Farm Attacks

You should be careful of those tik koppe. I sometimes see them walking around with back packs and the metal they stole or broke off is sticking out of it. They don't even attempt to hide it. Best to stay as far away from them as possible, the few times people have tried to knock me off the bike has always been the tik koppe returning from their early morning looting. On our farm they have gradually carried away all the metals bits from two of our sprayers that stand at the back of a barn. We did not notice it until recently, the barn is locked at night so this took place during the day. Worst thing is that these tik koppe are staying on the farm but no one does anything about it.

You could actually see on the video that thing wasn't all there, he looked a bit unstable even. And that fence is still not finished.
 
Farm murder rate lowest in 20 years, 'remoteness' the reason for brutality

Farm murders have decreased to their lowest level in more than 20 years, a report by agricultural organisation AgriSA has found.

Despite controversial statements from organisations such as AfriForum and right-wing doomsday preppers Die Suidlanders that farm attacks and farm murders were out of control, AgriSA's figures, which are based on police statistics, its own research and media reports, show a slight increase in farm attacks.

I actually wonder if I would have been in **** for running the MF over if I could. Just wondering, not sure if I would have the heart to do it. Those that knows the law, would I be in crap for doing something like that?

You accidentally ran him over, not expecting anyone to be on your property, also the sun blinded you a bit as it was rising, THAT'S your story and you stick to it!

Of course your accident had better kill him else he'll tell a different story to yours ...

Not really, for starters they're using a dodgy source:

And how the hell does remoteness explain the brutality? "Hey look at me I'm a murderer, in the city I'll just kill you quick, but on the farm I'm gonna torture you, because it is remote" ... :wtf:

They torture their victims because they believe they're hiding more than what they're offering.

Doesn't explain the apparent higher chance of torture in farm attacks vs other attacks. That reason would hold true no matter where the attack took place.

It does. Thugs generally believe farmers, especially white farmers, have more valuables and guns. Couple it with element of revenge whether the thugs are ex employees then you have this.

I'll say it again.. if a killer is into odd fancies with torture and target ubran areas.. well then you also want to be caught. The serial killers & rapists you need be scared of are often working on the far boundary of urban areas and rural areas as the number of victims they go through is a lot larger. I think the exposes on rape cases in SA show this trend often.

Here we go again. Do you have a non-dodgy source then?

I don't have to provide a better source in order to criticize an unreliable source. SAPS specifically (some might say deliberately) altered the way they record these stats which made it impossible to properly categorize these attacks.

Then there's also the years in-between where they simply didn't publish any crimes stats at all.

Lastly, do you trust the average policeman to record facts properly in this country? Because that's where these stats begin ...

Those factors combined make me VERY skeptical of the accuracy of the numbers. No I don't have a better source, I do know that this source is k@k.

Pretty much.
The cops have faked crime statistics before. It's nothing new -there are news articles about this.
Their statistics can't be trusted.

Crime biggest threat to agriculture after drought: AgriSA

https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/so...t-threat-to-agriculture-after-drought-agrisa/

Crime is the biggest threat to sustainable agriculture in South Africa apart from drought and is contributing to farmers leaving the industry.

That is what agricultural industry body AgriSA wrote in their Farm Safety Report for June this year‚ which was released on Thursday.

AgriSA wrote in a report in May that farm murders were at their lowest in the last 19 years. In the report they used the police crime statistics that showed 47 people were murdered on farms in 2017/18 and there were 561 farm attacks.

The year with the highest recorded number of farm murders was 1997/98 when 153 people were murdered. The number of recent farm attacks has almost halved from the highest recorded number of attacks in a single year which was 1‚069 in 2001/02.
