Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.
This is the fifth floor at the heart of global storytelling with BBC journalists from all around the world.
I'm your host, Farnak Amiti.
In February,
American President Donald Trump signed an executive order which said that South African people who are Africaners descendants of mainly Dutch settlers who arrived in the 17th century could be admitted as refugees in the USA
as they were victims of unjust racial discrimination.
President Trump's move to prioritize resettlement of white South African farmers reignited global controversy when he referenced widely disputed claims of forced appropriation of land and what he has described as a genocide against white farmers.
Claire Mawisa is a reporter for BBC Africa Eye.
She recently travelled to meet some farmers in South Africa.
I asked her how common violence and murders on farms are.
Murders on farms are not a common thing in South Africa.
We understand that and we accept that the crime rate and the murder rate in South Africa is very high.
So around 60 people in South Africa are murdered on a daily basis.
And just to give you some stats is that from October 2024,
so last year October to March this year, there were 18 murders on farms.
