Murder: Clive Bowers murdered when he surprised gang stealing Plasma TV for muti from Bundu Estate home
update 12 Feb 2015 - : After an R50,000 reward was posted to find the killers of Nelspruit resident Clive Bowers, the suspected killers were arrested and most of the loot from the Bowers home recovered. It turns out that the four black males were posingd as hawkers by day on the streets of Nelspruit, and armed thugs at night - and were being sought for attacks on a five-member family at the Botanic Gardens and many other attacks in the area. The arrested black males, who have the Mozambican nationality, have reportedly confessed to the murder of Bowers. They also are being linked with various other crimes and have been referred to as the “panga gang” in the media because they also carried machetes and caused often horrific injuries to their victims.
================
13 February 2015 Nelspruit – Suspects believed to have been involved in the murder of 60-year-old Mr Clive Anthony Bowers in Bundu Estate a month ago, were arrested this morning.
The suspects have allegedly confessed to police that they were the ones responsible for his death. They are being linked with various other crimes and have been referred to as the “panga gang” in the media.
The arrests comprised of four Mozambican nationals aged between 23 and 36, who are alleged to have been responsible for a number of gruesome criminal activities around the Nelspruit Cluster.
On January 13 at approximately 23:30, Bowers was asleep with his life partner, Ms Renate Wagner, when they heard some noise in the house. The couple was still trying to establish the origin of the noise when they suddenly saw a man in the house.
The suspects allegedly told police that they shot him and fled the scene with a television set and cellphones belonging to the couple. Immediately after the incident took place, the police and private security guards took hands in searching for the assailants without any success. However, they managed to recover the television set together with a firearm which the suspects have already confessed to have used in the murder of Bowers.
The suspects are also believed to be responsible for the attack of a family of five at the Lowveld National Botanical Garden last year. The family was casually walking when they were suddenly attacked by a group of men armed with pangas and robbed of their personal belongings.
The suspects are accused of more than 30 serious crimes which include house robberies, house break-ins, armed robberies and murder, wherein one of them has already been linked through finger prints by the Local Criminal Record Centre.
“These acts established fear within the community. We believe residents will now breathe a sigh of relief. However, we will not be fooled and think the suspects were responsible for all crimes in the Nelspruit Cluster, we still have other criminal elements within the community. I make a humble call to the community to continue working with the police in their quest to root out crime,” says the newly appointed provincial commissioner, Lt Gen Mark Magadlela.
The suspects are expected to conduct pointing outs today. They are though scheduled to appear before the Nelspruit Magistrate’s Court on Monday. Police have since recovered a 9mm pistol and three live rounds of ammunition from them. It also emerged that the suspects were posing as hawkers in the streets of Mbombela by day and hooligans during the night.
Magadlela commended the joint operation which comprised of Crime Intelligence and Gathering, Nelspruit Detectives, Provincial Tracking Team and the Pienaar Tactical Response Team (TRT) for a sterling job.

update: R50,000 reward to find killers of Nelspruit resident Clive Bowers:
Nelspruit - 16 Jan 2015 An Mpumalanga crime-fighting organisation has offered a reward of up to R50 000 for information leading to the successful arrest and prosecution of the murderers of White River resident Clive Bowers.
The unarmed Bowers, 60, was shot dead when intruders broke into his home at the Bundu Wildlife Estate, outside White River, on Tuesday, causing shock in the town's small community,
a Sapa correspondent reported.
According to the police, Bowers and his wife Renate Wagner were woken by a window breaking at 11.30pm.
He was reportedly fatally shot after pepper spraying an unknown number of intruders. The attackers fled with a television set and cellphones, which were later recovered by the police.
White River police spokeswoman Warrant Officer Gugu Phiri said there were no new leads in the case.
“Police are still investigating,” she said.
It was hoped the reward would help the police make arrests as soon as possible, Bossies Community Justice operational manager Jacques Meiring said on Friday.
Bossies Community Justice recently paid R50 000 to an informant for tip-offs about the whereabouts of a man suspected of raping and murdering White River veterinarian Rensia de Wet, 46, in December.
“Our organisation was put in place to assist the community in any way possible, no matter how big or small the crime, to ensure their safety,” said Meiring.
There have been several thefts of TV sets from homes in the Bundu Wildlife Estate in the past few months

