A vocal activist called for a major shift in how farm violence was reported, arguing that recent events proved crime was a universal crisis rather than a targeted one.

The clip was shared by TikTok user @lindiforchange on 26 April 2026, where it reached 81K views and over 100 comments from viewers who seconded the creator.

Speaking on the KwaZulu-Natal family of seven's murder, who were killed and dumped in a field, the social activist spoke of Afriforum's silence about the incident. She said the Indian family that lived in the Newmark area, near Tugela's death, doesn't suit their white farmers' genocide narrative. She added that days later, another farm killing occurred in KZN.

Discrediting the white genocide narrative

The creator, TikTok user @lindiforchange, asked social media users to share the family's death news so that the world could see how Donald Trump had misled people into thinking it was mainly the Afrikaaners who were targeted in farm killings. She called for the notion of genocide to be defused, saying crime in South Africa affects everyone.

"Even our government is quick to address outside crimes, but it's just another day after this horror happened. Another issue is why do we have no profile of the suspects and convicted suspects? Don't we do profiling in SA?"
