Two tourists from the Netherlands experienced first hand what what farm attacks are about when they were attacked and shot at during a braai on a smallholding in Buffelsdrift, Pretoria

Two tourists from the Netherlands and their tour guide were attacked and shot at on a smallholding in Buffelsdrift which is north of Pretoria on Thursday afternoon. The tourists were braaing (BBQ) with some other people when 3 black male attackers struck. The tour guide ran to go and look for help as shots were fired at the tour guide and the 2 tourists.

Thankfully the 3 attackers fled without taking anything, probably because the tour guide got away and the attackers feared that he would raise the alarm. There were no injuries but the tourists were left severely traumatized. Neighbours did hear the shots and called the Police who attended the scene but no arrests were made.
