South African farm attacks

The South African farm attacks (Afrikaans: plaasmoorde; "plaas" = farm, "moorde" = murders) are an ongoing trend of violent attacks on farmers in South Africa. Between 1994 and March 2012, there had been 361,015 murders in all of South Africa and between 1990 and March 2012, there had been 1,544 murders on South African farms of which 208 of the victims were black. In January 2015, AfriForum reported that there has been an increase in farm attacks and murders in the previous five years.

A spike in violent attacks on farmers in February 2017 led to one of the country's largest prayer meetings being held on the 22-23 April 2017 in Bloemfontein, attracting over one million participants.
