The latest farm attack and murder on a farm outside Moorreesburg is clear proof that this type of crime must be declared a priority crime.
Mr. Frans Koch (69) and his wife, Ingrid (65) were attacked in their house on their farm Klipheuwel on Tuesday 5 April 2022.
Mrs. Koch was killed in the incident and her husband was seriously injured and is currently in hospital.
A suspect has been arrested and will appear in court soon.
The FF Plus agrees with Agri Western Cape that one farm murder is one too many.
The FF Plus will continue to fight for an essential special rural security unit that focuses on the prevention of farm attacks and that, in collaboration with farmers and other security forums, fights this type of crime.
The FF Plus expresses its deepest sympathy with the family of the deceased and wishes Mr. Koch for a speedy recovery.
