A farm attack took place on 18 August 2020, at 12:20, in Middelvlei agricultural holdings, in Randfontein, at Sonskyn dairy, in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Three attackers armed with AK47’s raided the farm and shot and wounded an elderly woman. The elderly couple’s son shot one attacker dead.

The woman was evacuated to a hospital in Krugersdorp. A panic alarm was activated and all role players responded and a search for the two attackers continued. One was then also arrested and one remains at large.
