EFF statement on the brutal and racist murder of Anele Hoyana by white farmer, Fritz Joubert
2 December 2019
The EFF is deeply saddened by the brutal racist murder of Anele Hoyana by a white farmer,
Fritz Joubert from Geluksdal Gonubie in East London over the weekend.
In a circulating video on social media, the white man can be seen calling Anele Hoyana satan, whilst referring himself as a god. He keeps telling him to kneel and Anele, who is carrying his two-year-old child, bows. In another video, the white farmer can be seen insulting and beating what appears to be the body of Hoyana with the back of a rifle.
The reports of Police and close friends indicate that Hoyana was temporarily staying at the farm with his family. The white man was working on breeding wild cats, for a tourism business. On Saturday morning an argument ensued in which Fritz overpowered Hoyana, held his family hostage, an infant and a two-year-old child.