urder -- committed by a gang which allegedly steals plasma TVs for their "muti' (phosphor) powder used in Nyaope drug cocktail
----------------------------
Smallholder Clive Bowers peppersprayed and shot by black male attackers at his Bundu Estates home, White River, Lowveld, South Africa.
----------------------------
Reported by: Nicolene Smalman and Johanri Coetzee, The Lowvelder:
14 January 2015 WHITE RIVER – A resident of Bundu Estate, Mr Clive Bowers, was murdered in his home last night.
According to provincial police spokesman Col Leonard Hlathi, an unknown number of suspects gained entry to his home at about 23:30 by breaking a sitting-room window.
“They surprised Bowers and sprayed him with pepper spray after which he was shot. He died later. It is not clear if his own firearm was used in the attack, ” Hlathi said.
Although Lowvelder has been informed that it was in fact Bowers who sprayed the intruders with pepper spray, Hlathi stood by the fact that, according to his information, the deceased was sprayed. The suspects fled with various stolen items, most of which were later recovered. This included a firearm.
Bowers’ wife, Ms Renate Wagner, was also in the house, but didn’t sustain any injuries.
She posted the following on her Facebook profile on September 18:
--- “beware: there is a gang of thugs out to steal flat screen TVs. They are after some kind of powder, which is coating a ‘card’ inside the TV, which they believe is a drug – total myth! We have had four TVs stolen on the Bundu Estate, ours included”.
Lowvelder went to the scene early this morning and found the Wagner couple’s domestic worker at the house. She said that she had been working for them for 24 years and that this had been the third time the couple had been targeted by criminals in their home.
“It was a terrible thing that happened. I cried when I spoke to the neighbours this morning,” she said. A security guard at the gate leading to the estate, said that “Bundu (estate) is a bad place” and that a lot of “tsotsi’s came there last year.
Hlathi is in the process of gathering more information to compile a media statement. He requested anyone with information to contact White River’s head of detectives, Lt Thokozane Zungu on 082-449-0334.

“JUST lie still and pretend you’re dead,” a desperate wife told her husband as he fell wounded to the ground.The intruders had just fired a second bullet that went straight into his chest. She was tightly clinging her daughter, trying to protect her from the bullets.“Please, please don’t hurt her, kill me instead.”These were the desperate and emotional words Louisa du Toit cried the night her husband, Stephan, was shot and killed by intruders.Du Toit was murdered in the bedroom of the family’s Norkem Park home in the early hours of Wednesday morning when three armed men gained entry into their complex at about 2am.The robbers were able to enter the complex by inserting sticks between the wall and electric fencing.Spokesman for Norkem SAPS, Capt Lesibana Molokomme, said the suspects entered the family’s unit through the kitchen, breaking through the burglar bars.They made their way through the home to the couple’s bedroom, where they were sleeping with their five-year-old daughter.A family member said Du Toit was woken by the dogs’ barking and got up to go quiet them down as he didn’t want them to wake his daughter.“Just then the men (suspects) switched on the bedroom lights and saw Stephan getting out of bed,” the family member recounted the event.Without a word of warning or demand for valuable items, one of the suspects shot at Stephan, hitting him in his left arm. He fell back onto the bed.Immediately a mother’s intuition kicked in and Louisa threw her body over her daughter, and pleaded with the suspects not to shoot her child and told them to kill her instead.The killers shot Stephan again, this time hitting him in the chest. He fell to the floor, at which point his wife told him to lie still and pretend he was dead.“They then asked for money and other valuable things. They took cell phones, two laptops (the one being the little girl’s toy laptop) and snatched Louisa’s silver necklace from her neck.”The men left the room. As if they hadn’t already tortured the family enough, one of the men turned back and shot Stephan in the back.According to reports, Louisa then got up and told Stephan she was going to get help. As she left the house through the back door, she saw a figure moving outside.
Thinking it was security, she called for help.“But unfortunately it was one of the suspects, who pointed his gun at her and she ran back inside the bedroom to hide until she was sure they had left.”She went outside again and screamed to neighbours for help, who were already up by then because of the noise.Stephan was still alive when paramedics arrived at the scene but they could not save his life.

Survives: Mansel Jackson, 34, saved from black male hijacker with rifle by his Jack Russel Ozzy
Hazeyview resident Mansel Jackson, 34, was saved by his Jack Russell Ozzy on Friday morning 13 Fb 2015. Jackson was driving nine-year-old Ozzy to the vet on Friday morning 06h30 to have him checked after stomach surgery because he kept picking at his stitches. 18km outside Hazeyview he stopped on the Sabie road when a black male with a rifle appeared and pushed it against his head. "He tried to pluck me out of the car but my safety belt stopped it. He screamed for me to release the buckle.' JACKSON suspects that the gunman didn't see Ozzie on the back seat. "Ozzy woke up and he literally climbed across me and bit the man on his arm. He got such a fright that he scrambled backwards, and I put down my foot on the accellerator and got out of there."
Jackson said even though the fiesty terrier had saved his life he still took him to the vet. However he was presented with a huge, juicy steak with the compliments of Hi-Tech Security to praise him for his courageous deed.

