Survived: January 31 2015 - Badly bruised Marieta Kruger 71, ambushed, kicked on her face, daughter-in-law Susara also attacked by 3 black males at Nylstroom farm:
- journalist: Ronél van Jaarsveld Pretoria News - 13 Feb 2015 Nylstroom: A brief visit to a girlfriend in the late afternoon left a nasty turn for 71-year-old Mrs Marieta Kruger 71, whose face was left badly bruised after 3 black males kicked her face after ambushing her upon her return home to the farm of her children Alwyn and Susara Kruger. The farm is located on the Kranskop road and the couple own the restaurant/boma Jagkamp (Hunting Camp).
It happened on Saterdag, 31 January 2015 as she drove into the garage, climbed out - and immediately was caught by three black males wearing balaclaves: one armed with a firearm, one with a handmade knife and the third with a thick steel-pipe. The old Afrikaans lady still tried to take the gunman's weapon away from him and was thrown roughly to the ground and kicked on her face by the attackers. Her daughter in law Susara was sick at home and in bed and heard her screaming. She rushed to help her thinking she may have fallen - and as she opened the door she also was attacked. The two Afrikaner women were dragged into the homestead."We had no cash in the house. I wept and told them to just take anything but to just not hurt us, "said Susara to "Die Pos' journalist who wrote the story. Strangely, the blacks weren't at all interested in the airgun or the .22 rifles (legally registered) but took laptops, wallets, cellphones and costume jewellery. The two woman were locked into the young Kruger couple's bedroom because it was the only room with a key in the door.
We waited a few minutes after they left and then used the brick which was in front of the door to bash a hole in the door so that we could escape. We had no cellphones left to call for help. I bought my new little car in December and feared that they would have stolen it. When they grabbed me in the garage I threw the key underneath the car. However the key and the car were still there and we drove to the Jagkamp where my son was and called the police from there.'
Die Pos writes that during their visit her body was still black and blue in places, her eye still blue and swollen as they had kicked her in the face. She had made a valiant attempt to cover her bruises with make up. The woman reportedly were shocked, but other wise unharmed. "We usually are so security conscious, with heavy burglar-bars everywhere but even our fierce little Jack Russell dog was peaceful this time,' said Susara. Warrant officer James Findlay of the Nylstroom (the ANC name is Modimolle) police is investigating only a charge of house robbery - not of attempted murder.
