Free State Farmers angry, upset and worried about murder of Jan de Kock, 69, on Petrus Steyn farm:
TOM DE WET EN JANA SMIT - Volksblad: Dinsdag 15 Julie 2014 PETRUS STEYN. – Die moord op Jan de Kock, gesiene boer van die distrik, het die gemeenskap geruk. Medeboere is kwaad, ontsteld en hartseer, ander vind dit moeilik om hul emosies in woorde uit te druk.
Almal is dit egter eens – daar moet meer gedoen word om boere se veiligheid te verseker en onbesonne uitsprake wek kommer.
Op De Kock se plaas was elke moontlike veiligheidsmaatreël in plek. Nogtans het drie aanvallers hom Sondagoggend in die pakhuis op sy plaas oorval, met binddraad vasgebind en vermoor. Sy vrou, Marietjie, is in die badkamer in die huis toegesluit.
Die moordenaars het met sy bakkie, verskeie vuurwapens, kontant en selfone gevlug.
Dan Kriek, president van Vrystaat Landbou wat self in die omgewing boer, sê hy was Sondag op die plaas om sy meegevoel te betuig.
“Dit is die werk van lafhartige boosdoeners wat ons hoop gou vasgetrek sal word.
“Dit maak ons net meer vasbeslote om ons landelike beveiligingsplan provinsiaal en nasionaal in werking te stel en saam met die polisie te dryf.”
Gerhard Gouws, veiligheidskoördineerder vir Petrus Steyn, sê baie boere is negatief.
Dit is ’n groot en hartseer ding wat hier gebeur het. Uit my oogpunt kan ek wel met eerlikheid sê dat ek goeie samewerking van die polisie kry.”
Gerrie Benade, buurman en een van die eerste mense Sondagoggend op die plaas Groot Waag, sê boere is ontsteld en opgewerk.
“Jy doen alles om jou plaas so veilig moontlik te maak, maar jy weet nooit wanneer dit jou beurt is nie.”
Hy sê die gebeure twee weke gelede, toe by De Kock se buitekamers ingebreek, vleis gesteel en sy honde vergiftig is toe hy nie tuis was nie, moes vir almal ’n aanduiding gewees het van wat kom.
Die betreders het toe vleis gebraai in dieselfde pakhuis waar De Kock Sondag vermoor is.
Chris Nel, ’n boer van die distrik, sê hulle besef dit is ’n onbegonne taak om die meer as 60 boere in die distrik te beskerm.
“Jou huis kan so veilig wees as wat moontlik is, maar as hulle jou buite inwag, is jy weerloos.”
Japie Oosthuizen, voorsitter van die Riemland-boerevereniging in die buurdorp Reitz, sê die plaasaanvalle die afgelope tyd hier maak hulle bekommerd.
“Dit voel of jy enige oomblik ’n teiken kan wees.”
Hy sê hy vermoed die voorvalle kan verband hou met die radikale uitsprake oor grondhervorming. “Die feit dat hulle 50% van plase wil hê . . . dit is asof hulle die land wil verlam.
“Paraatheid is die enigste manier vir boere om hulself te beskerm.
“Maar wat kan jy doen as jy in ’n lokval gelei word? Geen mens kan 24 uur per dag op jou hoede wees nie.”
Hennie Gerber, hoof van Landelike Beveiliging, sê samewerking en pro-aktiwiteit moet die motto wees, maar misdaad kan nóóit 100% voorkom word nie.
Jan van Niekerk, provinsiale leier van die VF+, sê die regering neem nie behoorlik standpunt in teen plaasaanvalle nie en laat sekere rassistiese uitsprake, wat Julius Malema maak, toe. Dit veroorsaak spanning.
Hy sê hulle veroordeel elke plaasaanval, of dit teen ’n wit of swart boer is.
Wouter Wessels, Vrystaatse VF+-LP, sê die moord op De Kock is bewys dat die Vrystaatse LUR vir polisie, paaie en vervoer verkeerd is wanneer hy sê dat landelike beveiliging werk en daar geen krisis bestaan nie.
“Dié soveelste plaasaanval in die Vrystaat bewys dat hierdie misdaad as ’n prioriteit geklassifiseer moet word.”

