FARMER SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR THE MURDER OF FELLOW FARMER
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomes the sentence of life imprisonment imposed by the Pretoria High Court on Fredrick Pieter Jacobus Botha (44) of Vanderbijlpark for the premeditated murder of Christiaan van Tonder. In addition to the life sentence, the court sentenced Botha to 10 years' direct imprisonment for theft of cattle; seven years' direct imprisonment for possession of an unlicensed firearm; and three years' direct imprisonment for possession of ammunition. The court ordered that the sentences for theft of cattle, possession of an unlicensed firearm, and possession of ammunition run concurrently with the sentence of life imprisonment.
On 29 November 2021, the deceased sold 31 head of cattle to Botha. After taking possession of the cattle, Botha requested that the deceased accompany him in the deceased's vehicle to a remote area near the Theoville plots in Barrage, purportedly to finalise payment for the livestock. Upon arriving at the location, Botha shot and killed the deceased while he was seated in his bakkie. Later that same day, members of the Barrage Neighbourhood Watch discovered the vehicle with the deceased's body inside and reported the matter to the police. Following extensive investigations, Botha was arrested on 29 August 2023.
During the trial, Botha pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied any involvement in the offences. However, State Prosecutor Advocate Jeniffer Cronje presented compelling evidence that proved his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. During sentencing proceedings, Botha, through his legal representative, urged the court to deviate from imposing the prescribed minimum sentence. He submitted that four permanent employees depended on him for employment and that he provided financial support to his wife, children, mother-in-law, and father. Advocate Cronje opposed any deviation from the prescribed sentence and argued that Botha had shown no remorse for his actions and that the murder was carefully planned. Advocate Cronje submitted that the deceased had been lured to a secluded gravel road where he was murdered for financial gain. Advocate Cronje further highlighted that the deceased was a young and promising farmer whose life was cut short by a senseless act motivated by greed. In addition, the deceased's mother continues to suffer severe psychological trauma because of losing her son.
In delivering sentence, the court agreed with the State's submissions, finding that Botha had demonstrated no remorse for his conduct and that the murder had caused profound and lasting harm to the deceased's family. The court further found that Botha was not the sole provider for his children, noting that they were adequately cared for by their respective mothers. The court emphasised that murder remains one of the most serious offences that can be committed, as it reflects a blatant disregard for the sanctity of human life. The court also noted society's demand for stern sentences to deter violent crime. Furthermore, livestock theft and the possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition remain prevalent and serious offences in South Africa. The court consequently found that no substantial and compelling circumstances existed to justify a lesser sentence and imposed the prescribed sentence of life imprisonment.
The NPA welcomes the sentence and hopes it sends a strong message that stock theft and violent crimes targeting members of the agricultural community will not be tolerated. Perpetrators can expect to face the full might of the law.

@WHLeavitt @fxr82 @elonmusk YESSS…!
Very very needed ever since ‘80’s since starting up the #genocide like #PlaasMorde over there…!!! 🧐🤔
Anstatt das Ihr @welt Euch über Trump mockiert, da er weiße Farmer aus Südafrika aufnimmt, solltet Ihr Euch lieber über die Plaasmorde informieren. Es gibt dazu auch eine Doku aus dem Jahr 2017: Farmlands. Es werden systematisch weiße Farmer, egal ob jung, alt, Mann, Frau, Kind oder Baby auf brutaleste Weise ermordet und dessen Land angeeignet.

murdered on a farm near Ermelo, Mpumalanga last week. There was apparently a land dispute. A male farmer ran her over with a tractor.
No arrest made as yet.

@DonTonnoD @pulpo404 Fliegt gerade um die Welt, um Biotechnologie an Kommunisten zu verschenken, die normalerweise weiße Farmer enteignen oder gleich an den #Plaasmorde brutal umbringen.
@newrepublic The New Republic publication refers to the South African farm murders as "a nonexistent genocide"
#Plaasmorde
One would only refer to it thusly because one supports it and wants it to continue. #WhiteGenocide

[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.

Kallie Kriel and Ernst mustn’t see this, they might re-post with a straight face and say “#plaasmorde .”
Knee fixed, attitude intact - will be back soon to taking names and kicking asses (with perfect form)!
Love you lots❤️🇿🇦❤️
¿Sabías que el grupo con más probabilidades de morir asesinado del mundo es LA POBLACIÓN BLANCA DE SUDÁFRICA? Llevan 20 años provocando un genocidio y los medios de comunicación callan.
Callan como las ratas que son. #Plaasmorde
For years I have been proud to stand with South Africa’s beleaguered White farmers. A cross planted for every white farmer murdered in south Africa creating a huge cross. #plaasmorde @twatterbaas
@LoveOurTrump Why are you quoting a person who wants all white people dead? I suggest you research the South African word #Plaasmorde.
@Sizarhwayiza They’ve been on a very loose leash. I remember that #Plaasmorde campaign they attempted during the Trump era
@pepemar79565814 Aus demselben Grund warum die systematischen Überfälle und Morde an weißen Farmern verschwiegen werden. #plaasmorde
