Midlands farm attack: Premier, MEC and SAPS can no longer leave our rural communities at the mercy of criminals
19 November 2021
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) strongly condemns the recent attack on an elderly farmer and his family in Boston in the Midlands on Wednesday afternoon.
The man is in hospital recovering from near fatal injuries. The DA extends its best wishes for a speedy recovery to both him and his family and we also call for the trauma counselling they will need.
At this stage, no arrests have been made and the attempted murderers are out on the streets. The DA trusts that SAPS will put every effort into finding the perpetrators and bringing them to book.
This latest horrific attack has brought the total number of farm attacks in the province to four in just 10 days.
