Outspoken TV personality to tackle SA farm murders
UK television personality Katie Hopkins – once known as Britain’s most controversial columnist – is heading to South Africa to report on farm murders‚ which she claims are a result of anti-white ethnic cleansing.
In her career as a journalist‚ Hopkins has attacked Muslims‚ called migrants cockroaches and left two media jobs after controversial statements.
The former talk show host has almost 900 000 Twitter followers.
She writes for Rebel Media‚ a conservative Canadian website‚ with mostly white writers‚ self-described as a fearless source of news‚ opinion‚ and activism that you will not find anywhere else.
South African farmers protested against their lack of safety and farm killings on a day dubbed Black Monday last year.
Hopkins tweeted afterwards she would travel to South Africa to expose #plaasmoorde.
She believes farm murders and the brutality of the attacks are being ignored‚ due to the race of the victims.
Hopkins contacted rights group AfriForum‚ which had put her in touch with farmers‚ deputy chief executive Ernst Roets said.
Asked if AfriForum wanted to be associated with such a controversial character‚ Roets said Hopkins had a large audience and the organisation would welcome any publicity on farm murders.
She was expected in the country this coming weekend or next week‚ he said.
Hopkins has continued to tweet about South African farm attacks and weighed in on the vandalism of H&M stores by EFF supporters in the past few days. In 2015‚ when Donald Trump was campaigning for the American presidency and suggested banning all Muslims coming into the US‚ Hopkins supported him in her columns.
Trump thanked Hopkins on Twitter for her powerful writing on the UK’s Muslim problems‚ describing her as a respected columnist.
Hours after the Manchester bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in May last year‚ she called on Twitter for a “final solution”.
Hopkins tweeted: “22 dead – number rising. Schofield. Don’t you even dare. Do not be a part of the problem. We need a final solution Manchester.”
Her tweet was widely interpreted as alluding to the Nazi description of the final solution – a plan to exterminate Jews.
Hopkins deleted the tweet and claimed the words final solution were an error and she meant a true solution.
She left her job at LBC radio after the tweet. – TimesLIVE
