[Quietly, they are still murdering White people on farms, one by one. This is one of the few farm murders which made it into the press – in the small print of course. These things are NEVER major headlines. Jan]

A farmer and his wife were found murdered on their farm near Roedtan in Limpopo on Thursday, police said.

Workers found the bodies of Hennie van Vuuren, 54, and his wife Celia, 52, around 7am at Doringfontein Farm, Superintendent Malesela Ledwaba said.

“The farmer was found dead outside his bakkie near the gate, while his wife was found dead behind two farmhouses. Both had multiple gunshot wounds.”

Ledwaba said the motive for the killing was not known. It had also not been determined whether anything had been stolen.

Police have appealed to anyone with information about the incident to contact Inspector Solomon Matjila on 076-481-1919 or Crime Stop on 08600-10111.

Responding to the murders, Agri SA, said that given attacks on farmers, it was becoming increasingly difficult to convince them not to take the law into their own hands, chairman of Agri SA’s law and order committee, Kiewiet Ferreira, said.

Agri SA had requested an urgent meeting with Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula over what the authorities were doing to ensure the safety of the farming community.

Ferreira said that Agri SA had already appealed to the police to put better security measures in place to protect farmers during the festive season.

“It is unacceptable that the farming community is increasingly the target of crime in rural areas,” he said. – Sapa