Call to stop paying taxes until ANC restores peace in South Africa by Transvaal Agricultural Union
Transvaal agricultural union: perhaps it's time for taxpayers to hold back taxes until peace returns to South Africa
Why should the taxpayers have to pay for the public demonstrations who have now spilled over also to Parliament?" asks TAU SA President, Mr. Louis Meintjes following the events of Pres. Jacob Zuma's State of the Nation Address. "Is it now perhaps time to look for ways to hold back taxes until order and service delivery has been restored from the lowest to the highest level of government.""The country is more and more changing into a democratic dictatorship," said TAU SA's General Manager, Mr. Bennie van Zyl. "While suggestions on land ceilings and other issues are still being prepared for submission in March this year the President unilaterally announces land ceilings and the abolition of the willing buyer, willing seller principle. Doing so he is finally deleting the so-called democratic process," said Mr. Van Zyl."In addition the principle of private ownership is negatively affected by land ceilings and other forms of interference in land purchases. To make announcements about issues that have not yet been properly discussed or debated shows the President’s absolute ignorance of agriculture and its value to the economy. He will soon enough realize what this will do to food security and investor confidence. The fall in the rand in the last few days should have been a good indication for him to take into consideration."
Mr. Van Zyl says he even sometimes got the impression that Mr. Zuma accidentally took last year's papers - there was nothing in his speech that seizes the imagination or give hope. It was a repetition of the old struggle rhetoric, and promises of improvement are sounding year after year more meaningless. Meanwhile the overall situation in the country deteriorates drastically because of government’s destroying of capacity and infrastructure by racially motivated laws like affirmative action and black economic empowerment, without taking ability and skills into consideration. He lacked leadership in a time of crisis. The ANC's policy environment is still preparing a scenario of destruction of the economy by sending out those wrong signals.
"Now all the country’s citizens have to sleep in this bed that has been made up by ANC. This is not sustainable nor acceptable," said Mr. Van Zyl."http://www.tlu.co.za

Survived: Marieta Kruger 71, ambushed, kicked on face, daughter in law Susara also attacked: 3 bm
Survived: January 31 2015 - Badly bruised Marieta Kruger 71, ambushed, kicked on her face, daughter-in-law Susara also attacked by 3 black males at Nylstroom farm:
- journalist: Ronél van Jaarsveld Pretoria News - 13 Feb 2015 Nylstroom: A brief visit to a girlfriend in the late afternoon left a nasty turn for 71-year-old Mrs Marieta Kruger 71, whose face was left badly bruised after 3 black males kicked her face after ambushing her upon her return home to the farm of her children Alwyn and Susara Kruger. The farm is located on the Kranskop road and the couple own the restaurant/boma Jagkamp (Hunting Camp).
It happened on Saterdag, 31 January 2015 as she drove into the garage, climbed out - and immediately was caught by three black males wearing balaclaves: one armed with a firearm, one with a handmade knife and the third with a thick steel-pipe. The old Afrikaans lady still tried to take the gunman's weapon away from him and was thrown roughly to the ground and kicked on her face by the attackers. Her daughter in law Susara was sick at home and in bed and heard her screaming. She rushed to help her thinking she may have fallen - and as she opened the door she also was attacked. The two Afrikaner women were dragged into the homestead."We had no cash in the house. I wept and told them to just take anything but to just not hurt us, "said Susara to "Die Pos' journalist who wrote the story. Strangely, the blacks weren't at all interested in the airgun or the .22 rifles (legally registered) but took laptops, wallets, cellphones and costume jewellery. The two woman were locked into the young Kruger couple's bedroom because it was the only room with a key in the door.
We waited a few minutes after they left and then used the brick which was in front of the door to bash a hole in the door so that we could escape. We had no cellphones left to call for help. I bought my new little car in December and feared that they would have stolen it. When they grabbed me in the garage I threw the key underneath the car. However the key and the car were still there and we drove to the Jagkamp where my son was and called the police from there.'
Die Pos writes that during their visit her body was still black and blue in places, her eye still blue and swollen as they had kicked her in the face. She had made a valiant attempt to cover her bruises with make up. The woman reportedly were shocked, but other wise unharmed. "We usually are so security conscious, with heavy burglar-bars everywhere but even our fierce little Jack Russell dog was peaceful this time,' said Susara. Warrant officer James Findlay of the Nylstroom (the ANC name is Modimolle) police is investigating only a charge of house robbery - not of attempted murder.

