No, not the same thing More of a case of when white (usually) farmers are attacked the violence and cruelty is excessive compared to what you would expect from normal robberies. Technically its not political, but there is a lot of hate there. Think more along the lines of how racist white Americans sometimes treat those of darker skin tones. As with anything, your mileage may vary depending on where you are in the country. Individual circumstances vary. Those effected may be biased, but they are in a better position to describe their situation, assuming they survived. *edit: I should also mention that yes, it is mostly blown out of proportion. Media will do as media does. And of course there will always be those pushing agendas. South Africa does have a crime rate and perceptions are often skewed depending on upbringing ging and circumstances. Sorry I did not.make this clearer initially. Read surfer dudes reply, and also check context against online resources.
You are of course correct. Especially as stayistics go. Everone has their own experiences and perceptions though. I should have expanded more, but I’m fuck tired from working night shifts. As I mentioned though, your mileage.may vary, and those affected would better be able to explain. I’m lucky in that it has not directly effected me, but then durban is pretty chill. Except when it’s not.
