South Africa's high violence and land debates clash with Western media views
President Donald Trump's recent interventions on South Africa have been met with outrage in the liberal media, and its 'fact-checking' machinery has been put into overdrive scrutinizing every misstatement or exaggeration of the president. Yet, on the essential issues it is Western audiences who are being misled by progressive journalists whose views are, in turn, dramatically out of step with ordinary South African Africa is a violent society. Since it became a democracy in 1994, over 650,000 South Africans have been murdered. That is more than the number of intentional homicides across the Western world over the same period even though the population of the West approaches 1 billion people while that of South Africa is closer to 60 million. On a per-capita basis, that amounts to a murder rate of around 40 per 100,000 for South Africa, while the global rate is closer to six per 100,000. TRUMP'S CRITICISM OF SOUTH AFRICA'S VIOLENT CRIME CRISIS RECEIVES UNEXPECTED LOCAL SUPPORTIn that already violent climate, armed raids on commercial farmsteads have, over the past three decades, occurred at a multiple of the rate of similar attacks (essentially armed home invasion robberies) across the broader population. In addition, we calculate that roughly 20% of armed raids on farmsteads have resulted in murder as opposed to under 2% for similar attacks elsewhere. We also judge that the rate of attack on Black commercial producers is similar to that faced by their white Black and White South Africans alike live amidst such violence, murderous chant, 'Kill the Boer, Kill the farmer,' that Trump played at length during an Oval Office meeting with his South African counterpart last week, meets with strong popular disapproval locally. An April 2025 poll found that 80% of South Africans either disapprove of the chant, regard it as hate speech or believe that it should be banned. Western audiences may have been told that the chant is purely a metaphorical 'anti-apartheid' song, but it was, in fact, first taught to guerrillas during the armed struggle against White rule in both Rhodesia and South Africa, where farmers were regarded as legitimate military targets. Western audiences are commonly informed that white South Africans, who make up just 7% of South Africa's population, own "three-quarters" of agricultural land whereas black South Africans own just "4%". These figures are misdirection. The bulk of White land holdings are in the arid western half of the country. These are areas where the terrain, climate, and population density is similar to that of Arizona, Nevada, or New Mexico. Across the high rainfall and densely populated east of the country approximately half of land by productive value is in black possession, although not ownership. The reason for this is that the South African government continues to deny individual title across many Black communities preferring instead that land be held by the state or its proxies as a means of social and political control. Granting individual title would significantly shift land ownership patterns. The belief that land ownership patterns, as they are, represent a national crisis might be popular in Western media but is not a view held by South Africans themselves. A recent poll found that top of the list of local concerns was job creation, mentioned by over 20% of respondents as South Africa's single most important challenge. 'Promoting access to land' came far down the list, being mentioned by less than 5% of respondents. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONFinally, a recently enacted piece of expropriation legislation, which has drawn the particular attention of the Trump administration, is not a benign 'eminent domain' measure, as it is presented. It allows any organ of state to seize any kind of property - not just land – for below its market value. A recent poll found that this idea is opposed by just under 70% of South Africans and it is seen as a measure that will be abused by the notoriously corrupt political class. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAt odds with elite opinion in the West the American administration's concerns around violence, property rights, and economic progress in South Africa resonate closely with the concerns of South Africans themselves who are in the main a pragmatic and conservative people sharing in many of the democratic values held dear by Americans.

Flooding victims 'so happy' to finally return home
People who had to move out of their homes and into temporary accommodation due to flooding have been allowed to return home after eight months. Emergency services were called to Bulwer Street in Bootle, Merseyside, on 30 September after water started gushing into people's homes, with many requiring rescue boats to get out safely. It was the second major flooding incident reported on the road in the last 14 years and left dozens of residents effectively homeless as their living spaces became submerged. Some of the residents told the Local Democracy Reporting Service they were glad to be home but worried about the prospect of this happening again in future. "It has happened before, so we kind of knew what to expect, but still, it is a huge shock to have to leave your house when all the sewage water is coming in," said Linda Crilly. "Now that more and more people are back home there is a sense of relief but it's tempered with a bit of caution." She said the response had been "a lot better this time, in the sense that we've had people with contact numbers and names that we can get in touch with if there's been any problems". Sarah, 34, who lives with her 13-year-old daughter Izzy and her guide dog Ronnie, said: "We were living in a hotel for several weeks before we actually got a temporary home, and that was stressful enough, because we were moving from hotel to hotel," she said. She said they were "so happy to be back home but when it rains it does make you worry". Residents held a celebration event on Friday where they presented a representative of the company tasked with the clean-up operation with gifts to thank her for her support. Sarah said Paula Prescott from the Forshaw Group "has been amazing and done so much including giving me a hug", adding that "we'd be lost without her".

Event ends with frantic search for missing child
Welsh RNLI volunteers were called into action after reports that a 12-year-old child had gone missing near the coast. The MAYDAY Picnic funraising event had just finished on Saturday when HM Coastguard tasked the Fishguard crew at 4.07pm. The child had last been seen on rocks at Cwm-Yr-Eglwys, and there were concerns they may have entered the water. Both the all-weather lifeboat Blue Peter VII and the inshore lifeboat Edward Arthur Richardson were launched and began searching the coastline between Dinas Head and Aberfforest. Thankfully, the child was found safe and well by police shortly after the search began and both lifeboats were stood down. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here READ MORE: Huge upgrade to 28 miles of road in Wales finally finishes after 23 years READ MORE: Locked Up: The criminals justice caught up with in May and what happened to them This was the second launch of the week for Fishguard RNLI and a milestone for volunteer crew members Bryn Smith and Florian Caroff, who each took charge of their first callouts after recently qualifying as inshore lifeboat helms. Cedwyn Rogers, volunteer press officer and crew member, said: 'A service launch coming at the end of a fundraising event is a real reminder of the dedication of both our sea-going and fundraising volunteers. 'Without the support of the community, we couldn't do what we do.' The RNLI is reminding the public of its 'Float to Live' advice a simple set of steps that can help save lives in the water. The RNLI regularly reminds people that heading to the coast or out on the water is a great way to have fun and stay active. But if you're not careful, it's a lot easier to get into trouble in the water than you might think. Conditions can change quickly and if you're not prepared, you can easily get caught out. This is what you should do if you find yourself in trouble: 'Float to Live' 1. Relax and try to breath normally 2. Tilt your head back with ears submerged 3. Move your hands and legs to stay afloat 4. It's okay if your legs sink, we all float differently' In a coastal emergency, call 999 in the UK or 112 in Ireland and ask for the Coastguard to contact the RNLI. If you need to contact the RNLI for non-emergency situations, you can call 0300 300 9990 (UK), 01 511 9837 (Ireland), or +44 1202 663234 (from other countries).
