So after nearly a quarter of a century of foot-dragging by the ANC government over the land issue, whites still own almost all farmland in South Africa? Yet there've been klaxons screaming about an "imminent white genocide" ever since 1994... However you might view the prospect of heavy-handed evictions, it's still pretty fucking far off "kill every white person", and idiots who claim it shows the government's on a knife-edge of mass genocide are actually doing white landowners no favours, because principled opposition to the stupidity, cynicism and injustice of the farm seizures policy gets buried beneath all the bullshit hyperbole. For Chrissake, even anti-apartheid activists who attacked the (far bigger) forced removals of black South Africans under the National Party regime never made the stupid claim that it was the first step on the road to "killing all black people".

Eh, idk. I'm not claiming to be an expert on the subject in regards to South Africa, but the situation doesn't feel right and seems a little like something someone could say in March 1994 about "see, decades of majority rule and there's no mass slaughter of Tutsi by the Hutu in Rwanda."

It doesn't help allay that feeling when Mandela's wife was way more into anti-white farmer rhetoric than he was when she was alive, similar to how the wife of the Hutu President who got a ceasefire with the RPF and got shot down was a big supporter of the interhamwe herself.