killed Mr Leon Christo Clur shot execution style in front of family at braai
Man shot execution style in front of family at braai
One of the suspects then shot Clur in the back of his head
Tereasa Ferrari and Nicolene Smalman | 4 February 2014 09:03
HECTORSPRUIT – A man was shot execution style in front of his wife while they were having a braai in their lapa on Sunday night. However, justice was served when the two men responsible were killed hours later.
Although this happened in town, another family was attacked on a smallholding outside Malalane on Friday. It is not clear at this stage whether the two incidents could be linked.
Mr Leon Christo Clur (age unknown) and his wife, Ms Marli Clur (47) were having a braai with the family at about 20:00 in Blackwood Street in Hectorspruit. According to Komatipoort police spokesman, Capt Sarie van der Walt, two men armed with firearms which looked like pistols, entered the lapa.
The suspects ordered the family to be quiet. Mr Clur engaged in a fight with the suspects, but they managed to push him to the floor. “One of the suspects then shot him in the back of his head,” Van der Walt said.
He lost consciousness immediately. Ms Clur asked the suspects to stop shooting, telling them they could take anything they wanted.
The men demanded money on which Ms Clur told them it was in the house. She took them inside and they took two laptops, two iPhones, Mr Clur’s wallet, a hunting rifle, shotgun and ammunition after which they fled the scene.
He was rushed to Mediclinic Nelspruit with a Securicon ambulance, but died yesterday.
Meanwhile, the suspects were being tracked by members of the police’s Crime Intelligence Gathering Unit, accompanied WO Jacques Nel and farmers Mr Nico Nel, Mr Riaan Lombaard and Mr Frans Ment.
They were parked next to a railway line under the bridge at the Marloth Park crossing when two men approached. WO Nel identified himself to the suspects and ordered them to stop. One of them pointed a shotgun at Nel and the farmers.
Nel and two of the farmers shot at them and both were killed. Two firearms, including a .38 revolver and a shotgun were found on the suspects.
Detective commander Capt Louis Stander confirmed that they were investigating the possibility that the suspects might have been responsible for an attempted hijacking earlier at 19:40.
The victim, Mr Colly Magagula of Vosloorus, was in a truck on the N4, preparing for a journey to Steelpoort, when three men appeared at the driver’s side.
One of the suspects was armed with a pistol, the other with a knife. The third suspect was standing at the back and wasn’t visible to Magagula.
He said the one with the firearm opened the driver’s side and tried to climb into the truck.
He demanded money, but Magagula pushed him down with the door and jumped out on the passenger’s side and ran to the Engen filling station for assistance. He injured his left knee in the process.
Meanwhile, Mr Pieter Slabbert (51) is in a stable condition in Mediclinic Nelspruit’s high care unit where he is being treated for multiple gunshot and stab wounds.
He and his family were attacked on a smallholding near Malalane on Friday afternoon.
Lowvelder spoke to his wife, Ms Lizette Slabbert. According to her, she and her husband and their 22-year-old daughter were in the kitchen with the back door open at around 16:45, when two men entered the house. Slabbert said the one attacker had a 9mm pistol and the other was armed with knives.
She said the men didn’t seem bothered about hiding their identities from the family as they weren’t camouflaged.
They immediately started shooting at the husband while the wife and daughter ran to the other rooms. She said when the attackers got hold of her, “they kept hitting me in the face and holding the gun against my head”.
Lizette stated that the men called them “white trash” and threatened to kill and eliminate them. She said they took all their phones and the laptop that was on the kitchen table.
“The one attacker shot at my husband four times but only two bullets struck him. After they had shot him, they stabbed him as well.”
Slabbert said she pleaded for her daughter as they were grabbing her by the hair, threatening to kill her too. She said they finally let go of them and suddenly left. Her daughter then hid in her room in a cupboard. “She had concealed her phone and called for help.”
Although still traumatised, she wanted to make sure that all the people that had helped them were thanked. “I want to say thank you to the police, Securicon Lowveld and the whole farming community who had so kindly helped us. “I also want to thank Lowveld Hospital which arranged with Mediclinic to admit my husband immediately as well as the ambulance staff,” said Lizette.
Mediclinic Nelspruit spokesman, Ms Lisa Pillay, confirmed that the vicitm was in a stable condition. Mpumalanga police spokesman, Sgt Gerald Sedibe, said a case of house robbery and attempted murder had been opened.
“The police did a sweep of the area and the nearby sugar-cane fields and found three laptops and clothes. We are still investigating who they belong to as not all of the items came from the Slabberts’ home.”
Sedibe said no suspects had yet been arrested and anyone with information should contact the investigating officer, Lt Pat Banda on 082-449-0291.

