For weeks I have said that weekends have become open hunting season on whites in South Africa . I have shared all the stories of the murdered people.

On Friday I asked if another bloody slaughter awaits us . Well, it was :

1. The well known strawberry farmer Jeffrey Zetler, the owner of the Mooiberge strawberry farm on the R44 between Stellenbosch and the Strand was murdered on Saturday evening on his farm during an armed robbery. He employed a 1000 people. Zetler’s wife’s birthday was also this weekend. He was the victim of 5 previous armed robberies, so it is unknown why the robbers decided to kill him this time.

A white Toyota Quantum followed Zetler when he dropped workers. He was blocked at his farmgate and forced back to the office to open the safe. After the robbers already took what they wanted, they stabbed Zetler to death .

2. Crystal Dawson (28) and her father Peter Dawson (64)who was tortured before he was shot and killed by three armed attackers in their house on a smallholding in Broederstroom, Hartbeespoort, North West, Saturday night.
Crystal managed to escape and ran through the bushes and crawled through an electric fence before she reached the road (R512) and flagged down a motorist.

The motorist called 10111 from a nearby petrol station but they did not answer the phone. They managed to get hold of Chrystal’s sister who was out for the night and told her not to return to the smallholding. Eventually they got hold of the Police who found Peter dead in the house.

3. Kallie Schoonraad (47) was shot dead on a farm in the Shylock area in Rustenburg, North West province, on Saturday evening 23 June 2018. Kallie’s father in law was outside the farmhouse playing with his grandchild when 5 robbers,black males, arrived. They started shouting after which Kallie came out of the house. They shot him just there. The attackers then forced Kallie’s father in law into the house and assaulted him, the children and Kallie’s wife. They escaped with household goods, firearms and the family’s Toyota Fortuner reg no JTT 179 NW. No arrests carried out and tehicle has not been found back .
