President and Minister’s silence on farm murders unacceptable
25 June 2018
The FF Plus was shocked to learn of the wave of farm murders this past weekend and is disappointed that the Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, and President Cyril Ramaphosa are silent on the matter.
Pres Ramaphosa was quick to offer his condolences when mosques were attacked, and people were killed and he even appointed a presidential commission of inquiry to investigate these attacks and murders in mosques. But he is silent when it comes to farm murders.
The same is true for the Minister of Police who also condemned the attacks and murders in mosques, but who said nothing about the farm murders.
The three men who were murdered at the weekend are: Mr Jeffrey Zetler (62) of the farm Mooiberge outside Stellenbosch, Mr Kallie Schoonraad (47) from Rustenburg and Mr Peter Dawson (64) from Hartbeespoort.
