Busting The Myth Of White Genocide SA

We are tired of the dangerous myths being shared about South Africa overseas.
Come get the real facts 👉

Thread 1/10
In Apartheid South Africa there were white people who hated black people,
they believed if black people ever came into power they would exact revenge upon them in a Volksmoord or “white genocide”

@riseagainstevil As a member of the minority i am backing this call for an attack on the misinformation and disinformation that is being spread by Afriforum and others which is just not true. Being white in South Africa is easier than being any other colour in South Africa without question!

@Martin_ASFL @KelRo736 As said, Martin, your “Index” is like this 👇🏾 and doesn’t SPECIFY which Section of the Act is racist and or discriminates against whom (as Kelly mentioned, and something you clearly refused to address: saying “it’s not a factor in the Index”, which is ridiculous and uneducated).

[Kelly R @KelRo736]

You do have a problematic relationship with the truth.

Nobody agreed about this. You made a list of laws that were ostensibly race-based and subtly put race law in the website address. You do not link the legislation you list, the impugned sections are not indicated, no layperson is going to properly comprehend the meaning of "ancillary" in light of the Constitution, and even then the vast majority of those laws are not race-BASED. You've used a broad criteria to demonise concepts of equity, representation, diversity and redress where race is not mentioned. It may also feature in one permissive provision of an Act, which in no way renders the entire law race-based.
At no point have you stepped in to clarify the incredibly misguided belief or ill-founded agenda of racial persecution against white South Africans by explaining the nature of the legislation and how it is race-based in any way at all. Those Acts about libraries, for example, are impacting nobody's daily life and I'm sorry, but you'd have to be dreaming to suggest, or allow somebody to think, that anything in that legislation, or most of the others listed, is discriminatory in any way.

Practically, there is no material evidence of discrimination. If there was, most of the laws would've been taken to the CC before you could snap your fingers. I don't know if you've ever practised, either, but when interpreting legislation in light of the Constitution, you need to interpret it in a manner that would not render it invalid or absurd. Ergo, the assumption that the law to be used or read is prima facie valid.

There is not one single law there - not even BEE- that furthers this persecution nonsense. The numbers simply don't back you up.

And honestly, why do we have that index of race laws that are barely race laws? It isn't information we don't already have. Why not spend that time writing your LLM thesis instead? This kind of thing reminds me of a 50s housewife who writes shopping and to-do lists that run beyond one or two pages because they need to find something else to do.

[Kelly R @KelRo736]

It is vibes-based to point out that the same race law index is put out by the head of policy at FMF who is also the columnist who wrote a piece with a screaming "Persecution" image?

In fact, vibes based is what I would call your index at the moment and you know perfectly well why. And not even on ideological grounds.

You've unashamedly not only allowed people to weaponise that list, which has the subheading "Colour Discrimination Law" despite no actual investigation or explanation into why you allege they are discriminatory. You do not clarify but raise your hands as if you're just providing a public service. The reason for inclusion is out of line with various aspects of the index itself but there are yet more problems before we even get there. Why not mention the sections that bring race into the law? Why not link the legislation? Why not indicate against whom it discriminates and how? Why claim the test is whether it is a positive law that makes race legally relevant when it does not match the description of the index at all - the very subheading is, as stated, "An Index of Colour Discrimination Law in SA".? Why not define legal relevance in layman's terms, for that matter?
People have taken as gospel and weaponised what has not even been subject to independent review. It is not even possible to review independently because one would have to guess what you were thinking when certain laws were included.

So, no. It's not vibes. And if you think it is, given how people have manipulated it in the wake of your silence, having 50% or more be misclassified may well put you into propaganda territory, especially given that you use your "legislated discrimination" in columns about persecution in your column.

Ever taken the oath as an admitted attorney? If you have, you should know that misleading the public or feeding them pseudo-intellectual explanations that do not align with what you are doing certainly doesn't form part of it.

@ZizinjaAbelungu White people have to dismantle white supremacy

[The Travellers Husband 🇿🇦 @davidjohn_win]

Stop being a shitty liar. At least try be credible.
My 2 white sons are currently at university in South Africa. So are all their mates, black and white. Just piss off.

[Mmusi Maimane MP @MmusiMaimane]

Haibo? This one can’t remember his own lies.

We have a real threat to our economy and democracy from these bot accounts which are being amplified by Elon Musk for ulterior motives.

Also no one says “carjacking” in South Africa.

[Tinus le Roux @tinusleroux]

South African Twitter referring to the Afrikaner 'refugees' going to America as "Die Groot Tsek",
is one of the funniest, most nuanced, 'inside krieket' jokes every created.
One of the many reasons I'm staying.

[Pierre de Vos ⚖️ @pierredevos]

Musk’s AI Grok bot rants about non-existing ‘white genocide’ in South Africa in unrelated chats. Chatbot goes on hours-long fritz, repeatedly mentioning ‘white genocide’, which it is ‘instructed to accept as real’. https://t.co/et7jvMu4dp

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

'I am passionate about promoting South Africa. I've no intention of accepting Donald Trump's offer. South Africa is my home.' Afrikaner influencer Ulrich Janse van Vuuren's depiction of his country contrasts with the 'genocide' claims by Trump. https://t.co/LZBu2qDS81

[Michael de Villiers @Mikedotcoza]

What Roets is calling for here, and has consistently advocated, is extremely dangerous. He wants South Africa to abandon a unified government in favour of separate governance by racial groups. This is unacceptable anywhere in the world.

@DeliaByliefeldt @Abramjee @PSiRALive I thought you were coming along well, making a point that these thugs need to be punished for what they did. However, you lost me at the end when you started conflating issues of EWC etc. what's that got to do with this incident? Typical white mentality of persecutory delusions

[DaddyCool @CharlieDance18]

@DeliaByliefeldt @Abramjee @PSiRALive You lost me when you started bleating about the land expropriation bill.

[Busting The Myth Of White Genocide SA @BustingSa]

Yes, the embassy is in South Africa, and when they look out the window or drive for a Mcdonalds everyday they see there is no white genocide. It only somehow exists on the internet on X from people who think they are vikings.

[AMERICAN VIKING BOER @viking_boer]

@USEmbassySA Hope the @USEmbassySA looks at all these comments below how vile afrikaners are treated in South Africa. It's really bad. PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT. BAD THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN SOUTH AFRICA.

US tariffs: Farmers hardest hit as AfriForum’s ‘fearmongering’ backfires

[Jejune The Annihilator @Midnight_JJ0]

@barnes_law This is nonsense. When tariffs on foreign goods are raised, domestic producers, protected from international competition, then raise the prices of the goods they sell. Reduced competition also lowers quality. It's a story as old as time. We're doomed to learn it AGAIN
