It's not a thing. Violent crime is a problem in South Africa, and some people like to think that they are being specifically targeted, but the statistics do not support that.

Here's an article by a respected South African newspaper on the recent events: https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-05-12-were-sending-a-clear-message-us-welcomes-afrikaner-refugees-in-washington/

Of the 19,000 murders recorded in South Africa between January and September 2024, 50 were farm murders, according to a News24 report. This number included people of all races, added the report.

Yeah, last election was a disaster. We queued for 3.5 hours before voting. Left at 19:00 and the queue was even longer than when we started.

I sincerely hope this never gets off the ground. I think Tom Scott said it best.

They actually did adjust for inflation.

We study poverty in the now-conventional sense of living on less than $2.15 per day in 2017 PPP dollars (World Bank, 2023), using both consumption- and income-based measures as available.

1 These rates are based on the $2.15 2017 PPP poverty line (Chen and Ravallion, 2010; World Bank, 2023). See https://pip.worldbank.org/

I can't see anything about this on DuckDuckGo. Do you have a link?