Several homeless men and women have been left with nothing but the clothes on their backs after the confiscation and disposal of their belongings – including cash.
Edmund Ellis, who sleeps in Masonic Road, with six others, including friends Jan Diedericks and Nick van Veen, said they had not experienced anything similar before.
They started sleeping in the area near the Addington Anglican Christ Church almost two months ago.
“We’ve never had any trouble with anyone, including the other people who sleep here. We keep to ourselves,” he said.
Ellis said a metro police vehicle and a municipal garbage compactor had stopped in the small avenue on Monday and their possessions were taken.
“They didn’t even ask. They just pulled the bedding out from under us.”
He said they normally kept their belongings and valuables in their bags and backpacks but transferred the small amounts of money and cellphones into their pillow cases to prevent theft during the night.
“Nick had R300, Jan had R500 and I had R450. We were doing odd jobs and begging to scrape that together so we could try to rent a place.
“Now hope of that is all gone,” he said.
Van Veen, who has a 3-year-old son, said he could not understand why they had been targeted.
“We don’t want any trouble,” he said.
The group had also hidden their blood pressure and epilepsy medication, obtained from King Dinuzulu Hospital, in their bedding.
“It’s all gone now and we need it. These are serious medical conditions,” he said.
Diedericks said the men in the vehicles had not been wearing uniforms.
“We were not charged with anything and were told we could not open a case. That makes no sense.”
Metro police spokesman, Senior Superintendent Eugene Msomi, told the Daily News he would have to question the officers on duty that night to find out what happened.
“What normally happens during these sweeps along the beachfront is that we enlist the help of other departments like Durban Solid Waste to help get rid of things that are blocking the roadway.”
He explained that the pavement was part of the roadway and sleeping on it was a violation of by-laws.
When asked about the money and belongings taken and disposed of, Msomi said he doubted “very much” that the group had any valuables.

Afrikaner homelessness, poverty: Destitute Putter couple and son, 7, walking to Pretoria to find safe haven since 1 Jan 2015
Afrikaner homelessness, poverty: Destitute, homeless Putter couple and son, 7, on the road, walking to Pretoria since 1 January 2015... without food, money or even a cellphone to call for help --
BLOEMHOF, Free State - Marna Blignaut issued a call for help on the Boere Krisis Aksie groep on Facebook, writing:
15 February 2015: "Dear Lord please have pity on our Nation. I was walking to Spar just now with my neighbour here in Bloemhof. Next to the Star at the Engen garage there were
these sun-burnt, rejected dad, mom and their seven-year old little son.
It felt as if my heart was torn from my chest when I saw the desperation in the eyes of the parents. I bought chips and a cooldrink for little Marius
and talked to the parents about their plight. They have been on the road with their son from the start of February, walking to Pretoria.
They have a bag with clothes with them and have no money, no food and no cellphone. I am fixing food for them now and will also five them water and fruit juice.
I live with my 12-year-old son in a one-roomed flat and no room to put up this family. Is there anybody who can help them?
Perhaps a ride to Kleinfontein - they are terrified that their child will be taken away from them. I can be contacted at 0612638494.
I contacted our local help society but the man who runs it is gone this weekend.
They are called Marius Putter, his wife Cecelia and little Marius.
15 February 2015.
- After the report was posted on the widely read Boere Krisis Aksie group on Facebook, there was overwhelming response leading to the Bloemhof community standing together to provide a safe haven and hot baths
for the family.

Summary from report by Mike van Rooyen and Alzane Narrain, Saturday 14 February 2015:
Afrikaans: "Moordenaar vertel hoe weduwee probeer vlug het
Deur Mike van Rooyen en Alzane Narrain Saterdag 14 Februarie 2015 23:04
Die skokgebeure oor hoe die bejaarde Elsabeth du Bruyn van Brandfort in die donker vir haar moordenaars probeer wegvlug het en toe vermoor is,
het nou die eerste keer in die Vrystaatse hooggeregshof uitgekom.
Sy het gespartel en gesoebat dat hulle haar nie moet doodmaak nie. Sy het in Sesotho met die twee mans gepraat en vir hulle geld aangebied,
het regter Corné van Zyl uit die twee moordenaars se monde gehoor.
Sy het Zuma Sekhonyane (35) en Mohau Leseha (24) albei aan die moord en die rooftog op die 71-jarige weduwee die nag van 5 September 2013 skuldig bevind.
Sekhonyane is ook aan die onwettige besit van Du Bruyn se geroofde vuurwapen en ammunisie skuldig bevind.
Die twee word aanstaande Vrydag gevonnis.
Leseha het ter strafversagting getuig hoe hulle in die donker gestaan het toe Du Bruyn by haar agterdeur uitkom.
Toe sy hulle sien, het sy probeer om terug in die huis te kom, maar hulle het haar ingehardloop en toe Sekhonyane haar gryp, het sy by die agterdeur geval.
Sekhonyane het haar mond met sy hand toegedruk terwyl Leseha haar voete met haar japongordel en haar hande met haar voorskoot vasgebind het.
Sy het gespartel en probeer loskom.
“Sy het geskop, daarom het ek gesukkel om haar bene vas te maak.”
Hy het getuig: “Sy het gevra ons moet haar nie doodmaak nie. Sy het gesê sy sal vir ons geld gee.”
Sekhonyane het ’n sokkie in haar mond gedruk en dit met ’n sykous vasgebind.
Leseha het getuig hulle het haar van die kombuis na die huis se gang gedra.
In haar slaapkamer was die twee kluise oop. Hy het nie geld daarin gekry nie. In ’n laai het hy ’n koevert met R350 in gekry. Hy het dit in ’n rooi handsak gesit.
Toe hy weer by haar kom, het hy gesien sy haal nie meer asem nie. Hy het sowat vyf minute vir haar gekyk. Toe sê hy hulle moet gaan.
Adv. Amanda Bester, vir die staat, het aan hom gestel dat hulle haar opsetlik doodgemaak het omdat hulle nie maskers gedra het nie.
Leseha: “Ja, sy sou ons later herken het, as sy ons weer sou sien. Ek het nie eens daaraan gedink om haar dood te maak nie.”
Adv. Oupa Makhene tree vir Sekhonyane op en Masilo Koenane vir Leseha.

