A farm attack took place on Tuesday night 6 July 2021, in Haakdoornlaagte, Kameeldrift East near Pretoria, in the Gauteng province of South Africa. The man was shot three times after he went outside his house to check on a security camera that had been tampered with.
The wounded man and his wife were then held hostage for three hours as their home was looted by the attackers.
The man who had been shot in his thigh, hip and leg was held hostage by the attackers along with his wife until 02:00 on the morning of 7 July 2021.
