@TrumpDailyPosts It's been going on for years ,they are going after land that have value in MEGA farming , if your land is small and don't show profit, they don't take it, of my 7 neighbors 6 is black, 1 is white and we live in harmony, we gave up on farming due to cattle theft and breakings
Farm attacks are brutal and a reality, but to say is just white farmers getting brutalized is so wrong, it's all the farmers, black and white and the workers,
I will keep posting what happend, and still happens every week on our farms in South Africa until something is done about it -
Mookgopong - Attackers slashed 72 yr old Charles Bothaโs Achilles tendons, mutilated him and left him 2km from his farmhouse in the
bushes to keep him from interfering with their murder rampage. Then, they murdered his wife.
"They killed my parents like animals..." said a heartbroken Callie Botha on Thursday after his parents had been found murdered on this Limpopo farm.
Farmers in the Naboomspruit area were shocked and angered by the cruelty with which 72-year-old Charles Botha was killed.
The farmer's body was found on Wednesday about two kilometres from Kaalvallei farm.
Superintendent Malesela Ledwaba of Waterberg police said that, apart from Botha's Achilles tendons being slashed, he also had been stabbed several times with a sharp object, as there were wounds to his legs, back and head.
"Police are looking for a farm worker who has disappeared since the murder. They suspected there might have been more than one attacker.
The bloody body of Botha's wife, Joey, 71, was found in the main bedroom of the farmhouse.
The couple's son, Deon, found his mother's body under a duvet. Her face had been crushed with a brick.
Johan Botha, one of the couple's four sons, said his mom had been "very badly hurt".
"It seemed as if she had tried to stop the attacker with a pillow, but in vain."
Nothing was taken from the house. A firearm on Botha's bedside table was untouched, as was his bakkie.
A shocked Marie Helm, area manager for Transvaal Agricultural Union, SA-North, said on Thursday afternoon: "The murder is frightening.
"We don't know what else to do to get the government to listen to us and stop the farm murders. "There's no way these murders are related to burglary or theft," she said.
Deon and Callie Botha saw their parents for the last time alive on Tuesday. They tried to phone them on Wednesday, but got no answer at the farmhouse.
Deon and a neighbour, Koos Fouche, went to the house on Wednesday afternoon.
The house was locked. The couple's cars were parked outside and the electricity had been cut.
Deon broke a window to get inside, and found his mother's bloody body.
This happened in 2006. Since then there have been more than 8000 ( YES 8 Thousand) more attacks on farmers.
