"She broke both her arms and wrists, several fingers and her right palm were crushed. My mother-in-law Isabel's arm was damaged, a finger on her left-hand is crushed and she has open wounds'. A R10,000 cash reward is offered for anyone providing information which will lead to the arrest and imprisonment of an unnamed long-time worker who attacked Phyllis and Isabel Mansfield . The two women's ordeal started shortly after day-break after the husband and wife had their 'alone-time' at breakfast before their little girl Annabelle, 3, wakes up. After Annabelle woke up she wanted to go the stables with her mom and their dogs to let the horses out. "Then I heard the dogs raising a loud barking and my wife screaming'. Just afterwards little Annabelle showed up at the kitchen door - covered in blood. Snyman said he initially thought his wife was attacked by the dogs but soon realised that his wife was hit with a steel pipe and then dragged to an empty stable where the black male attacker apparently planned to assault her further. Snyman had rushed to the bedroom to FETCH HIS PISTOL and then ran around the house to find his daughter - but instead came across his mother-in-law Isabel Mansfield, covered in blood. She was assaulted by the same man with a metal pipe after she went to investigate the noise from the dogs and her daughter's screams. The panic-stricken grandmother shouted the attacker's name while Snyman took her to the kitchen. He found his wife in an empty horse-stall, semi-unconscious and covered in blood. His wife repeatedly said the attacker's name before she passed out in the kitchen where Snyman had taken her. Just then little Annabelle appeared behind him when he opened the kitchen door. The terrified Snyman then locked himself, his daughter, wife and grandmother inside the house and contacted the EPR's armed reaction unit before taking the two woman to the emergency department of the Netcare Krugersdorp Hospital with his daughter. Little Annabelle was given trauma treatment and during the 'play-acting session' it became clear to the adults that the child had seen everything, that she had hidden in an empty horse-stall which contained saw-dust bales, and that she too was able to identify the attacker as the man who had worked for the family for a long time. Isabel Mansfield was released from hospital after she received treatment and is now recovering at home. Her daughter Phyllis is still in hospital after surgery. “My wife was in surgery for seven hours. She broke both her arms and wrists, several fingers and her right palm also were crushed.' Snyman said he believed the black worker launched the attack in revenge. He worked for the family for about 18 years and recently received a final legal notice to vacate the Snyman's smallholding. The suspect has fled. Snyman thanked everyone who came to their rescue, EPR, the private hospital personnel, the staff at the child's kindergarten, and a 'very special thank you to Colonel Meyambo of the Tarlton SAPS.' A R10,000 reward has been offered for anyone who provides information which would lead to the arrest of the black male suspect.
