There was a farm attack 13 December 2015 in the Tuinplaas area.

The two trespassers ripped the security door off its hinges.

While the mother went to get the shotgun from the safe, her daughter tried to keep the door closed by pushing against the attackers. The attackers however, broke down the door and threw the door on top of her. The mother shot at the attackers, but she missed.

The shot was enough to scare off the attackers.
