Survive: Dairy farm couple Flip and Christa Venter saved from 4 black farm-attackers with pre-arranged code word

Farm attack thwarted by pre-arranged ‪#‎code‬-word: farm couple's lives saved: Farmer Flip Venter 69 and wife Christa of Bulbergfontein, Reddersburg, had pre-arranged a code in case they were ever attacked. Just minutes after the couple were attacked in the early-morning hours on Sunday morning, the farmer yelled their pre-arranged code word to his wife Christa while four black men - two with weapons- were frog-marching him with a gun to his head into their homestead. They had grabbed him from his bakkie when he was going to fetch his workers to milk the cows. Christa knew at once things were wrong, grabbed her .38 special revolver, jumped barefooted from their bed and fired at the blacks threatening her husband, still wearing her night-clothes. The code saved their lives because two of the four attackers fled at once. She had first fired a warning shot into the ceiling, ordering the men to let go of her husband. Mr Venter had just climbed into his bakkie to fetch the workers to milk the cows when he was plucked from his bakkie by the blacks - who demanded money. When Flip shouted the code-word he also yelled at Christa to stay in the bedroom but she wasn't going to let the men kill her husband and fired the shot into the ceiling. "By God's grace we were unharmed. The good Lord was good to us,' she reportedly said. She doesn't know where she got the willpower from. "I'm just a boer woman, I'm neither strong nor brave. I think the Heavenly Father was with us'. #BoereKrisisAksie FB
