A farmer of Bothaville in the Free State died of complications from injuries sustained during a farm attack in December 2017. The wife of Gerrie Labuschagne (64), Annetjie, confirmed that Gerrie has died. The couple was attacked on their farm Normandie, on the Humansvlakte on 3 December 2017. They had just arrived back from church and had stopped under the carport when the three black male attackers attacked them and beat Gerrie over the head with a steel pipe repeatedly.
Annetjie could get hold of her firearm and wounded one attacker after which the attackers fled. The 3 attackers were arrested in the vicinity when farmers in the area responded. The 3 attackers are still on trial. One of the attackers worked on the farm he attacked.
A friend of Gerrie, Thinus Barnard, told the media that Gerrie was a fit and healthy farmer until he was attacked. Gerrie sustained serious head injuries in the attack and could not walk after a while. His wife was not able to look after him full time and he was admitted to a care facility in Bothaville.
That is where he now died and now his name will have to be added to the farm murder memorial containing the names of about 2000 farmers who have been murdered after the unbanning of the ANC.
One wonders why Agri SA, the purported association for farmers never says anything about this slaughter of members of their profession. Dan Kriek, a self declared ” progressive” farmer rather gave a very expensive South Devon stud bull to Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday 8 March 2020, in Tweeling, the same Ramaphosa who denied that there are ANY farm murders whilst he was on a visit to New York in 2018.
