A farm attack took place on Monday 14 September 2020, at 00:55 in Wepener, in the Free State province of South Africa. A man, Fred Smith was fortunate that an internal security gate in his home was in place, this after four attackers gained entry to his home through the kitchen door.
The fact that the attackers could not physically attack Smith gave him the opportunity to raise the alarm. A swift response by two local farmers and Smith’s farm workers resulted in the arrest of one of the attackers.
The other attackers fled into the bush and there were no other arrests. The SAPS were on the scene and will investigate further.
