I understand the DM narrative is that all farmers is racist - even a small dairy farmer in the Swiss Alps. But please
" it has been unable to protect them from neighbourhood racists." Without balanced reporting this may just be someone enforcing a legal right to water, water reticulation or land legally purchased.
Example.
We bought a water right from our local scheme for a few R100,000. But we do allow some of the community to collect water and wash laundry in the canal. These people live on a plot owned by a black man - and he does not provide any water for all the tenants, but collects the rent. Yes the fountain belongs to the people (viva communism), but only some of the people maintains the infrastructure to get the water 3km closer. We can charge them money, because we are racist farmers you know. But we do not.
