Killing of farmers on their farms has become a serious problem in South Africa.

Earlier, when protesters scheduled the demonstration dubbed the Black Monday Protest, the pan-Africanist and revolutionary socialist political party urged South Africans to not take part in the protest.

Its reason was that “white farmers are racist, cruel land thieves” and deserve to be killed.

The movement further said that “It’s a lie to say white farmers feed the nation. Half the South African population is without food security. White farmers poison the nation with GMOs. They produce for profit and don’t care for the health of the nation.”

During the protest, a truck driver allegedly drove into the demonstrators injuring three people, two of whom were in heart stopping states and were rushed to a local hospital for medical attention.

However, rather than sympathizing with the victims, the pan-Africanist and revolutionary socialist political party, BFL has saluted the driver for what he did, saying he was Godsent.

BLF said in a statement that “(We acknowledge) the revolutionary act of the truck driver who… rammed into a settler colonialist racist protest of Afriforum, Democratic Alliance (DA) and white monopoly capital (WMC).

“Such an act shows that our people will not fold their arms when those who stole our land look down upon us, abuse us and undermine our very existence. The truck driver’s actions, intention notwithstanding, are revolutionary….”

“We salute the driver and insist that he must be protected, he was just doing the work of God,” BFL stated.