I am an epilepsy sufferer and 2 witnesses later gave details of the following account.
I had an epileptic seizure in the back of the police van, when the police officers saw me they dragged we out of the van by my ankles and dropped me on the ground,

Survives attack, 'Treurgrond' farm-attack movie farm attacked by six black gunmen who hold Markus Schenker, 52 hostage
Farm used in movie 'Treurgrond' about the farm-murders in South Africa attacked by six-member armed black gang:
It was reported on February 15 2015 from Tarlton west of Johannesburg that the farm belonging to 76-year-old Piet Schutte, who lives on his farm Churisuél, was attacked by six black gunmen who held his son-in-law Markus schenker, 52 at gunpoint.
Since Schutte's cattle is being rustled at such a high rate and his farm has been attacked at least eight times - the previous time he had chased off a gang of gunmen in November -- that he doesn't bother to run cattle any more, Schutte and partner Markus Schenker 52 now run a nots-and-bolts store on the farm and deliver them to customers. Schenker is Schutte's son-in-law and and the store headquarters- which sells and delivers bolts and nuts - was attacked and Schutte was held at gunpoint.
Schenker said luckily Mr Schutte wasn't there when the store was attacked. "I had driven in and went to the store to upload another order om my bakkie and there they were in the house, tossing around contents from cupboards and so on.
That's why I didn't see them when I drove in. I was looking into the barrels of revolvers and pistols and certainly couldn't remember the faces staring at me.'
The six gunmen pulled off Mr Schenker's shoes, tied up his hands and feet and dragged him to the homestead.
They had been busy carving the company's safe with a grinder from the wall, said Schenker.
They stole the keys to his bakkie, his watch and some R3000 in cash and then tossed him down underneath a pile of blankets.
The bakkie wasn't 'robbed'- it was abandoned after they used it to transport the safe to their own vehicle.
Schutte said if he'd been there he would have been dead, because back in November last year he personally drove off a large gang from his farm.
He's walking barefoot all the time and next to his shorts he has a 9mm pistol strapped to his side. "Last time they only stole my computer but this time they wanted me, that's why there were more of them. You know I'm not as calm as Markus.
I would have kicked one of them in the goolies or something. Then he would most certainly have shot me.'
He no longer farms with livestock. 'Too much of my cattle and sheep have already been rustled here'.
Chrisuél has already been used eight times in advertisements and movies: Scenes from the Afrikaans movie 'The ballad of Robbie de Wee" were also filmed there.
Treurgrond's reportedly gruesome opening scenes were fiomed at his farm: the film, released in May this year, sets to theme of the story by showing
the bodies - or rather the body parts - of an elderly Afrikaner farm couple strewn inside the homestead after the farmers were murdered.
The leading roles are played by well-known Afrikaans singer/actor Steve Hofmeyr and actress Jana Strydom plays the role of a detective who is investigating the murder.

