In a statement, AfriForum’s head of policy and action, Ernst Roets, said the solution to the farm killings was twofold.
“The message of the agricultural killings must be extended to the ends of the earth and carried into the chambers of the UN council to ensure that the international community takes notice,” said Roets.
“The second part of the solution, which is even more important, is for people to realize that the government will not solve the crisis. Communities must become the solution for themselves by joining community security structures so that they can take care of their own security. “
Roets said community members expressed sympathy and compassion, but were also furious at the situation in the country.
“The anger that people expressed is a consequence of the cruelty of a problem that just persists, coupled with the indifferent attitude of the government towards farm killings,” said Roets.
Madonsela told AfriForum that justifying violence and destroying public property in Senekal was not the way to go.
“Dear AfriForum, your valid concerns about the levels of violence affecting its members do not justify the violation of the law and the destruction of public property in Senekal,” he said.
“Is the South Africa you want to live in one of self-help for all? Anarchy is not the answer to concerns about the rule of law. “
