Johannesburg - A North West farmer has been arrested for allegedly assaulting seven workers at his farm near Lichtenburg, police said on Wednesday.

The farmer allegedly assaulted the workers on Tuesday, Lieutenant Colonel Lesego Metsi said.

"They alleged he assaulted them with a blunt object," he said.

The farmer was arrested on Tuesday on seven charges of assault with the intention to cause grievous bodily harm.

He was expected to appear in the Lichtenburg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Not linked to Terre'Blanche murder

Metsi said the assault was not linked to the murder of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) leader Eugene Terre'Blanche.

"There is no reason to suggest that the assault might be linked to the murder of Mr Terre'Blanche."

Terre'Blanche was killed on his farm outside Ventersdorp, allegedly by two of his farm workers on Saturday night, over what police said was a pay dispute.

Good. If you are not defending your life there is no need for violence.

Trying to get people of the ET and Village idiot subject. Did not work.
And I do not want to be accused of only posting about black on white violence.
I could have posted about the grade 12 student shot through his window for his laptop.

Besides find good news.

Mister Gwede Mantashe himself complained that nobody seemed to be interested in this case. Suddenly the newspapers are picking up on it.

Man, anyone would think the media was dancing to the ANC's tune...

One guy taking on seven? He must have super powers....

Something doesn't make sense.

I told you farmers are strong people.
I farmer takes on 7 farmworkers? Must be a record of some sort.
The guy should qualify for some medal, don't you think?
7 against 1? LOL! Those 7 could not beat the living daylights out of one farmer?

LOL!
No wonder they did not want to pick up on it. This farmer had superhuman power. Farmers are dangerous when upset. Ask any farmer.

Is this guy Superman? Seriously 7 people waiting in line to get beat up sounds like a joke. Haven't they heard of strength in numbers?

LOL!
Obviously he was not sleeping. I wonder how ET would have fared was he awake.

 

[Na-iem]

The title is almost more informative than the entire article.

We are not allowed to be like that then we are racists. So we say yay. A white guy is in prison.

Viva! People like that have no place in society and even less place in charge of other people.

As for those of you gaping @ "7 people!" take into consideration that not everyone is violent and most people tend to cower when they're being beaten and don't fight back. So its hardly surprising.

Haven't they heard of RUNNING?
Story sounds fishy to me

It is racist to refer to somebodies race in a news article. If not racist, then politically incorrect.
A guy is in prison. Would it be sexist to say guy? Maybe it should read a person is in a correctional facility.

Never been given a hiding by your father? You can run, sure, but you'll have to face him again eventually. In their case, it's their wages, and they're probably used to it. Maybe they've just had enough?

*shrug*

The farmer will receive a trial and he'll be judged there. For now, I'm basing my opinion on the information given in the article and the fact that it wouldn't surprise me.

I'm not standing around to get beaten up with a blunt object...

Maybe it did not occur on one day. Maybe this was over a period of time... but then why would you go back..
