  • The phrase "kill the Boer" is a very dangerous sentence to be saying without any context; please refrain from using it without reason. Indeed, it has frequently been analysed by white farmers in South Africa as a dog whistle to promote white genocide, and thus mass violence against them. Courts in the country instead argue that violence against farmers is not motivated by racial hatred, with black farmers also being targeted, and further say that overall violence has decreased over time; but the lived experience of white farmers contradicts this, and there is still no definite proof of theory or the other. The truth remains unclear, and one must avoid biased reporting by taking both sides into account.
