For months now, this is the second demonstration under the banner “Unite Against Farm Murders”
On Saturday, some people took steps to the Union Buildings to protest farm murders in the country.
For months now, this is the second demonstration under the banner “Unite Against Farm Murders.”
A protester mentioned that the government was unable to talk about farm attacks in the country.
“I think this is the time for us to stand up and stand together. Our voice needs to be heard in South Africa against these brutal and senseless farm murders. Enough is enough.”
The demonstration started in the midst of heightened tensions in the Free State after the death of the owner of a farm in the province.
Enraged protesters forced entry into the Senekal Magistrate’s Court and burnt a police vehicle in retaliation to the murder.
A 51-year old man farmer was apprehended due to his involvement in the violence.
