On the morning of 19 June, Tom Kirstein (83) and his wife Irene (66) were attacked on their farm just outside Zeerust in the North West province by five blacks. One of the attackers had a weapon.
They were seeking weapons and money.
Mr Kirstein was very badly assaulted. He suffered many head wounds.
The bandits were all set to torture Mrs. Kirstein with boiling water when a vehicle showed up on the farm. The attackers then fled.
Only glasses were stolen.
No confirmation of the incident has been issued by the South African Police Service yet. The attack was reported on the Facebook page of Boere-krisisaksie (BKA – Boer Crisis Action) by Arend Keulder.
