re: Another day another white farmer murdered in South Africa

News24

Another family was attacked last week and the husband was killed.

On May 13 farmer Tool Wessels (55), owner of the farm Kapteinsdrif, was brutally murdered, and his wife, Liezel (55), was tortured for hours.

It's the second time in five months a farm murder was committed in the valley. In December, Piet and Elmien Steyn from the farm Zandfontein were brutally killed.

The details of the attack spread like wildfire. Liezel was home alone at about 18.30 when four intruders attacked. Tool had left minutes before to take labourers back to their homes in town. Upon his return, he was ambushed. Boiling water had been poured over the couple while the intruders demanded cash. Liezel was stabbed in the chest with a sharp object.

She managed to free herself and flee after the attackers dragged Tool from the house. She got in her car and drove off to find help. No one was home at the first farm she stopped, but she found someone at Bonnievale Cellars.

At around 23:00, one of Tool's labourers found his body at a pump station in the vineyard. His hands were still tied behind his back.

Not true, plenty of countries recruit these folks including other African countries.

Farms are obvious targets for robberies, doesn't have anything to do with race.
