Gerhard Kunneke (69) and his wife, Lynette (67) were attacked on their farm near Nelspruit on May 7, 2015 when he went to shut down his generator after load shedding. Three to five suspects attacked him with a spade. He sustained serious injuries.
They hit his wife in the face too and forced her to open the safe. They took his firearms, TV’s and cellphones. Hi-Tech Security were on the scene in minutes and their ambulance transported the couple to Medi clinic.
”We would like to encourage everyone that owns a generator to ensure it is situated in a well-lit area and if at all possible, set an automatic transmission that as soon as Eskom power comes on that the generator cuts out, saving you having to go and switch it off”, said Hi-Tech Security’s general manager Vernon Lancaster.
“We are sorry this family had to go through this and decided to place this picture for public to see the kind of brutality victims go through that have been in a farm attack.”