July 13 2014: Afrikaner farmer Jan de Kock murdered on his Petrus Steyn farm Sunday 13 July 2014, confirms SAPS spokesman: Facebook page: fb.me/6AGbWb13t
Awaiting more details.
(Afrikaans on Boere Krisis Aksie)
Petrus Steyn. – Die hulpkrete van ’n boervrou, vasgebind in haar huis se badkamer, het bure na haar gelei waar hulle moes hoor dat haar man vermoor in die pakhuis lê.
Jan de Kock (69) van die plaas Groot Waag se lyk was met binddraad aan sy vierwielmotorfiets vasgebind.
Sy vrou, Marietjie, is erg geskok, maar nie beseer nie.
Bure het hulle Sondag na die plaas gehaas nadat De Kock se Ford Ranger-dubbelkajuitbakkie met die sleutels daarin verlate deur die polisie in Vereeniging gekry is.
De Kock is vermoedelik oorval toe hy Sondagoggend na beeste in die spruit wou gaan soek.
Sy aanvallers is met hom terug na die plaashuis waar sy vrou ook oorval en vasgebind is.
Gerrie Benadé, ’n buurman en goeie vriend, het Sondag baie bewoë gesê De Kock was vir hom soos sy eie pa.
Hy het gesê nadat die bakkie opgespoor is, het iemand op die plaas gaan ondersoek instel, maar alles het in orde gelyk.
Benadé het omstreeks 11:30 ’n oproep van ’n polisielid gekry wat bevestig het dat dit wel De Kock se bakkie is wat gekry is.
Hy het met Jan Joubert, hul ander buurman, gepraat en hulle het na die plaas gejaag.
“Daar aangekom het my seun vir my gesê die agterdeur is oop.
“Ek het gedink dit is onmoontlik. As die oom en tannie nie op die plaas is nie, sou hulle nie die agterdeur oopgelos het nie.
“Ons het tannie Marietjie hoor skreeu: ‘Help my, help my!’ waarna ons haar vasgebind in die badkamer gekry het.
“Sy het vir my gesê oom Jan is dood en is in die pakhuis.
“Ek kon hom nie daar kry nie. Tannie Marietjie en oom Jan Joubert is na die voorkant van die skuur waar hulle hom gekry het.”
Hy het gesê daar was jare lank nie ’n plaasmoord in die distrik nie.
Die egpaar se kinders het Sondagmiddag van Gauteng na die plaas gekom.
Sers. Mmako Mophiring, polisiewoordvoerder, het Sondagmiddag gesê die inligting is nog min.
De Kock is volgens die voorlopige ondersoek erg aangerand en het moontlik aan sy beserings beswyk.
Daar was blykbaar drie aanvallers. Die polisie was Sondag tot laat nog op die toneel met die ondersoek besig.
Hy het gesê buiten die voertuig is alleen vuurwapens en selfone gebuit.

Survive: Martin de Kock, press photographer at Die Huisgenoot, robbed by 2 whites after Innibos concert, camera equipment robbed
Afrikaans weekly magazine Huisgenoot photographer Martin de Kock was robbed by two white men of his camera equipment outside #StayEasyHotel after #Innibos concert in Lowveld:
-- Tereasa Ferrari reports http://nelspruitpost.co.za/171873/huisgenoot-photographer-robbed/ -- Two (*white) men have been arrested for stealing camera equipment from Martin de Kock, a photographer for Huisgenoot who was covering the Innibos festival. According to Mr Jacques Meiring the photographer was stranded on the side of the road on Friday morning when two men approached to help him with his vehicle.
He was coming back from the Innibos cultural concert when his vehicle broke down on the side of the road about 500 meters from the Stay Easy hotel where he was staying for the night.
“Two 'decent looking men' came from the direction of the casino and offered to help me. The man named Weston asked me to open my bonnet, his friend then turned and said they need plyers so I opened my boot to see if I had one on me. He must have seen my camera equipment then.”
De Kock said he didnt have plyers in the boot so he closed it and they all moved towards the security guard by the hotel entrance. He said the one man then drove away and when he got to the guard and as talking to him, he turned around, to see the other suspect had vanished.
“I then got an uneasy feeling even though my car was in visible sight all the time. I ran and opened the boot and saw my camera equipment that is valued at around R150 000 was gone.”
Meiring stated that there was CCTV footage of the men as it happened right outside the Stay Easy hotel. He said when the two supposed samaritans left the photographer, they were called in to assist him. He said they had the men identified by the footage as two well known locals by the names of Ulrich and Weston.
Meiring then stated that on Saturday they set up a sting operation when the men tried to sell the camera equipment to a buyer. “We confirmed they had the equipment when they sent a photo of the camera to the alleged buyer. We also showed Martin to make sure it was his.”
“We then tried to lure them to Sonpark but they never arrived and found out they were on their way to Lydenburg.” He said they then tried to negotiate with the men to return the equipment on the basis that the photographer would drop the charges against them but to no avail.
Meiring said he handed over the information to the SAPS whose detectives arrested the one suspect on the Hazyview road.
“The other suspect must have heard his accomplice was arrested as he went to the local police station and handed himself over.”
The two suspects are expected to appear in the Nelspruit Magistrate court shortly. reported on 15 July 2014.

