Seventh farm attacks in Limpopo in march 2015: Ruhann Pelser, 26, farmer at Mogwadi Limpopo survives motiveless attack
Pelser told of the attack on the Mogwadi, Limpopo farm on 19 March 2015 just after 20h00 when he was ripped from his bakkie by six black gunmen while visiting the farm-lands as he does every evening. He saw a vehicle standing in the middle of the road blocking him, and while he was waiting for it move and looked down to clip his twoway-radio to his belt, a black man plucked him from the bakkie. "First I struggled but when I saw five others pointing their guns at me, I realised I wasn't going to win,' said the unarmed Pelser.
“I kept watching that nervous black gunman's finger on the trigger of the shotgun and waited for the shot to go off..
I was terrifed and knew I was going to die.'
Pelser was visiting the fields as he does every evening to check that everything was OK and saw an unknown vehicle in the road.
While he waited for the vehicle to move out of the way so that he could get past, an armed man was at his door and plucked him from his bakkie.
And behind him were five more gunmen confronting the unarmed farm-worker.
The men hogtied him and threw him on the back of his bakkie. As they drove off they tossed him off. Strangely hardly anything was 'robbed': only one cellphone. They missed the smaller cellphone in his pocket.
He saw the twoway-radio's lights flashing and struggled for 45 minutes to get help. Pelser survived with bruises and cuts in his wrists.
The torched bakkie was found the next day near the farm and he's totally nonplused about the motive.
SAPS provincial spokeswoman Ronel Otto confirmed that there have been no arrests thus far. She also confirmed that this was the seventh attack on Limpopo farms in March 2015.
Pelser was the sixth person to be attacked
