated into the heart of the agricultural sector. A little-known fact is that South African commercial farmers have been treated abysmally by post-apartheid governments, and more so in the last ten years. While everyone in the country has had to adapt to the changes that the new paradigm brought, farmers have been subject to more change than most, with a loss of support by the government in the form of tariffs, lost subsidies, and low-interest loans. Whats more, this is compounded by having to pay unemployment fund payments, interference and harassment by trade unions, and the many problems caused by the new land laws. Many geopolitical analysts can see where all this is going, and we have to look no further than South Africa's neighbor, Zimbabwe. All the signals are at red. Although both economies have different features, a common denominator is how Zimbabwe treated its farmers. Mass killings and land theft. South Africa has an unemployment rate of 36%, most of whom are black South Africans, which makes up just over 80% of the population. White South Africans’ unemployment, considering the huge disadvantage they are at, is 7%, and they make up 7% of the total population. Certainly, an aspect of SA's economy that drives high unemployment among the black population is the large reliance on a natural resource economy. Although South Africa has a diversified economy under Africa’s two-track economic structure, growth often occurs in sectors characterised by low absorption of unskilled labour, high earnings inequality, and high capital share of earnings, for example, mineral wealth extraction and its backward linkages that are sector-specific and limited to skilled labour. Depending on where you stand on the scale of skilled or unskilled, a natural resource-reliant economy can be viewed as a boon or a curse. For many black South Africans, the latter is felt in spades, due to high levels of unskilled labour in the population. This factor is taken advantage of by South African politicians, and it is then easy to whip up resentment of so-called white privilege. In the case of white farmers, the most greivous example is manifested in the Economic Freedom Fighters Party (EFF) leader Joseph Malema. Malema is a controversial character in South African politics who is barely able to control his racist tendencies and has on numerous occasions called for the slaughter of white South Africans. This racist vent is stubbornly aimed at White Afrikaners, descended from Dutch settlers, with a significant majority of whom are farmers. Malema chanting, “Kill the Boer” (Afrikaaners) “Kill the farmer. This rendition originated as a struggle song during apartheid, although after the abolition of apartheid was still a popular go-to song, transmogrified from political activism to political intimidation, chanted with fevered aggression at many political rallies of different flavours, including the ANC. Taking account of a supposed wish for truth and reconciliation, then what does one take from political parties or the black population at large, expressing the wish to murder an ethnic minority population? Does colonialism excuse this thought process? I think not, unless, of course, there is no real will for “Truth and Reconciliation” and they are words merely of aesthetic value to please the world media, aligning with progressive narratives saturated in decolonisation discourses. As Islam does reinterpretation, black South African politicians and the judiciary have taken a leaf from this book, protesting, the song is being misinterpreted as racism, when it is a song of struggle. A bit like Jihad, I suppose. “We were not talking about whites, we were talking about apartheid, this is a vulgar interpretation of the song,” suggests Gwede Manteshi of the ANC. Kill the Boer, I suggest, needs no nuanced interpretation; there are no subtleties of a foreign language to navigate or room to displace the sentiment as misunderstood. It is a clear call to kill white farmers, or white people in general. But that’s ok if it comes from black people. No surprise, double standards are a common theme in world politics when it comes to racial improprieties. South Africa's judiciary sees no evil, hears no evil, but speaks volumes in their ignorance or wilful blindness to recognise an incitement to violence that is explicit in its meaning. Imagine if the roles were reversed and white South African farmers chanted, kill the Zulu, kill the Sotho, or kill the kafir, I’m pretty sure the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) would reconsider their standards, mired in its racial grievance habitat. South African courts, including the Equality Court (in 2022) and subsequently the Supreme Court of Appeal, have ruled that the singing of "Kill the boer, kill the farmer" by members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) does not constitute hate speech under the specific legal definitions in South Africa. These courts have emphasized (reinterpreted in their favour) the importance of context, viewing the chant as a form of political agitation (reinterpreted) related to the struggle against apartheid and issues of land, rather than a literal incitement to violence. Tell that to Malema's mindless automatons in a 100,000-strong baying crowd. The Constitutional Court recently declined to hear a further appeal on this matter. This is what happens when you are perceived as the enemy by the state judiciary. We in the UK are equally attacked by an out-of-control political system where the