They shot dead Mr Jones in front of his wife, reported the Afrikaans daily on July 17 2014. Nothing was robbed but it was described as a robbery.
---------------
’n Man van Sandton word vandag begrawe nadat rowers hom twee dae ná sy huweliksherdenking voor sy vrou doodgeskiet het.
Dean Jones (35) is Maandag omstreeks 17:00 buite sy huis in ’n kompleks in Isando vermoor.
Kapt. Kym Cloete, polisiewoordvoerder, het gesê twee gewapende mans het op sy vrou, Ismini (38), toegeslaan toe sy by die huis aangekom het.
“Die aanvallers het aan die motorruit gekap.
“Die slagoffer het in trurat probeer kom en haar toeter gedruk.
“Sy het toe by die motorhuis ingery en die aanvallers het haar gevolg.”
Dean het weens die lawaai uit die huis gekom en die aanvallers het hom ten aanskoue van Ismini geskiet.
Die mans is sonder buit daar weg.
Mark Pilgrim, ’n vriend van die egpaar, het op sy webblad geskryf die mans het Ismini na hul huis agtervolg.
“Toe sy by die kompleks ingery het, het die kapers by die hek op haar en die veiligheidswag toegesak en haar motor probeer steel.
“Dean het uit die huis gekom om te sien wat fout is en hulle het hom, sonder huiwering, drie keer geskiet.”
Volgens Pilgrim het die paartjie hul huweliksherdenking twee dae voor Dean se moord gevier. Hulle was vyf jaar getroud.
“Geweld is oral om ons. Ons weet dit. Maar wanneer dit iemand so na aan ons raak, voel ons dit soveel meer,” het Pilgrim gesê.
Die TV-en-radiopersoonlikheid Bailey Schneider, ook ’n vriend van die egpaar, het op haar webblad geskryf dat Dean “te vroeg, so tragies en gewelddadig” van hulle weggeneem is.
Ismini het op Instagram geskryf Dean se roudiens is vandag (17 Julie) 14:00 in die Rosebank Union Church.
Ismini het Dean as haar sielsgenoot beskryf en gevra dat mense in plaas van om blomme te bring eerder ’n skenking aan Santa’s Shoebox doen.

