HANKEY FARM RAPE VICTIM SPEAKS OUT IN COURT! – What a sad state of affairs our country is busy falling into – Irresponsible statements made by certain politicians fan this wave of crime!

Posted on June 10, 2019 Leave a comment

‘ My great-grandfather, grandfather and father were all farmers. I married a farmer whose family have farmed their land for 3 generations. It is with deep sadness that I stand before you today and say that neither of my sons will want to farm in South Africa!

For 17 years I had the privilege of raising my 3 children on a beautiful citrus farm. They swam in the rivers and played in the orchards. They grew up free and fearless as all children should… Little did we know that our every move was being watched. An attack was being maliciously planned.

Our lives changed in an instant at 8 pm on 23 March 2018 when shots were fired directly at my eldest son’s head from outside, these shots missed his head by cm’s.

What followed was four hours of pure hell. I was shot as our attacker fired repeatedly through the doors of our home.

I can only describe this as feeling like WILD ANIMALS being hunted. Our attacker shot through the s

179 attacks and 20 farm murders in 2019 – Rape, burned, shot dead … How do we fight back?

Posted on May 30, 2019 Leave a comment

Last week, a 17-year-old teenager near Fochville was raped and seriously injured. A man was burned with an iron, and the week before that, Liezel Wessels was burned with boiling water and stabbed with a knife shortly before her husband, Tool Wessels, was murdered.

This week South Africa continued to stumble upon the news of two young people, Johanco Fleischman and Jessica Kuhn, who were shot dead on the N12 on Sunday morning near the Putfontein exit in Benoni. Presumably by “caretakers” of illegal miners (zama-zamas) who thought they wanted to buy rogue gold dust. In fact, they were innocent victims of the crime crisis in the country after standing without fuel.

The shocking news about the two young people’s deaths also follows shortly after Annette Kennealy, 50, an activist of farm murders, who was cruelly murdered on her farm outside Louis Trichardt.

There have been 179 attacks and 20 farm murders to date. Although the proble

Former farm worker raped farmer’s wife in front of children – We were hunted like animals, says mom in Hankey farm attack

Posted on May 30, 2019 Leave a comment

A Hankey mother felt like she and her three children were being “hunted like wild animals” the night a lone attacker broke into their farmhouse.

Testifying in the Port Elizabeth High Court on Tuesday, the 44-year-old woman recalled the screams of her children and the terror on their faces as a former worker fired shots through their home.

She told the court that in March last year an attacker stormed their house just after 8pm as she was getting into bed to watch TV and her children were in the lounge. Her husband had gone on a hunting trip, leaving the children 15, 12 and 9 at home with their mother.

The woman said her children ran towards the passage, her two younger children ran into her bedroom and hid while the teenager made a dash for the bathroom.

At this stage the woman had already been shot in her buttocks but she said she pushed her body against the bedroom door to prevent him from entering but he then started shooting.

WATCH | SA farm murders and attacks: Polygraph Analyst Identifies that it’s ‘inside jobs’!(SHARE)

Posted on May 23, 2019 Leave a comment

Silke Kaiser, a polygraph analyst who has worked on more than 300 farm attack cases in South Africa, says that farm attacks are ‘inside jobs’ as employees provide detailed security information to the hit squads who commit the murders.

The motivation is to steal guns, money and jewelry. Kaiser says that rape, torture and murder are pre-planned and are related to witchcraft. She explains how farmers can avoid attacks as very few arrests are made and when there is an arrest, the police are paid off to lose the dockets so there is no prosecution.
