South African Farmers Face Violence and Political Backlash, Says Journalist Lara Logan

In a recent interview with Alex Jones, renowned investigative journalist Lara Logan, a South African-born American and Texan, shed light on the escalating violence against white farmers in South Africa and the political controversy surrounding their resettlement in the United States.

Logan detailed the dire situation in her native country, where she claims white farmers are being targeted with extreme violence and discriminatory laws, while facing accusations of white supremacy from critics in the U.S.

Logan described the brutal reality for South Africa’s roughly 30,000 commercial farmers, predominantly white Afrikaners, who face not only violent attacks but also government policies aimed at expropriating their land without compensation. “White farmers are being murdered at incredible rates,” she stated, emphasizing the gruesome nature of the attacks, which include torture, gang rape, and boiling victims alive. She argued that these farmers, who produce much of the country’s food, live under constant threat, relying on private security systems as government support is absent.

Drawing parallels to Zimbabwe, where land seizures led to economic collapse and widespread poverty, Logan warned that South Africa’s proposed land expropriation could devastate its food supply. “Zimbabwe had 5,000 white commercial farmers when they took the land. Inflation went to 800-900%, and most of the population descended into poverty,” she said. With South Africa’s larger agricultural sector, the consequences could be even more catastrophic, potentially leading to mass starvation.

Logan, who grew up in South Africa and is not of Afrikaner descent, highlighted the unique cultural identity of the Afrikaners, a group she described as a “tribe” rooted in the land for over 400 years. Their language, Afrikaans, is spoken nowhere else, and their history is deeply tied to the soil they farm. She refuted claims that these farmers are white supremacists, calling such accusations “profoundly dishonest” and part of a political agenda driven by Marxist and globalist forces. Logan pointed to the influence of organizations like George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, which she alleges have fueled racial division in South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994.

The interview also addressed the controversy in the U.S., where former President Donald Trump has been criticized for reportedly supporting the resettlement of 59 Afrikaners. Critics, including some Democrats and media figures, have labeled these farmers as white supremacists, a narrative Logan condemned as “desperate” and disconnected from reality. She argued that the same political forces opposing the farmers’ asylum claims readily accept migrants from other regions, including those with questionable backgrounds, while ignoring the legitimate persecution faced by South African farmers.

Logan traced the roots of South Africa’s current challenges to Marxist influences within the African National Congress (ANC), the ruling party since Nelson Mandela’s election. While Mandela preached unity and democracy, Logan claimed that subsequent leaders, influenced by globalist agendas, have embraced divisive racial politics. She cited Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, who has led chants calling for violence against farmers, as a key figure in this shift.

The journalist expressed heartbreak over South Africa’s decline, noting its crumbling infrastructure and rising poverty. She warned that the country’s fate is tied to global ideological battles, particularly in the U.S., where she believes the same forces of division are at play. “If it’s not defeated in the United States, they will keep murdering white South Africans until there are none left,” Logan asserted.

As the debate over South African farmers’ plight intensifies, Logan’s interview underscores the complex interplay of local violence, global politics, and ideological warfare, urging a reevaluation of narratives surrounding race and asylum.
