Limpopo farmer David Rakgase, who was recently embroiled in a legal battle over the ownership of the farm with the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, is facing another challenge.

Part of the 3 000-hectare farm in Northam has been illegally occupied.

More than 40 shacks have been built there and the occupiers have put padlocks on the gate that leads to the part of the farm they have occupied.

Rakgase told News24 that the occupiers have indicated that they will not leave the property.

He said several pleas to the government for help to remove them were not heeded. He believes the illegal occupation was another strategy to force him out of the property.

"This came as the legal battle with land authorities intensified with a court case. I contacted the government several times but there was no help.

"I believe they are paying rent to someone else. The government is not helping despite that I continue to pay my rental to it," Rakgase said.

However, the DA helped him to take his case to court. This was after he met a DA land and agriculture shadow minister at a farmers' day in Northam.

Those damn racists...

To many it's not actually race war, it's class war... death to the Kulaks. Almost everyone educated and black seems so brainwashed they don't realise the unwashed masses are at some point gonna try and kill anyone above them regardless of race, the whites are becoming so insular that increasingly they only see tribally..... it's not a tribal problem.

Let them come, they will find they are not the only ones able to wield a weapon and they will bleed rivers of blood.

I remember when that lion kept escaping... the farmers refused to help catch him because overnight stock theft levels plummeted, a few eaten now and then was essentially a fee for a private contractor working security.
