Reminds me on a rural safety briefing I watched.

Pains were taken to point out be careful of some of these f-ers.... they are extremely vengeful and there have been murders for the most extremely petty reasons.

If he wasn't fired, then he wouldn't have seeked revenge - is that not how this argument works?
 
Brutal farm attack near Mbombela leaves victims reeling

A family was recently attacked on a farm in Mara near Mbombela by five armed men.

As Ansie Nel sat bound next to her badly bruised 84-year-old mother, Miemie du Toit, and domestic worker, Sophie Mpila, a man armed with a gun told her he would cut her fingers off one by one until she told him where the safe was.

Nel had been in her kitchen on a farm in Mara just outside Mbombela on Friday March 11, when five armed men stormed her house and overpowered her at about 13:00.

Her husband, Hendrik, was still working out on the farm at this time.

“They came into the kitchen, held a gun to my head, grabbed a knife from me, held it to my side and told me to be quiet. One of the men said he had killed before and would do it again,” Ansie said.

Farmer, 76, murdered, wife tied up

An elderly man lost his life after agreeing to sell animal feed to men who arrived at his Delmas, Mpumalanga farm, even though he was initially reluctant because it was Sunday.

The attackers allegedly strangled and killed Gustav Rappard, 76, then went into the house where they tied up his wife and ransacked the house.

They got away with nothing except the couple’s cellphones.

A search for the suspects has been launched.

“The suspects should be hunted down and brought to book within a short time. It is a disgrace that suspects target defenceless victims,” said Mpumalanga police commissioner Lt-Gen Semakaleng Daphney Manamela.

Calls for farm attacks to be prioritised after woman killed outside Moorreesburg

Cape Town - The murder of a pensioner and serious injury to her husband on a farm just outside Moorreesburg have thrust farm murders back into the spotlight, with calls for them to be prioritised.

Sixty-nine year old Frans Koch and his wife, Ingrid, were attacked while visiting their son at Klipheuwel Farm on Tuesday.


Initial police reports stated that the Kochs were found with multiple stab wounds.

The police arrested one suspect who is expected to appear in court once charged.

Several organisations, activists and political parties called for more to be done to ensure the safety of people living on and visiting farms across the country.

DA member of Parliament, Andricus van der Westhuizen, called on the police to deal with the matter decisively so the perpetrator could be brought to book. He said rural communities across the country were under siege due to heinous acts of violence.

“Rural communities are at great risk of crime due to their isolation from police stations.

“Police Minister Bheki Cele has not shown any sign of remorse for the plight of farmers and farmworkers. He has failed to properly implement the rural safety plan, which requires greater special police resources,” Van der Westhuizen said.
