Genocide Against White South Africans, Facts and Number

by Antonio Graceffo

President Trump has once again come under fire for admitting White South Africans to the United States under claims of genocide. So far, 59 White South Africans have been granted asylum in the U.S., citing racial persecution and violence.

The same media and politicians who want deported MS-13 gang members returned to the U.S. have decided that there is no genocide in South Africa. While no international court has formally declared it a genocide, and the legal threshold for such a designation is high, the facts on the ground are difficult to ignore: white South Africans are being persecuted. They face the constant threat of violence, along with a legal framework that restricts their career opportunities and threatens to strip them of their land.

South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world, and at least half a million people have been murdered in South Africa since the end of apartheid. Some sources claim that as many as a quarter of those victims, particularly in the early years of the current system, were White. However, this claim has been difficult to verify due to the lack of race-disaggregated data in official crime reports.

Attacks on White-owned farms, including theft, rape, assault, and murder, are well documented. Since 1994, there have been approximately 3,398 farm murders, many involving white farmers. In 2024 alone, South Africa recorded nearly 20,000 homicides, including 32 farm-related murders and 256 farm attacks, most of which targeted White farming families. These numbers point to a disproportionate threat faced by White South Africans.
