BACKGROUND TO HECTORSPRUIT AND MALELANE SHOOTINGS:
===========
Leon Christo Clur of Hectorspruit shot dead; Pieter Slabbert 51 of Malelane shot & injured - 4 February 2014: Phillip Bruwer reports on Maroela Media: Malelane and Hectorspruit residents are shocked about the two violent attacks in their area over the weekend.In the first incident, an Afrikaner man was shot in his kitchen and in the second incident, another Afrikaner man was shot dead in his lapa (barbeque area) while he and his family were having a braai.SAPS sergeant Gerald Sedibe confirmed to Maroela Media that Malelane resident Pieter Slabbert (51) was shot and injured by two black men on his family farm Q-Rare.“Slabbert, his wife and daughter were in their kitchen around 16h40. The upper-part of the kitchen door was open and the men jumped across - guns firing. They fired four shots at Mr Slabbert - of which two bullets struck him. He was also knifed. His wife and 22-year-old daughter hid inside a room. The two men - one with a firearm, the other with several knives, assaulted the wife, Lizelle, and the daughter.The men then fled on foot, only taking a laptop computer and cellphones.Slabbert was rushed to hospital and reportedly in stable condition at the Mediclinic Nelspruit.The investigating officer Pat Banda has requested that anyone knowing of having seen anything, to please contact him at 082 449 0291.The second Afrikaner who was shot, Mr Leon Christo Clur, died at the Mediclinic in Nelspruit on Sunday evening. He and his family were having a barbeque when they were attacked.Again, there were two black male gunmen, attacking Mr Clur at around 20h00. Mr Clur fought back but the men overpowered him, pinned him to the ground, and shot him through the head ( like a dog!). He died in hospital. His wife Marli pleaded with the men and said they 'could take anything they wanted'. They demanded money. She went into the homestead with them and gave them their two laptops, two cellphones, Clur's wallet a hunting rifle, a shotgun,
and ammunition. Again, they fled on foot. The SAPS and the farm-watch volunteers mounted a search through the night and at around 02h00 on Monday they spotted the two suspects near the railway tracks in the veldt. The SAPS ordered the men to stand still so that they could be arrested. The men pointed the rifles at the police. The police shot them down to defend their own lives - killing both suspected murderers.The weapons were confiscated: it is believed they belonged to Mr Clur.A resident from the Onderberg-region said residents have been targeted over the past three months - even in broad daylight."We all have handradios in our homes and panic buttons linked to all the community members' network. We don't even dare to venture outdoors in the daytime, these guys are waging a reign of terror.'