Survives: two-day-old baby Juan Venter suffers burn-wounds at Germiston Hospital two days after birth
Juan Venter - two-day-old baby of poor-white Boksburg parents -- suffers burn-wounds in Germiston Hospital: parents plan to sue -- report by Maroela Media's Phillip Bruwer, 16 July 2014.
- The parents of Juan Venter, who was two days old when he suffered serious burn-wounds from an electric blanket at the "Bertha Goxwa" Hospital in Germiston said the baby was found by the mother on Saturday-morning covered up by a silver blanket. The mother Mariaan Pienaar, 25, said she was stopped by the nurses on Friday-night from putting warm clothes on him. "His hands and feet were icecold and blue. The nurses prohibited me from dressing my own baby, claiming they are only 'allowed to use their own hygienic blankets." The following morning she found Juan covered up beneath a silver heat-blanket. "The blanket was red-hot and when I lifted it there were huge boils on his knees, his toes and his right-arm'. Ms Pienaar said she was very upset and demanded explanations from the doctor and nurses - who offered three different explanations of what could have caused the burn-wounds. "First they told me my child 'was born that way'. That's rubbish, we took his pictures shortly after birth and there were no boils on him. "Then they said 'blood-clots had burst inside his legs' because the baby was suffering septicaemia and bronchitis. The doctor claimed he got the boils from the septicaemia. The staff insisted on keeping the baby in hospital and Ms Pienaar refused to leave without her baby. Two weeks after his birth the wounds turned black - and then she was transferred to the Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, which has a specialised mother-and-baby ward."I cannot complain about the treatment at Baragwanath - but they took tests and refused to confirm that the injuries were burn-wounds. Ms Prinsloo believes that they are protecting the Germiston Hospital. Meanwhile the family has consulted a private medical practitioner who has undertaken to treat the baby free of charge. The couple are empoverished and living in Boksburg. The doctor has requested anonimity - but she confirmed in an interview with Maroela Media that baby Juan definitely was suffering from burn-wounds. After the mom and baby were discharged from hospital his wounds have cleared up considerably. "We treat his wounds every day with ointment and cover it with gauze, and bandages.' Juan also needs physiotherapy and they will have to wait and see whether the burns caused any permanent damage to the little baby. The couple are consulting lawyers to 'discuss the road ahead', they said. Ms Pienaar said she was overwhelmed by the help the poor couple received from the community and organisations. She thanked everyone for their contributions and prayers. Gauteng health dept spokeswoman Patricia Mokoena was asked for comment and confirmed that Juan was born at the Bertha Goxwa-hospital. She would not comment about the injuries the baby sustained there. http://www.maroelamedia.co.za

SAPS ignore white crime victims: Vista: Matthew Oosterloo 19, shot in hip, cops take statement month later
Vista: SA Police Ignore White Crime Victims: Matthew Oosterloo, 19 shot in hip by home-attackers: cops 4 weeks before taking his statement
Report by Marti Will of Vista News: 2014-07-24 Vista: Western Cape, South Africa: Attack-victim Matthew Oosterloo: "It took the police four weeks after I was shot in my hip during a home invasion to come to me and take my statement.
“If they had come to me sooner I would have been able to give them at least one identikit. Now it is all very vague.”
Vista has now spoken to Matthew Oosterloo (19), the gun-shot victim.
What was to have been a fun evening with friends playing pool, chess and watching soccer together, turned into a nightmare for them and a close shave with death for one young Welkom boy.
Last week Vista reported about the incident in which seven youths were accosted inside a home in Vista by three armed (*black) men.
“I was playing pool and facing the lounge door when I saw a man with a gun enter. I moved away towards the kitchen and tried to gesture to the others about the man.
“Then I saw a second man in the kitchen. I lunged at him with the pool stick. It broke.
“That was when a third man came into the kitchen with a gun. He aimed it at me, looked away and then he pulled the trigger.
“At that moment I instinctively started turning away,” says Matthew. “The bullet hit me and I went down. The man who was in the lounge with my friends rushed into the kitchen and then they all three ran away.
“Only when the perpetrators had gone, I stood up. I felt pain and I saw the blood. I realised that I had been shot.”
HIS FRIENDS WERE FORCED TO LIE DOWN 'TO BE EXECUTED'...
Matthew says he only found out much later that the man who was in the lounge with his friends had made them lie down
execution style. “It was all so weird and surreal. Who knows what would have happened if I had not caused a commotion and been shot. I give all praise to God for keeping us safe. God protects the righteous,” he says.
-- Matthew says that when they did a CT scan of his wound in hospital, they told him how lucky he had been.
“If I had not turned when the man pulled the trigger, the bullet would have struck my kidneys, liver, spleen, my vital organs. God is truly good.
GANG INITIATION RITE: ATTACKING AND SHOOTING WHITES:
“We are convinced it was a type of gang initiation, you know the rape, rob and murder scenario. If they had tried to rape one of the girls we would all have fought tooth and nail. That would have ended in someone dying for sure. Nothing was taken and nothing else happened. They just ran away after I was shot,” says Matthew.
Capt. Stephen Thakeng, Welkom SAPS Communications, says a case of attempted murder has been "registered for further
investigation." Detective warrant officer Elliot Khutsoane was handed the case however he went on vacation until July 22.
Khutsoane visited the hospital twice, but the victim was in no position to give a statement.”
“He will now take a statement,” says Thakeng. Three statements were also taken from 'people who were with the victim'.
“On 10 July the SAPS issued a statement announcing that a manhunt had been launched after the victim had been shot in his stomach.
“’This is part of assisting us with the investigation to look for the suspects,” says Thakeng.
He didn't explain why the crime scene was not forensically examined.

