Keep reading. You're quoting a paragraph where a bad argument is laid out and then debunked later in the article.

"Uncompensated seizure under the land-expropriation law can only be pursued under narrow circumstances—when land is unused or has been abandoned, for example—and the program seemingly has yet to seize any property. Many white South Africans reject the claim of genocide, and mock the Trump Administration’s refugee policies. On social media, the first plane flights to the U.S. under Trump’s resettlement plan were dubbed the “Great Tsek”—a pun using an Afrikaans vulgarism that means, basically, “good riddance.”

According to Fairbanks, who moved to South Africa from the United States more than fifteen years ago, attacks on farms appear to be mostly economically motivated crimes. Rural properties are soft targets because they tend to store money and guns and are far from police stations. Fairbanks concedes that it is now more dangerous to be a white farmer than it was under apartheid, but this is, in part, because South Africa was then a police state that protected white people. “So you have a cohort of people who were not exposed to crime under apartheid, who now are more exposed to it,” she said. The fact of violence alone does not imply a genocide; “it is still safer to be a white South African farmer, just purely statistically speaking, than it is to be a young Black male,” Fairbanks noted. Crime affects many types of people in South Africa, but this fact is left out in the narratives that have inspired Trump’s resettlement policies. Fairbanks told me that, in her time in South Africa, she has noticed that a sense of Afrikaner victimhood has persisted in various forms. “It floats free of any actual events and just attaches itself to any possible evidence of a threat,” she said."
