I had heard about the genocide and land cofiscation some time ago, thinking it was horrid at the time but never hearing about it again I thought they were done with that. What is the world coming to that this can carry on. There is such a drop in morality and I welcome my little retreat in the forest. I'm so sorry to hear that this may be driving your country to civil war, I hope you will be safe and allowed to live a peaceful existence. Take care and please update us if there is any more major turn of events.

@porters the reason I'm writing these political posts (which I actually hate) is because so little of the truth is getting international coverage. This is why people like Lauren Southern have made the Farmlands documentary (as horrific as it is) Some countries are opening their borders for the South Africans that are seeking asylum. I know that it is that desperate here when people flee overseas
Yes it is very desperate when people have to seek asylum overseas. What about for you. Do you fear your life at all?
We are blessed to still live in one of the few (if not only) safer places in the country. But my husband is Afrikaans and of the mindset of the general Boer/Afrikaaner that we remain and fight. He's part of many safety groups around the country. This means not only do we keep abreast of all the leaked news but also the bigger groups who will stand together to help one another defend (or ultimately flee if it comes to that)
So your husbands ancestry is from there? I can see how a man would want to defend his homeland but it must be scary for you to know that civil war could erupt in your country. Do keep safe and thanks for sharing the plight of your country.
Well yes and no. We are not from this area originally (only moved here 7 years ago) I am British, Scot decent (a bit of Dutch) while my husband is Dutch and some Brit. South Africa is our home. You get to know that among English speaking South African's there is not as much of a tendency to fight it out. A lot of the English South African's use ancestral British passports to emigrate. The Afrikaaner is extremely patriotich and inclined to fight for their land
Ahh! Thanks for the explanation. Yes if it is your home that you have been building and the place you want to be, I can see how you would fight and stand up to the corrupt system to keep your home and Africa a place where you can flourish in peace and harmony.
