THE senseless scourge of farm attacks and murders, which is well on its way to stripping this country of its ability to sustain and feed its people, has claimed the lives of yet another white farming couple.
Nico and Marsha Lens were gunned down on their farm in the Lüneburg area in the early evening of September 3.
According to AfriForum, there were 22 confirmed attacks in August of this year, five of which were murders.
“In the past three months, 17 murders were reported to us, ” said Ian Cameron, AfriForum’s head of community safety.
Cameron requested that people in rural areas get involved in safety initiatives, where proactive action can be taken to ward off attacks.
According to him, there are many agricultural organizations, private organizations and community initiatives, such as those of AfriForum, where people can get involved.
“The state has failed to protect its people,” adds Cameron, “we now have to protect ourselves. The state often says that we may not act, but we have a right as citizens to defend our lives and families, and to protect our property.”