Survive: Shoppers Samantha Hewitt, Natalie du Plessis a.o. saved by manager of Spar market when black gang with AK47's shoots at cash-van
Manager of Spar store rushes shoppers to safety when blacks with AK47s storm cash-transit van outside his Spar supermarket, Valhalla, Pretoria, South Africa
15 February 2015 - Valhalla shoppers called for help while hiding out in a Spar storeroom while three armed men robbed cash-in-transit guards outside the supermarket on Sunday.
Eyewitness Samantha Hewitt said she was at the entrance of the supermarket when she saw an armed man tussle with the guard. “I saw the robber fighting with the guard for the cash. The robber then fired shots at the guard but he wasn’t injured,” she told Rekord.
Hewitt said the shop was closed immediately and shoppers were rushed upstairs to the storeroom for safety.
Another witness, Natalie Du Plessis, said she was in the shop with her family when she heard gunshots and people yelling.
“I heard an AK47 release four or five shots. The Spar doors slammed and the manager warned us we will be shot and we went to the storeroom and started calling and SMSing for help,” she said.
Du Plessis said shoppers remained locked in the storeroom while the armed men proceeded to rob the liquor store next door.
According to Hewitt and Du Plessis, the armed men fled in the cash-in-transit van.
“They used the cash-in-transit van as their getaway car and even bumped into another car in the parking lot,” Hewitt said.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Wanda Olivier said the robbers fled in a white Audi.
“It is alleged the cash-in-transit guards were approached by three armed suspects in the parking area. They fled in a white Audi with an undisclosed amount of money. Nobody was injured,” she said.
Olivier said a case of armed robbery was investigated.

Randburg Police charged with assault of epileptic woman Lana Stander
Randburg Police charged with assault
KENSINGTON B – Randburg Police now have charges laid against them, after a woman's Valentine’s Day ordeal.
Nicholas Zaal 16 February 2015 12:00
According to Lana Stander and witnesses who submitted statements, four Randburg Police officers assaulted her while she was awake and more did so while she was unconscious. She was dumped in the back of a police van and when she suffered an epileptic attack, two witnesses later stated that she had been dragged from the van and onto the ground while the cops were dancing a victory dance (toyi-toyi) around her, laughing and insulting her while she desperately needed help. She suffered two epileptic attacks but the police did not help her.
In a dramatic turnaround, the State has withheld its decision to charge Stander with driving under the influence (she had tested negative for alcohol in her blood), and reckless and negligent driving, after she laid charges against National Police Commissioner General Riah Phiyega for theft and assault by Randburg Police officers after the arrest, and revealed medical evidence that she was sober.
Stander was falsely arrested on 14 February after a car hit her. She was tested negative for blood-alcohol but the cops still arrested her. She was roughly handled. The epilepsy sufferer had an epileptic attack. The handcuffed woman was was driven to a site where they beat and kicked her. She wrote on her own facebook page with accompanying pictures that she was bruised and scarred from their assaults.
“When on of the police officers attempted to hit me again I defended myself by hitting her with the handcuffs and so blocking another attack,” she said.
The officers then drove her to Randburg Police Station and left her in the back of the van while they slept in the front seats. After they allegedly threatened her again, Stander had another seizure.
She claims that although she was unconscious, two witnesses can verify that the officers dragged her out the van and danced around her.
Stander was taken to the holding cells at the station, where she was allegedly denied a phone call, and told that she could not take medication for her condition because she was drunk. When she was finally released, her friend Bernhard Bekker helped her lay the charges at Linden Police Station. Bekker said at court that 14 of Stander’s human rights were violated, ranging from brutal assault and torture to refusing medication for an illness such as epilepsy. They said that they will also lay civil charges for these.
Rand Randburg Police Warrant Officer Johannes Maja was contacted and comment is awaited. Details: Randburg police 011 449 9000.o

