I don't know who is funding this meme, but the factoids are too cookie cutter to not be orchestrated somehow.
That '50 murders' stat ignores the fact that 30 of the victims are still blacks.
The claims of seizing all white owned farms and businesses, is a deliberate conflation with Idi Amin in Uganda decades ago.
The immense poverty is based on the fact that as black people have moved from 70 - 80% under the poverty line to 50% in the middle class, a large number of white people who were living comfortably on government 'apparatchik' checks have lost them and have no marketable skills. After world revulsion at the images of apartheid tanked the economy, it is finally returning to stability.
The genocide against whites never happened, but now Storm Front is full of fake shock at SA 'necklacing'.
Necklacing is when the white police would handcuff a black man, and put burning tires around his head... for fun, or to send a message. After apartheid, there were many calls for revenge in kind, like the Mau-Mau in the 50s Congo. One of the people to answer that call was Winnie Mandela and her criminal gang. Nelson turned his back on any such revenge pogrom (and ultimately on his wife) to keep the country whole.
And the rest of the swarm of lies such as death squads, playboy life style, and socialist allegiances to launch terrorist attacks the West, seem to have come directly from the script of a fictional movie that put a Robert Mugabe like dictator (Zimbabwe), into an imaginary SA.

So no one's perfect but is South Africa worse off or better off now than it was under apartheid?
According to someone I know who lives there it's much worse. She tells me that under apartheid they at least had basic law and order. Now she says the crime situation is horrible, some of it quite heinous. *Hectic* is what she calls it, in other words she says you have to pay attention almost everywhere so as not to become a crime victim because it's not just confined to certain neighborhoods. There are 3 races that pretty much hate each other, whites, blacks (pure African ancestry), and colored(mixed black with white or other races). According to her DaddySatyr is correct, whitey doesn't fair so well these days in South Africa. In her opinion blacks and coloreds have it worse now than under apartheid.
She's white I presume.
Crime was always rampant in the black ghettos. Violence was common and the OSS used violence to intimidate the blacks. Blacks committed little violence against whites because a black caught in a whites area was subject to imprisonment and/or death.
I presume you're implying since she's white she must be looking at things from a racist perspective.
From the book, Into the Cannibal's Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa by Ilana Mercer,
“When South Africa was governed by a racist white minority, it was scorned by the West and treated as Saddam Hussein was, with boycotts and sanctions. Now that a racist, black-majority government controls the country; that it is as violent as Iraq, Liberia, or the Congo and rapidly becoming another Islamist-friendly, failed African state, it is the toast of the West.”
"There are more than 50 murders a day. It leads the world in child and baby rapes, to say nothing of adult rapes. The number of white farmers and their families, including children, targeted, brutally tortured and sadistically murdered on their own farms or in their own houses, some 4,000 since apartheid ended in 1994, literally making farming in South Africa the most dangerous occupation in the world. Car-jackings are a daily occurrence with drivers frequently kidnapped and murdered. Commonplace home invasions and robberies force people to live like prisoners in homes protected by walls, electric fences, trained dogs, hired guards, alarm systems, motion detectors inside and out, safe rooms and, if they’re able, weapons – although they’re illegal."
The place is a shit hole just like damn near every other country in Africa. That second paragraph is pretty much how she described it to me and as far worse after apartheid for everyone, especially blacks and those of mixed race.
