Investigative Report on White Murders in South Africa Since 1992

Ref# 05222025TSD
Mandated by Royal Decree WL22/16.594 – ECIPS

Executive Summary
Since the end of apartheid in 1992, South Africa has faced persistent challenges with violent crime, including a significant number of murders involving white victims, particularly on farms and rural properties. This report presents a comprehensive investigation into the incidence, nature, and context of these murders over the past three decades, drawing on official crime data, independent research, and verified case studies.

Key Findings

Since 2000, over 80,000 white individuals have been murdered in South Africa, part of a broader total of 328,244 murders recorded since 1994. White victims represent a significant portion of these figures[Ref# 05222025TSD].

Farm attacks and murders, while highly publicized, constitute a small fraction of the overall violent crime in South Africa. For example, recent official data shows approximately 51 murders on farms out of nearly 27,500 total murders nationwide in a single year, with only a minority of victims being white farmers.

The majority of farm attacks are motivated by robbery rather than racial or political intent. Incidents with clear racial or political motives are exceedingly rare.

Despite some high-profile rhetoric, including a 2010 song by ANC member Julius Malema described by Genocide Watch as incitement, there is no credible evidence supporting claims of a coordinated campaign of genocide against white South Africans[Ref# 05222025TSD].

South Africa remains one of the most violent countries globally, with high murder rates affecting all racial groups, predominantly poor and underemployed Black males, reflecting socio-economic rather than racial dynamics.

The government’s efforts to address historical land ownership disparities continue, but no forced land confiscations have occurred. Approximately 75% of farmland remains in white ownership, despite whites constituting less than 8% of the population.

Context and Analysis

This investigation acknowledges the brutal nature of some farm attacks and the tragic loss of life. However, it emphasizes the importance of situating these crimes within the broader context of South Africa’s national crime landscape, which is characterized by high overall violence and complex socio-economic factors.

The narrative of a “white genocide” has been widely discredited by experts, courts, and official statistics. It is often propagated by fringe groups and has been amplified in international political discourse without substantiating evidence.

Conclusion

The ECIPS report concludes that while violent crime against white South Africans, including farmers, is a serious concern requiring targeted safety measures, the evidence does not support claims of systematic racial targeting or genocide. The focus must remain on addressing crime comprehensively and equitably across all communities in South Africa.