Farmers and farms in Middelburg under threat from crime-gangs in new township of Somapepa
Dropping food-production and 300 job losses: Four commercial farmers including Johan Ligthelm and Anton Coetzee, warned the ANC-run municipality of Middelburg Mpumalanga in advance not to build a new township on a farm they had bought - and which is surrounded by their four productive farms: Now the production of four farms are being steadily destroyed and Africa's largest peach-orchard, Ligthelm's Peach Orchards, no longer produce any peaches for the commercial market. Last year's crop went into the bellies of Somalela township residents who even stole his new saplings and replanted them in their own front gardens...
http://mobserver.co.za/25131/boere-het-gewaarsku-2/
The organised criminal gangs in the new township of Somapepa - where a drugs-problem is also being reported - have been looting their crops and livestock at such a steady pace that there was no commercial peach-production from Johan Ligthelm's farm last year - not one peach from his crop was sold on the commercial market.
"It's over, only a miracle can still save us,' he said.
---------------------------
From 98 years ago, Jan Ligthelm's grandparents and parents developed the 500-hectare Ligthelm Peach Orchards in Middelburg - now this third-generation peach farm has been destroyed by criminal gangs:
Speaking to Middelburg Observer journalist Daleen Naudé, he shows one of the deep holes dug beneath the fences which surround his peach orchards.He's given up peach farming: last year's crop, costing R4,5m in wages to harvest and maintain the trees, was completely looted: his cattle now eat the peaches from the neglected trees. This orchard was the largest in Africa and produced tons of peaches each year.
http://mobserver.co.za/25127/grootste-boord-afrika-vernietig --
Headline in Middelburg Observer by Daleen Naude: "Grootste boord in Afrika vernietig"
------------------
South Africa used to export huge quantities of dried and canned peaches and the Ligthelm peaches were popular with South African consumers.
Now, the owner of what was Africa's largest peach-orchard, Johan Ligthelm,
told the local Middelburg Observer that criminals have managed to destroy his farm completely over the past three years.
And he and his family also are living under constant threat of being murdered by the gangs from the new Somapepa township next door - who want the 500-hectare peach-orchard land to graze their cattle on.
The township residents also looted his newly-planted saplings and replanted them in their own front gardens... last year he didn't sell one peach: suffering R5,4million losses paid out in wages and investing in saplings, he said.
The Production of 4 productive farms in the Middelburg area are thus being destroyed by crime-gangs, wrote Daleen Naudé in the Middelburg Observer.
(Original articles are in Afrikaans. We translated them to English)
By Daleen Naude -- 16 February 2015 Owner Johan Ligthelm of Ligthelm Peach Orchards shows one of the many holes in the fencing dug by organised gangs of peach-thieves from the new Somapepa township next door. They have destroyed the farm completely because they stole their income: their harvests.
Now the thugs crawl beneath the fences to come and steal the peaches rotting on the trees."The LIgthelm peaches disappeared because the municipality built a black township right next the largest peach-farm in Africa,' he said.He's tired of trying to catch thieves crawling through the holes in the fences dragging crates of peaches with them.Thieves cut the cables and steal his farm-implements, and plundered his store. Thieves who even dug up the new trees and planted them in their own front gardens next door'.
And he's tired of living in constant fear from the criminal gangs next door: "I am their target and once they've killed me off, they will also have 500 hectares of land for their cattle.
It's a constant daily battle. Every morning when we wake up things have been stolen.He took journalist Daleen Naude through his orchards, telling how his grandparents started the farm 98 years ago.
He was paid 10 shillings for the very first crate of peaches he had harvested from his first Alberta peach-tree as a ten-year-old, he said. Everything is being looted ever since the municipality decided to build the large township right in the middle of commercial farms.
The looting and destruction started three years ago - but this past year was the worst. "The thieves just come in with the pickers and when they are caught,
they jump right across an eight-foot-deep hole they'd dug underneath the fencing and run off - or flee in a taxi.
They also start picking before daylight and manage to pack 18 bags of peaches into a taxi which always waits for them next to the road,' said Ligthelm.
After he suffered R5,4million losses from the peach-looting he decided that he wasn't going to harvest any peaches any more."I wasn't going to waste money to pay workers to keep the trees trimmed and thinned out and just put the cattle in the orchards to eat the peaches from the trees.
My livestock is fattening up nicely,' he said.
Ligthelm: "I am now contributing unwittingly to an approaching famine (when all the commercial farms are gone): 300 people now don't have seasonable jobs'.
He only has a few fulltime farm workers looking after the animals in the orchards. Due to the constant danger of armed farm attackers who want to kill him,
Mr LIgthelm bought horses for the herders to guard the cattle.
He said he doesn't believe he will ever be able to sell peaches on the market again - and to start somewhere else all over again will cost about R50-million - because that's the value
of this developed farm you see here in front of you,' he told journalist Daleen Naude.
He said he spent 16 months working 16 hours a day to build the water-storage dam on the property, for instance."My hands have been cut off: we can't celebrate our 100th anniversary of Ligthelm Orchards here. We will never be able to trade in peaches here again and now just stay here in our own
prison. The LIgthelm Peach Orchards are destroyed. It's over. Just a miracle could still save us.'

Survived: son of Afrikaner farmer Chris Victor chases armed black gang off with air-gun: saves dad's life
Son saved dad Chris Victor's life from farm-attackers on Postmasburg farm: chased them off with airgun
By Beeld newspaper journalist André Damons
Monday 16 February 2015 The son of Chris Victor of the farm Kareepan 2km outside Postmasburg saved his dad's life by coming to his rescue when dad was ambushed by an armed black gang
at around 08h00 at his farm gate on Saturday. Victor had driven his bakkie to the gate and was attacked by the gunmen with balaclavas, said Lt Andrea Cloete of the police.
sy pa se redding gekom toe hulle op ’n plaas buite Postmasburg aangeval is.
When Victor's dogs started barking his son charged from the homestead with an airgun - and this caused the Heroes of the Revolution to drive off in the farmer's bakkie - at high speed.
It was found abandoned later next to the highway. Victor lost R5,000 and his cellphone but he survived the attack.
it's being claimed that the attackers fled into the veld but the police didn't find them and nobody was arrested.
