This was revealed by Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, during a media briefing following the latest Cabinet meeting in Pretoria.

As part of efforts to address misleading narratives, the SA Police Service engaged with AfriForum to discuss claims regarding farm murders. Ntshavheni stated that the Afrikaner interest group has acknowledged the accuracy of crime statistics published by the Minister of Police, including those related to farm attacks.

Providing further clarification, Ntshavheni remarked, “It is common knowledge that some of the farm murders are committed by people known to the farmers, including family members. Cabinet is also aware of the false claim that there are approximately 72 000 white farmers who have signed up to relocate to the United States (US) in response to the invitation by the US President.  

According to data from StatsSA, SA only has 41 122 farming units, and therefore, there cannot be 72 000 white farmers leaving SA.”
