DA condemns farm attack in the Hidcote area
23 September 2019
The Democratic Alliance wishes the victims of a brutal farm attack in the Hidcote area a full recovery.
The couple, Burgen and Chantelle Thorne, were attacked in their home along the D161 near Mooi River on Saturday night. The attackers left the husband badly injured with multiple stab wounds as they fled into nearby plantations. They abandoned their vehicle on a nearby gravel road.
The husband was rushed to Hospital in Pietermaritzburg and was joined by his wife soon after.
The DA would also like to thank the farmers of the Hidcote area as well as Nsele Security for their rapid response to the incident.
