MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF HOEDSPRUIT FARMWATCH Hoedspruit Farmwatch would like to thank everyone for the positive response and support being received so far. We are very proud to serve the community of Hoedspruit and our immediate surrounds and it is an honour to be part of such a phenomenal community. We would however just like to set a few facts straight - firstly Hoedspruit Farmwatch have a very good relationship with our local police and a large number of specialist SAPS units and we work very well in partnership with them. We are there only to support and strengthen their hands. The police did NOT run away from the scene and were there from start to way beyond the end. SAPS on all levels did an awesome job and we are very proud to work with them. We are not sure who created this fabrication but irresponsible statements like this can have very negative consequences and can break down positive and vital relationships that we have spent years building. We ask everyone to please think twice before creating nonsense to just further purposes of sensationalism. Please also note that none of the posts or messages going out are initiated from Farmwatch - we have very strict policies against this - we will however monitor what is being said and just correct any grossly inaccurate facts and straighten irresponsible comments that negatively report on our partners and their involvement in the entire event. Similarly, Hoedspruit Farmwatch has very strict policies about photos and video’s taken on scene and we would just like to make it clear that none of the photos currently being shared are from Hoedspruit Farmwatch, but have originated from Official Sources instead or some of them are from general public who were caught on the edges of the incident. We also please request that any political references are stopped. Hoedspruit Farmwatch is not a political organisation. We are against crime of any nature and focus on fighting crime not politics. Please join us in positivity and stand together against criminals and not against our partners who put their lives on the line daily to protect the citizens of South Africa The following link is an official report and has all facts 100% correct https://t.co/JjfjP09NUy
