Farm Murders

Since the start of South Africa Today in 2014 many farm attack and farm murder stories has been published and can be found in the archives on South Africa Today.

In 2016 a particularly gruesome farm murder was covered by South Africa Today where a family was brutally murdered on their farm in Randfontein, South Africa. Of the people who were murdered, was 9-year-old Kayla Meyer.

After a horrific start to 2017 with an escalation of farm murders in South Africa some world newspapers took note and the German website Journalisten Watch published an article in German "Südafrika: Völkermord erreicht neuen Rekord" with a list of names of the farmers and people who were murdered.

18 People were murdered in the first 14 days of February 2017.

In addition 12 farm attacks has occurred in the Free State so far in 2017.

In 2017 farm murders was discussed for the first time in parliament. Leader of the Congress of the People (COPE) Mosiuoa "Terror" Lekota became quite angry during the debate and touched a few very valuable points.

Whites in squatter camps

South Africa Today also supports the Mkadesh Farm Project. The project is to help poor Afrikaner families and build homes for them on donated farmland. The families will also farm to become self sustainable.

A new project saw that South Africa Today aided a non profit charity called Boere Gemeenskap Transvaal. Boere Gemeenskap Transvaal charity distributes donations that they collected to 17 squatter camps in the Gauteng province. These squatter camps are mostly made out of poor Afrikaner people. They rely on donations of food, clothes, toiletries and financial donations to support the 17 squatter camps.

Political support

South Africa Today also strives to support Front National (South Africa) with exposure and general news. In addition to Front National, South Africa Today also supports security companies in South Africa like Alpha Alarms with news publications.

Logo change

In July 2016 a new logo for South Africa Today was adopted.

Petition to charge Jacob Zuma

On 13 January 2015 South Africa Today joined forces with Front National and other social media sites in an online petition to prepare for charges against president Jacob Zuma. The crimes include: Hate Speech, Racism, Denial of Basic Human Rights of minorities and Incitement to Genocide. The petition began after Zuma made bold statements at the African National Congress's 103rd birthday celebrations against a certain part (mainly South Africans of European descent) of South Africa's population. These statements include “Jan van Riebeeck’s arrival in Cape Town was the beginning of all South Africa’s problems.” President Zuma also said “They fought us wherever they found us.” The word “THEY” is used to exclude or alienate a minority of the population of South Africa purely based on their skin colour. South Africa Today assisted with collecting petition votes which will be handed over to Front National (South Africa) for formal charges against president Jacob Zuma and presented at the ICC International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands and the United Nations in New York. South Africa Today alone collected more than 15000 signatures.
