Whenever farmers are attacked on their farms, or when members of public have problems to be attended to by police officers, they have to put their trust on the integrity of the local police officers.
The South African Minister of Safety and Security now has confirmed that many members of the SAPD cannot be trusted, with the effect that members of the public cannot ask them for help.
Of greater concern is the fact that members of the police who could be corrupt, are involved in the firearm relicensing application process. TAU SA is also very concerned about the fact that some of these corrupt police officers may enter law abiding citizens’ homes to inspect safes, and in this process could gain access to sensitive information, which could be passed on to criminals.
Can the public be blamed for not being too willing to welcome members of the SAPD in their homes?
Gen. Chris Van Zyl of the TLU/SA and Dr. Lets Pretorius speak about the rampant police corruption in South Africa and its effect on White Afrikaaner/Boer farmers.

I returned from a wildlife conservancy in rural Mpumalanga just a little over a year ago today. I spent nine and a half months working in a voluntary capacity as a ranger, and let me tell you, I was hit very hard with the stark reality that white farmers must face every single day in South Africa. Malicious fire starters, drug runners, farm murders, squatters and attacks on myself by vicious mobs to name a few incidents. I love the animals and the landscapes in that country, but sadly, I doubt that I'll ever return to a place of such insanity. Self defense in Suid Afrika? As far as government officials are concerned, you can forget about it! The white man is always the criminal, no matter the circumstance! If it weren't for the surrounding farming community coming to our aid on numerous occaisions (well armed I might add), I might have been hacked up with pangas and used for muti or seasoning in some sickos bushman tea! Every farmer in that area is so demoralized at this point, they are ready to pack up and move to other countries. What does that mean for the country as a whole? They may as well say goodbye to their food production infrastructure. Black subsistence farmers who end up claiming the land sure as heck won't be contributing to the market in any substantial capacity. Good luck South Africa! I wish you well!
