The killing-spree against white farmers continues unabated.<\/p>\n
Two black men were\u00a0arrested for\u00a0the murder of an elderly white woman at Erfbloem farm near Theunissen, Free State police said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The two blacks, aged 21 and 22, were accused of killing an Afrikaner woman Martie Bester, 68, whose body was found inside a burnt house on the farm, said Captain Harry Nagel.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice recovered three of the stolen firearms as well as ammunition, a computer, jewellery, compact discs and clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bester’s Toyota Hilux was found burnt on the farm.<\/p>\n
The pair would appear in the Theunissen Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
On Monday, too, another two black suspects\u00a0were arrested for the murder of an elderly white couple on Kwaagakraal farm near Bainsvlei, Bloemfontein.<\/p>\n
The bodies of the couple, aged 70 and 72, were dumped near the farm at Waaikraal, Nagel said at the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe couple had been shot and killed during a robbery in which a television set, firearms and vehicle were taken.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nagel said they arrested the two blacks, aged 20 and 25, after receiving a tip-off about a suspicious vehicle in the area. The pair then showed the police where the bodies were.<\/p>\n
A third black suspect, aged 19, was later arrested at Kelly’s View. He was in possession of a stolen television set and firearm.<\/p>\n
The three would appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Seven whites have been killed on farms by blacks since the beginning of the year, which means one murder almost every second day.<\/p>\n
Three whites\u00a0were killed in the past 48 hours on farms in the Free State province\u00a0alone.<\/p>\n
President Jacob Zuma recently warned white farmers about\u00a0“living conditions” of black farm workers, but agricultural unions\u00a0say\u00a0the\u00a0claims are unfounded.<\/p>\n
Worryingly, the president who entertains his audience with singing\u00a0“Kill a Boer, kill a farmer” and “Bring me my machine gun”, has remained silent on the scourge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
