I did a quick fact check, as I was under the impression more of these murders were due to racial tensions. AfricaCheck, the website that posted this piece is regarded as very factual and is used by google as a fact check source in their Fact Check Tool: https://toolbox.google.com/factcheck/explorer

Well, that's a staggering amount of misleading, unproven or incorrect claims for a site that claims to be a fact checker.

Africa Check is a non-profit fact checking organisation set up in 2012 to promote accuracy in public debate and the media in Africa. The organisation's goal is to raise the quality of information available to society across the continent.

You mean the racial tensions related to 10% of white settlers owning 90% of the real estate?

Being a thief is a hazard to one's health, yes.

We could just drive them out and replicate Zimbabwe I guess.

Also are the complainers Bantu settlers or Khoi-San natives?
