Twelve Afrikaner farmers seek spouses on TV

...Has Mnet's Kyknet-TV in South Africa gone completely insane -- or was this just a 'drunk-moment decision'? Farming is the most dangerous occupation in criminal gang-ruled South Africa... and their "Farmer seeks Spouse' programme is thus leading lambs to the dreadful slaughter on SA farms, where more than 2,980 white farmers have already been murdered since 1994....- http://groups.msn.com/crimebustersofsouthafrica/farmattacks.msnw

KIEPERSOL - This handsome, rugged Lowveld farmer, Joachim Prinsloo, 27 who runs the family farm 'Oudewerf,' is one of the twelve finalists in the 'Farmer Seeks Spouse' reality-tv programme on the Afrikaans-TV station Kyknet.

This programme - directly copied from the hugely popular Dutch version which resulted in several successful marriages -- aims to find spouses for young, busy, single farmers who don't have much opportunity to make friends on the platteland...
Dutch "Boer Zoekt Vrouw" programme:

However -- what makes this Afrikaans programme so much more dangerous than the Dutch one, is the extreme danger under which Afrikaner farm families have to survive in South Africa.
Not only are they facing Zimbabwe-style farm invasions, illegal land-confiscations by the Mbeki-regime, and will also have to do battle with armed cattle-rustling gangs during their farming-lives -- but more than 2,980 white farmers, family members and -workers have already been murdered in tens of thousands of armed attacks this past decade. And most of the murder, rape and assault victims were Afrikaners, these records being maintained by journalists on the website of Crime Busters of South Africa show.
Many examples can be found here:

During these attacks -- carried out with military precision by heavily-armed black male gangs who often do not steal anything valuable -- the white victims are often gang-raped, mutilated and tortured to death in extremely violent acts of revenge - such as can be seen on this extremely gruesome video - which we do not recommend for sensitive or young viewers:

Joachim was among the twelve finalists elected from more than 200 entries and two of his co-contestants are female-farmers.
Will all these candidates who are going to feature on this reality-tv programme during their visits to these spouse-seeking farmers, ever be made aware of the dangerous working and living conditions they will be exposed to on SA farms?
Or will Mnet - which broadcasts this programme - just pretend that there's nothing whatsoever to worry about?
