“She Went To Discover the Truth”: Woman Goes To Find White Crosses To Disprove White Genocide in SA
Fact-Checking the ‘White Genocide’ Narrative: Creator Investigates Mokopane Crosses Monument
A South African content creator undertook a 4-hour journey to Mokopane to investigate claims about the white crosses monument – often cited as “proof” of white genocide. Her findings, shared in a viral video (@DebunkingWhiteGenocideSA), revealed a more nuanced truth behind the controversial site.
Key Discoveries:
- The crosses were erected in 2020 as part of a protest memorializing farm murder victims over two decades – not as evidence of recent mass killings.
- No racial targeting proven: While farm murders occur, independent studies (2000–2015) found no systematic campaign against white farmers.
- Latest crime stats showed no white farm owners killed in the last quarter – victims were Black farmworkers.
Why the Narrative Persists
The creator argued that:
- Political agendas fuel the claim to resist land reform (“When privilege feels like equality, it’s seen as oppression”).
- Economic anxiety drives extremism on both sides, with apartheid beneficiaries fearing loss of advantage.
Public Reaction
Comments reflected SA’s deep divisions:
- “She’s talking facts” – @Clinton_Mannathoko
- “Maybe she should live on a farm” – @Nicolee_Erick_Vanderschyff (critic)
