The View Point

According to the most recent crime figures, which show that 49 people were murdered on farms over the entire 2019/20 financial year. AgriSA said that in June alone 31 people were killed & insists that government needs to subsidize the equipment systems they have to buy to bolster security on farms.

Farmers with 'Boer Lives Matter' banners have stormed a court and fired shots as they tried to force their way into cells holding two murder suspects that stood accused of torturing and killing 21-year-old farm manager Brendin Horner last Friday.
