DA Abroad strongly condemns misinformed narratives of genocide in South Africa
16 April 2018
The DA Abroad strongly condemns the orchestrated narrative of a genocide in South Africa targeted at white farmers. There have recently been numerous reports from Australia and Belgium media as well as various protest action against an alleged “white genocide" taking place in South Africa.
While we commend the concerns of South Africa’s expat community, the DA Abroad condemns organisers of protests and events who perpetuate misinformed narratives and mobilise on the basis of race.
Violent crime in South Africa is unacceptably high and it affects all South Africans, regardless of race. The DA is dedicated to ensuring that every South African feels safe and protected in our country.
We are of the view that these narratives surrounding an alleged “white genocide" are blatantly incorrect and simply untrue. These reports are nothing more than an attempt to divide South Africans on the basis of race and to derail our country’s reconciliation process.
