BBC accused of downplaying white farmer killings in South Africa

The BBC has been accused of downplaying the killings of white farmers in South Africa in its reporting.

Robert Hersov, an influential South African businessman, criticised the broadcaster as “Leftist” and “woke” in its coverage of the issue, which rejected Donald Trump’s claims of a genocide.

Mr Hersov said the broadcaster “should be disbanded”, adding: “There is no nuance in their coverage – they are just Leftist.”
