[FARMER’S WIFE CHARGED WITH PLOTTING TO KILL HER HUSBAND]
The Aliwal North Magistrates’ Court postponed the case against Anelle de Bruin (46), the wife of a prominent local farmer, accused of plotting to kill him in a staged “farm attack”. The accused is charged with conspiracy to murder after she was arrested on 09 January 2025.
She made a brief appearance today, and the prosecution applied for postponement for further investigations as there are still some outstanding statements, photo albums and cell phone records. The matter will be back in court on 23 April 2025, with the accused still out on R2000 bail, with special conditions that she does not return to the farm and have supervised visits of their children.
She was arrested after police received a tip-off from a middleman that she had allegedly approached to find hitmen to kill her 56-year-old husband. According to police investigations, the accused had already paid the middleman a down payment and promised to pay the remainder after the killing was executed and insurance payouts made. She was allegedly recorded instructing that after shooting her husband at their farm, the hitmen must shoot the family’s dogs and vehicle tyres to make it look like a “farm attack”. She had allegedly also informed the middleman of how long would neighbouring farmers take to respond to the attack. It is alleged that she stood to inherit more than R50 million in the event of her husband’s death.
Some social media users claim the AfriForum treason complaints being investigated by the Hawks are a misuse of government machinery to target Afrikaners.

We face an existential threat which requires drastic measures to turn things around. Our collective goal is to bring back people home to the ANC. We have to fight back to regain the confidence of our people. We must redouble our efforts to mobilise our tradional base which includes the White, Coloured and Indian community, including our Alliance Partners, the SACP, COSATU and SANCO who must be part and parcel of our renewal project.

You called me just a few weeks ago asking for something! My chip wasn’t an issue when you needed my help because you were losing jobs overseas because of a screengrab I shared about your posts! Next time I won’t be nice and understanding! Keep posting your bullshit little boy
I wish the EFF was still at it's peak. This whole Afriforum situation, would've catapulted them straight to the top. They put the land discourse and racism to the front of the national debate. The counter-revolutionary agenda has broken the party. Sad.
Solidarity will embark on a month-long tour of Europe, asking world powers to put pressure on the SA government to rethink certain reform laws.
