I'm not entirely certain what your point is. I do believe It's a big issue, but when it's covered by Southern and her ilk with hyperbolic excess, it makes it easier for people to dismiss it. It is also true that they are a small part of the total murders in SA, making the problem larger than just "white genocide." There are a lot of injustices in the world, and I don't solely concern myself with the ones happening to white people.
My personal solution has been to write my senators and rep asking them to do look into the problem. If you have some proof drama whores on YouTube or writing vitriolic posts on this forum will help the people getting murdered, then I'll consider it. Otherwise you might consider that some people making noise about the problem help others ignore it. That includes the like of Southern and Alex Jones.
My point is that it's not clear Southern or her ilk has covered it with hyperbolic excess, and that the people saying so make very weak arguments. Tim Pool summarizes her documentary as accurate and states he fact checked it, and says it is the story from one point of view, the farmers, but it is an accurate documentary.
The notion that the government of South Africa should do something about land reform is quite reasonable, but the notion that people can ignore certain murders because they are small in number is abhorrent and not the mark of a civilized democracy.
I follow Claire Voltaire, but like many people, she is still "guilty" herself of virtue signalling, so I take what she says with a grain of salt.
As Pool says, looking at reddit, and I looking at twitter, for some reasons the powers that be really want to suppress the story, but they are not making good arguments as to why. They are mainly relying on ad hominem (Southern is a Nazi Belle) and bad logic (the problem is so small we should ignore it)

And Claire Voltaire and reddit and twitter and the news.