The horrific arson-attack took place in Southcrest. Mrs Van Tonder shares the house with Mrs Milly Clark, 63. She said that a 'gardener who had been fired' poured 5 liters of petrol across Mrs Van Tonder's car just as she was backing out, leaving for work, and set her and the car alight. Neighbour Mrs Raclene Barnard said her housekeeper started screaming shortly after 07h00 while standing in the kitchen. "I looked out from my backdoor and saw flames. I thought the entire house was on fire and ran over there.
I saw Jenny (van Tonder) standing in the driveway. Apparently after the gardener torched the car, she was unable to get out from the driver's side and had to crawl through one of the rear windows. She sustained burn injuries to her face, chest and arms. Mrs Clark said that the 'gardener was very drunk and had recently become very aggressive towards the elderly women. Mrs Clark said that after she had personally fired the aggressive man on Tuesday, he had left. He came back on Thursday and torched Mrs Jenny van Tonder inside her car. (picture attached). The SAPS and the community-policing-forum volunteers are searching for the man, whose identity is known. (*Alas they did not publish his picture to help make the search easier and ask the internet community to distribute his identity so that he can be located and charged with this heinous crime. By late Thursday morning they still continued searching. http://citizen.co.za/219269/arrests-petrol-bomb-incident/

Survivor Afrikaans farm-attack victim Nadia Gibbens 33 hands sotho-bible to her convicted torturer Thabo Thamiae
Afrikaans farm attack-victim Nadia Gibbens 33, gives #Sotho-bible to Thabo Thamiae 20, convicted of stabbing her with a pointed bottle-shard and attempted rape
July 26 2014 - Volksblad Afrikaans daily reports that Nadia Gibbens, the 33-year-old victim of Sotho-speaking Thabo Thamiae, 20, went to hand over a bible in his own language
and told him he 'should get the Lord into your heart'. The convict was found guilty of stabbing her with a broken bottle, trying to rape her and robbing her.
After his conviction in the Bloemfontein, South Africa high court by magistrate Marina Voges to 29 years imprisonment for the foul deed
on her smallholding on 20 November 2012. The man, an illegal migrant from neighbouring Lesotho,
attacked the young Afrikaner mom just after her husband Quentin had left their home with the children Gregory 4 and Charlotte 3.
He tied her up, stabbed her in her head, back and left shoulder - leaving behind shards of glass in her body.
Then he tried to strangle her with an electric cord and tried to rape her.
Mrs Gibbens during her hour-long ordeal managed to push an alarm button.
"He looked as if 20,000 devils were jumping from his eyes,' said the religious Nadia during her testimony.
Now she's hell-bent on converting him to Christianity after he said during litigation of sentencing that he 'was sorry for what he had done'.
She even wants to visit him in prison after giving him the bible in his own language, she told Volksblad.

