AfriForum welcomes arrests of four alleged farm attackers
13 June 2019
AfriForum welcomes the news that four suspects, who allegedly have been involved in the Klapmuts farm attack of 4 June 2019, have been taken into custody.
“It doesn’t happen often that suspects are apprehended shortly after farm attacks and we welcome the efforts of the police to make this happen. As Western Cape community we must, however, start to think proactively,” says Johandré van Zyl, AfriForum’s Head of Safety for the Southern region.
After the murder of Tool Wessels in May this year one suspect was also apprehended swiftly.
Crime in the Western Cape is in the spotlight the past week after various murders in this province. According to AfriForum the murder rate in the Western Cape is more than enough reason for Bheki Cele, Minister of Police, to act and also to set up and implement proactive action plans.
