Figure 21: Farm murders per week during 2010 (The weeks in which Malema sang ‘Shoot the Boer’ are all indicated in red.)81

What is particularly interesting about the year 2010 is that not a single farm murder took place during South Africa’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup in June that year – an event that was organised and packaged by the South African government to present South Africa to the international community as a fantastic tourism destination. In fact, only one farm attack could be verified during the entire month in which the event took place. This, despite the fact that there had been about two farm attacks per day on average over the previous 18 years.

An abrupt suspension of farm attacks as decisive as was evident during the 2010 FIFA World Cup has never happened since 1990. What is more peculiar is that this followed immediately on a very clear increase in farm attacks and farm murders and that the murders continued in even higher numbers immediately after the conclusion of the event. It is reasonable to ask what sort of power is required to bring about a nationwide cessation of farm attacks of this magnitude. Where is the tap that can be closed, as was evidently done during the FIFA World Cup? And what should be done to close it?

These questions remain unanswered.