Murder: Christine Robinson, 59, UK owner of RraDitau gamefarm, Thabazimbi SAPS version differs from Afriforum
Murder of Mrs Christine Robinson 59 of UK on Thabazimbi farm: - two different versions:
VERSION NR 1 BY Afriforum civil-rights group 's spokesman Ian Cameron - who wrote on Politicsweb.co.za that the British woman was "gruesomely beaten to death and that two of her workers who may be linked to the case, have gone missing'.
VERSION NR 2 by SA POLICE SPOKESWOMAN FOR LIMPOPO PROVINCE: "She was found dead, stabbed in the neck..."Apparently she had made a cashwithdrawal to pay employees' salaries and this money has 'apparently gone missing'.
(spokeswoman Ronél Otto, Limpopo SAPS
http://www.saps.gov.za )
------------
murdered on Thabazimbi farm - Afriforum:
Ian Cameron 30 July 2014 "She was gruesomely beaten to death"...
Christine Robinson, a British woman in her fifties, was gruesomely beaten to death on her (*wildlife) farm about 15 km outside Thabazimbi. The police are investigating the murder and rumour has it that two farmworkers, who may have a connection to the case, are missing. AfriForum once again appealed to Government to prioritise farm murders.
"This is another horrific murder in South Africa. The slow rate at which Government responds to crime sends a distorted image of our country to the rest of the world," said Ian Cameron, Head of Community Safety at AfriForum.
The Minister of Police, Nkosinathi Nhleko, recently announced that they will give urgent attention to farm murders.
"We can't wait for Government any longer. Although we welcome Mr Nhleko's announcement, words don't mean anything if they do not lead to action. They are taking too long," Cameron said.
There were three farm attacks in last 24 hours:
Chrissiesmeer, Mpumalanga: Three women and a baby were attacked and robbed. One of the women wounded the attacker with a panga.

===============
- NUMSA trade union's strike actions are deliberately pitting black-racist mobs dressed in NUMSA tshirts, heavily armed, against unarmed minority workers in 'flashmob-type' actions. The leader of NUMSA persistently denies that any violence takes place despite all the video evidence and photos depicting their violence online. There have been workers injured - one male worker now is in a critical condition - after attacks against minority-workers by NUMSA members according to civil rights group Afriforum (page grab of statement attached).
The unionists are also supported by 'Jihad-groups' inside and outside South Africa

Survives: Yvonne Ferreira, 73, tied up by two black males, discovered three days later by gardener
Survives: Yvonne Ferreira, 73, lay for three days, tied up by two black attackers: Morningside Sandton, South Africa home. Discovered by part-time gardener in dehydrated and in shock -
Reported by Eyewitness News journalistsValeska Abreu, picture by Bongiwe Gumede.
2 Aug 2014 Yvonne Ferreira, 73, is dehydrated and covered in painful bruises on her arms after she was tied up with cable-ties for two days and stockings, laying helplessly on the cold tile floor of her Morningside, Johannesburg home.
She was found Wednesday afternoon by parttime gardener Thabfeng Ndou, who works in her garden in Tuesdays but fetches her garbage cans on Fridays.
Ndou said he discovered her plight when he arrived for his task and jumped across the fence after she didn't answer her doorbell, telephone or cellphone.
She couldn't alert her children in Australia and the USA because they'd stolen her cellphone.
She said three (*confirmed: black) males arrived at her home and two broke in on Wednesday-afternoon while she was in the study.
"I didn't hear them at all, but then I spotted one man in the hallway. He said: "Today we are going to kill you.'
'He pushed me down, demanded my jewellery and money, and once again threatened to kill me.
He was dead-serious: he may have been drugged'.
"I kept asking them what I had done wrong. One pushed a dirty rag into my mouth - so roughly that my lips cracked and bled.
Then this guy tried to smother me with a pillow. I don't know why they left me alone after that failed'.
She said the thugs had turned off the sound of the TV 'so I just lay there and watched the TCM-channel in silence.'
"It elt like eternity. I am not a religious person but I prayed that night away.'
When her gardener knocked on her bedroom window she screamed: "We phoned the police', fearing it was them again.She was still dressed in her teddybear nightgown and a robe.
And the first thing she did when her bonds were cut, was to drink a five-liter bottle of lemon juice in one go.
She told the EWN journalists: "I haven't eaten yet but what I want to do now is bathe. I feel so filthy'.
Warrant officer Moses Maphakela provided the news from the Sandton police station that no, they hadn't caught the
'robbers' yet.