separation of powers is regarded as a quaint concept of a bygone era, with the population persecuted by a similar convergence of progressive-influenced judicial rulings made by activist judges. I would think that Donald Trump offering refugee status to South African farmers is completely warranted; in fact, I think he should extend it to the entire white population of South Africa. Currently, there are around 8000 applications of interest in Trump's offer to South African farmers. In the meantime, the USA has expelled the South African ambassador to the USA, halted aid, served up an appetizing standard 10% tariff, accompanied by a 30% reciprocal tariff, essentially a 40% tariff on most South African goods and a 25% tariff on imported goods. In the coming months, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is due for renewal (September 2025), but with South Africa's Coat on a shaky nail, in terms of eligibility, it will come under scrutiny later this year, bringing great uncertainty. Considering the AGOA is highly beneficial to South Africa, specifically in the motor vehicle and agriculture sectors may mean economic oblivion. US lawmakers are concerned with South Africa's current volatile political topography at home and recent foreign policy decisions. The potential loss of AGOA benefits would have significant economic implications for South Africa, affecting key export sectors and potentially leading to many job losses. South Africa’s political class is immature, self-indulgent, and politically naïve to think they can carry on along the current trajectory without their country sliding further into the abyss. Lessons have not been learned from apartheid, and paradoxically, have ushered in an inverse form of apartheid, which discriminates against the white population. After the abolition of apartheid, the transition was made too quickly, not allowing the politically immature black population time to adjust and learn how to run a country. This would, in the immediate aftermath, have allowed bringing educational levels among the black population to a higher standard, with a greater understanding of the complexities involved in running a country and cultivating a nation socio-politically and socio-economically. This inevitably has led to failure in many aspects of democratic governance, specifically, socially and economically, not least due to the communist influence in black politics dating before apartheid. Additionally, the over-emphasis on rapidly decolonising institutions, which in the main were functional, but invariably handicapped by a heightened racial grievance, both of which bore far too much influence on politicking, and less so on nation-building and economic prosperity. It was like placing an infant in charge of the chocolate biscuits. This may seem harsh to black South Africans, however, it is based on fact when looking at literacy rates of the time and the very shallow depth of black political talent that were mainly activists. To bring a nation together, the fundamentals mean all groups must be on a level playing field, not an equitable field. The resulting fallout, due to discrimination and mistreatment, has meant a massive exodus over the last 40 years of white South Africans who were a central part of the South African economy. Resulting in a loss of expertise across industrial and technological fields and skills in construction, engineering, and scientific research, and most importantly, experience in all these fields. In its immaturity, while filling their pockets, this incompetent political class failed in their duty to respond immediately to economic fluctuations and infrastructure failings, and in its poor knowledge of social, political and economic institutions in the public and private domains, lost control, threw their hands up and resorted to the easy option, the blame game. They became lazy and complacent when they realised it was easy to manipulate a population with low literacy rates, (although they have now improved, fall far short of European rates of literacy), using white people as a scapegoat via racial grievance discourses to placate the black population/electorate. They lost control of law and order, and public services in general. They lost control of the economy, and penalised groups of high employment in the agricultural sector. They not only failed due to political immaturity, but also by having little resilience, and ambition driven by vision, but by a willful blindness to their nation's and country's injuries inflicted by them. One must wonder if all African nations cannot provide a good standard of living for all the people of their populations, who, in many cases, with significant natural resources, are all just villains who don’t care about their people. They can squeal all they want about colonialism or even neo-colonialism, the fact is, many African countries have been independent nations for many decades, and not one among all nations in Africa has reached the core of a global economy; they are all still on the semi-periphery or outer periphery. I await the day when one African nation runs its country properly, with bated breath as they thumb their noses at the world and just do their own thing. I love Africa, I lived on the continent for a considerable part of my youth, and want to see South Africa thrive. Knowing the past and learning from its failures is essential for South Africa's future. When the farmers are gone, “think Zimbabwe,” that should be a frightening thought for all South Africans.
