The minority rights group is backed by a powerful new report.
The US State Department's Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labour has released findings stating that these attacks are not “ordinary crimes.”

The report cites disturbing cases of victims being tortured or murdered with nothing else stolen. This suggests a motive beyond simple robbery.
With international pressure mounting, AfriForum is now calling on President Ramaphosa to declare these crimes a national priority and take immediate action.
