51 Farm murders since Eugene Terre'Blance was murdered on his farm
It is now a year since Mr. Eugene Terre'Blanche has been murdered on his farm. Since then 77 attacks occurred on farms throughout the country in which 51 people were murdered.
During the first quarter of this year, from 1 January to 31 March, 16 farm attacks occurred in which eight farmers were murdered.
TAU SA is doing its best in keeping up to date with these statistics but it is possible that these figures could be even higher.
The farmers who have been murdered this year, are Mr. Kobus van Rooyen, Mrs Wendy Wilken, Mr. Deon van Staden, Mrs. Babs Strecker, Ms Georgie Jacklin, Mr. Frik Hermann, Mr. French Eric Powell, and Mr. Alberto Costa.
"This means that on average more than six farm attacks occur every month, and that on average more than four farmers have been murdered monthly, on the basis of the statistics of the last year," said Mr Henk van de Graaf, Assistant General Manager of TAU SA.
