Farm Attacks

ʼn Man van Rhenosterspruit, naby Lanseria, is Maandag wreed in sy huis
met ʼn stuk hout doodgeslaan.

Izak Pieters, voorsitter van die plaaslike AfriForum-buurtwag, het aan
Maroela Media gesê Johan Le Roux is vermoedelik tussen 12:00 en 13:00 in
sy huis op ʼn plaas in die bewaringsgebied deur vier verdagtes oorval en
vermoor. Sy vrou het glo op sy liggaam afgekom.

Volgens Pieters het die aanvallers, ʼn vrou en drie mans, verskeie
waardevolle items uit die huis gesteel en met Le Roux se twee voertuie
gevlug. Een van die voertuie is Dinsdagoggend glo verlate in Lenasia gevind.

Die toegang na die bewaringsgebied word met ʼn valkhek beheer, maar
enigiemand kan glo ingaan. Die polisie het na bewering reeds ʼn vermoede
wie die aanvallers is en is besig om beeldmateriaal na te gaan om hul
identiteit te bevestig.

Volgens Pieters is drie verdagtes intussen in verband met die voorval in
hegtenis geneem. Maroela Media het sedert Maandagaand probeer om
inligting van die polisie te kry, maar wag steeds op kommentaar.

This week we've heard that Farm attacks are going to be prioritised by the SAPS. Well, later , over one of the Whatsapp Security groups for the farmers a message came "We're going to kill all you farmers". They went to lay charges at the police office, and the officers wouldn't do it.
 
I wonder why the govt is not protecting farmers. I mean rarely do the perpetrators face the long arm of the law.

Community stands against farm attacks

FOLLOWING the brutal murder of Billy Van Rooyen and his father in law Ronnie Lombard, the community members of Zwathi took to the streets saying ‘enough is enough’.

These members of the ward 4 community headed down to the Gluckstadt Police Station to hand over a memorandum regarding their concerns over the rise in crime in their area.

The main issue raised in the memorandum was that of the killing of farmers, which in turn has a negative influence on the community’s infrastructure as many of those working on the farms lose their jobs.

The murder of farmers also leads to the shutting down of businesses and in the end it is the community at large that suffers.
