Farm Attacks

So I am giving the Opera news reader another chance and this is the 'report' on the murder of Wynand Breedt.
Below is verbatim.

"According to police, the confrontation occured around 22:30. A 45-year-old staff was create quite with a gunfire wound to his chest.

Police are next up on leads in series to fetch individuals liable to book

While the niceties surrounding the shooting are nontheless emerging, it is thought that Breedt and his partner, John Sinclaire, were out and at home to the rear at the plow around 22:00

As he (Sinclaire) opened the door, a operate stood in the entry with a gun sharp at him. He slammed the access closed.

Van Dalen other that it is uncertain I beg your pardon? happened between the time that Sinclaire create a chap in the quarters to after he sup up Breedt's body, but that Breedt was before now deadly with a gun blast wound to his chest once his dead body was discovered"
 
Heartbreaking.

Condolences to the families and friends affected. :(

OT: Is it common to have a farm at such a young age? Most of the farm murder victims are usually much older. Unless they inherited it like @zulucat. Or they were living on the farm with other people? Or maybe the husband is the farm owner and he is much older? But her first child was born when she was 18 so I’m not sure. Anyway, was just surprised to see such a young victim.

*there’s probably going to be that one person who reads something else into this.

It depends really. You can own a smallholding, inheritance or purchase one... a rental is also an option... Family Trusts, etc.

Farm murder rocks Midlands

Pregnant mom killed in Weenen knife attack

THE farming community in Weenen is reeling after attackers slit the throat of three-months pregnant Zakiyya Ahmedjan Ismail (26) at the family’s cattle farm on Saturday evening.

A family spokesperson, who wished not to be named, yesterday confirmed to The Witness that masked attackers made their way into the farm house through the kitchen. When Ismail’s husband, Ayoob (31), heard the noise he went to check and they pounced on him and demanded cash at knifepoint.

He tried to fight them off but they overpowered him. The attackers kicked the children, who are three and nine years old, and put them in one of the bedrooms.

“They dragged her [Ismail] into the bathroom and slit her throat. My brother is not badly injured but he’s obviously very shaken by the whole thing,” he said.

Ismail was buried yesterday morning.

KZN provincial police spokesperson Captain Nqobile Gwala said the Weenen SAPS were investigating a case of murder. “Nothing was taken from the house,” she said.

Chairperson of the Weenen Farmers’ Association Shane Reynolds said the area had not had any farm violence for more than a year but they had been observing similar attacks around the province and the country.

“This incident really hit home. The whole community is very shaken up by it, especially the brutality of it. You see these incidents happening elsewhere and it’s always concerning but this brings it right to our doorstep. We are all grieving with the family. They’ve been part of this community for a long time,” said Reynolds.

Sandy la Marque, the chief executive of the KwaZulu-Natal Agricultural Union (Kwanalu), also extended her condolences to the Ismail family.

She said there were two other farm attacks reported in province over the weekend but fortunately there were no fatalities. The incidents were in Bishopstowe and KwaDukuza.

Lots of people rent out renovated farm houses to people that does not necessarily even work on or for the farm.

There are also times where people rented a small part of the farmer's land as there was already infrastructure etc.

And no, nothing read into your initial question.

You don't know whether it's a proper farm or smallholding some also call farms. Don't know whether they own it, rent it or just live there.
The husband is 31, my mate had a small holding at that age but paying the bank so not really his.

The victims house is not 'fancy',

Yes it was the wording from the News24 article which implied that it was her farm.

A pregnant KwaZulu-Natal woman had her throat slit during a home invasion at her farm in Weenen, KwaZulu-Natal, this weekend, police said on Sunday.

But the article fulcrum posted clarified it was a family farm.

It doesn't seem so, but nobody knows what these criminals wanted. What have been established is that the livestock syndicates do indeed target the people on these properties as well, why, only they know why.

Attacks on rural properties are on the increase since last year, slowed down during the movement restrictions and have picked up now.
 
Many farms now have managers, you farm for someone.
You grew up on your dad’s farm study agriculture but there is no farm to inherit ( two sons one farm ), so you become a McCain/Wollies/green giant farmer.
You are the farmer, but it’s not your land you earn a salary like all the workers.

Families tend to manage their own, especially those who trade in livestock (cattle as with this case), but many other sources or appoint their expertise. Corporations can appoint many, when I used to work in agriculture we would have as many as 12 on one property.

No racism here, only whites can be racist. Farm attacks are just robberies, nothing to get excited about...

These ****en useless pieces of human excrement can call for murder openly on social media but God forbid someone calls them a name or implies that they behave like primates then all hell breaks loose.

One of these wonderful human beings even tagged Herman Mashaba in their tweets, two guesses what will happen with them.
