Couple survives farm attack

Two men were arrested for allegedly attacking an elderly couple in Limpopo when they arrived at their farm after church, their daughter said on Monday.

Izak and Marrianne Jansen van Vuuren were confronted on Sunday morning as they tried to open the gate to their farm in Marken, near Lephalale.

Anel Jansen van Rensburg said her parents drove their bakkie up to their gate. Marrianne alighted to open it.

"My mother struggled to open the gate, so my father climbed out of his bakkie to help her.

"While doing this they were hailed by two men who had their hands behind their backs. The men said they were looking for work. My father told them to leave. But the two men kept approaching and the next moment one of the men hit him in the face."

The men were armed with a hammer, a baton and an axe and beat the father "mercilessly".

"My mother managed to get back to their vehicle as Mr Jansen van Rensburg screamed to her to drive away, which she did.

"Somehow the men managed to catch up with the vehicle and brought both my mother and the vehicle back to where my father was lying.

"My father was tied onto the back of the bakkie, while the two suspects climbed into the cabin with my mother between them."

The attackers lost control of the vehicle, drove off the road, crashed through bushes and a fence and stalled.

Izak had managed to free himself and jumped out and ran, throwing stones at the two, who abandoned Marrianne and the bakkie to chase him. He made it to a neighbour's farm and help was summoned.

"Before the police even reacted, neighbours with private planes were already searching the area from the air."

Izak was taken to Moropong hospital in Lephalale and later transferred to HF Verwoerd hospital in Pretoria. The injuries to his face were so extensive he would need plastic surgery.

The two men were expected to appear in a local court soon. – Sapa Quelle

A bakkie is a pickup-truck. Look at this farm attack. The Blacks just won't leave us alone. A friend of mine in Johannesburg had blacks bash into his house the other day. They brought a truck and ripped his steel gate out. (The gate was secure and you could not lift it up off the rails). They ripped out the gate, came into his house. His daughter was inside and they locked her in a cupboard. They stole all his computer equipment and anything of value. The things too bulky to carry out they smashed to pieces. Apparently, this gang has been on a rampage in the Western suburbs of Johannesburg for the last month.

'F**k you, sit down and shut up'

A Bedfordview man believes he was sworn at, roughed up and jailed by three Ekurhuleni metro police officers because he is white. His wife, he said, was sworn at and pushed against a counter by an Ekurhuleni metro police officer, who also mishandled her in full view of SAPS members at the Olifantsfontein police station. “It’s about race. Why allow someone to attack a white woman in a police station and do nothing about it? The way he spoke to her makes us sure that it was racists,” Donovan Whittle said.Quelle
