The broad definition is from the 1948 United Nations Convention:

Especially this one can be applied to many things:
c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
> intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group
In this situation, it's specifically about farmers(large scale private landowners). The nature of them being targeted isn't purely because they're white, but that they hold 3/4 of the privately owned land in SA and likely wield that privilege and power.
Oh sure, my comment was addressing the general issue of perceived "genocide inflation". I have no knowledge about SA.
