Second cruel farm murder: Randfontein

Second cruel farm murder hits Randfontein: owner of Vleikop petting-zoo bird sanctuary, ‘tortured to death’…

4 June 2011 - Vleikop smallholdings - Dennydale - The hidden body of a prominent Randfontein Boer who ran a petting- and bird-sanctuary on his smallholding, was found murdered on 4 June 2011 after an extensive search when the unnamed Boer went missing and four former employees also disappeared.

  The local Afrikaner community already is up in arms about the wave of armed attacks against the working-class Afrikaner smallholders throughout the region over the past year – and protested at the local law-courts against the bail applications of two black men who were arrested for an earlier farm murder  on March 3, when maize-farmer Koos van Rooyen, 63, was shot dead execution-style. Workers found the latest murdered farmer's body about 1km from the road on Friday -  hidden inside a crack inside a rocky outcrop. He was tightly trussed up by his hands and feet, a bag was pulled over his head, he was naked and reportedly grossly mutilated. Bystanders said the 'method in which he was killed was extremely cruel'.

BOERGENOCIDE YSTERKOPPIE CROSSES MONUMENT PIETERSBURGAt the time of publication, the police pathology unit was unable to establish exactly how he had died, as they had not yet managed to extricate his body from the rock ledge. The local Herald newspaper did not have his name at that stage. According to well-informed sources, a former worker who had unsuccessfully sued the farmer, ‘swore revenge’ when the court turned down his application. This black man has now disappeared with three other friends from a nearby township and police are looking for all four black males.