Survived: Elderly parents of Charmaine Du Toit Venter fought off six armed blacks with broom
Survived attack: Elderly parents of Charmaine Du Toit Venter : fought off six armed blacks with broom: Krugersdorp
Charmaine du Toit Venter describes the attack by six blacks which injured her dad in unsuccessful fight to get inside
August 3 2014: KRUGERSDORP: "Last night around 7pm: Six *black males knocked at the window of my parents' TV-room.
When mom went to the door one man, dressed in police uniform, claimed they 'caught someone
who was stealing and they were looking for others and wanted my parents to open up the room of their domestic worker to
search." And then they wanted my parents' telephone number. That's when my dad opened the door ajar, and one man grabbed my dad, who thankfully didn't fall as the old man is unsteady on his legs. My dad pushed his legs against the door and started hitting the guy who wanted to get inside. One black man hit him with a steel birdshotgun and injured his face. Then another guy pulled out one hell of a big knife. That's when my mom grabbed her broom and let fly with it until they let go of the door. My dad managed to get them away from the door so that they could lock the security gate - and then the six ran away.
I am so proud that daddy fought back with everything he had so that they couldn't get to my mama.
Thank you Father for the hand of protection you held over my parents.
This could have been so much worse. Realise once again how Great is Our God."

#SouthAfrica farms are in death spiral - heading for heavy loss in food production
#SouthAfrica Farms in Death Spiral: #AgriNorthWest Boeta du Toit warns : "Of the 276,000 farming units in Gauteng, 70% lie unused as farms. Most are fallow or used as scrapyards; car-dealerships etc. This warning was raised by Bota du Toit, Agri-North West’s CEO. "Since 2000, farmers decreased from 65,000 to 34,000. He said that "emerging farmers"-- (#ANCcode for #BlackFarmers who received small parcels of formerly white-owned farms) -- are among the most squeezed: hundreds are quitting, claiming the government has abandoned them, "with no skills and little access to markets."
This news arrives hot on the heels of publication of controversial land-occupation proposals by Gugile Nkwinti, minister of Rural Development and Land Reform. He demands that commercial farmers must hand over half of all their land to farmworkers.
Agri-Gauteng CEO Derrick Hanekom also warned that "Gauteng was in big trouble with abandoned land. Land carryover from old (i.e. white) to new (black) owners was done haphazardly… land was given to the (black) communities who are not farmers and who, because of a lack of skills, are unable to farm… http://www.agrisa.co.za/

Survives: Smallholder, 80, Boschkop, tortured by 4 blacks who broke his boerbull- dog's back:
Survives: Afrikaner Smallholder, 80 #Boschkop NW in intensive care after torture-bashing by 4 blacks who break his dog's back:
-- Afrikaans article by Phillip Bruwer, Maroela Media Afriforum online publication:
4 Augustus 2014 ʼn Bejaarde man van Pretoria is in die waakeenheid van ʼn hospitaal opgeneem nadat vier gewapende mans hom Maandag op sy kleinhoewe aangeval en gemartel en sy hond se rug gebreek het.
Kapt. Marissa van der Merwe, die stasiebevelvoerder van die Boschkop-polisie, het aan Maroela Media gesê die 80-jarige man bly alleen op sy kleinhoewe in die ooste van die stad. “Hy is vanoggend vroeg uit sy huis om die boerboel te voer,” het Van Der Merwe gesê. “Die vier mans het hom tussen 05:00 en 06:00 buite sy huis oorval en aangerand. Hy is in sy slaapkamer in gedwing waar die mans hom met ʼn strykyster gemartel en sy vuurwapens geëis het.”
Die aanvallers het die huis geplunder en waardevolle items in sy motor gelaai. Die aanvallers het selfs van sy kruideniersware, waaronder bokse melk, gebuit.
“Iets het die aanvallers moontlik gesteur, want hulle het alles in die motor gelos en te voet met die vuurwapens gevlug,” het Van der Merwe bygevoeg. “Die polisie vermoed hulle het dalk gevlug toe die huishulp omstreeks 06:00 vir werk opgedaag het. Die huishulp het haar werkgewer in die kamer gevind en hulp ontbied. Die aanvallers wou moontlik ook die man in sy kamer aan die brand steek, maar dit het darem nie gebeur nie.”
Van Der Merwe sê die aanvallers het die man se hond só erg aangerand dat die hond se rug gebreek het. “Die hond moes van kant gemaak word,” het sy gesê.
Die man is tans in ʼn stabiele toestand in die Wilgers-hospitaal.Die polisie ondersoek ʼn saak van poging tot moord en huisbraak. Niemand is nog in verband met die aanval in hegtenis geneem nie.
