Speaker Thandi Modise Appeals For Dismissal Of Animal Abuse Case Against Her Despite Testimony From Veterinarian!

Posted on Leave a comment

Adv. Dali Mpofu, legal representative for Thandi Modise, speaker of parliament, has brought an application for dismissal in the animal abuse case against her, when the case resumed in the Potchefstroom Regional Court, after testimony from a veterinarian and a former employee on her farm was heard yesterday. In a surprising twist, Mpofu asked the court to acquit Modise on the basis of insufficient evidence to link her to the abuse case.

The defense may bring such an application after the prosecution has closed their case, in terms of Section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Act. The damning testimony of Tebogo Mokaedi, the last farm worker to work on Modise’s farm in North West province, where hundreds of animals died in 2014, was claimed to be lies by a fellow witness.

Mokaedi had testified the day before that he had worked on Modise’s farm for about two months, but that he had only been paid R200 at the time. He further submitted that feed was only delivered to the

TOTAL FAILURE! Three Elderly Sisters Attacked & Stabbed AFTER Informant Warns Farmer & Police that Stock Thieves are Going to Attack Them!

Posted on Leave a comment

Three elderly sisters, aged 79, 74 and 71 respectively, who stay alone on a farm in the Tierpoort area outside Bloemfontein were attacked and assaulted in their home on Thursday evening 29 April, 2021. A farmer in the area has admitted to Netwerk24 that an informant warned him before the farm attack that the sisters would soon be attacked by the same attackers who stole 60 sheep from him.

Extra safety precautions like safety gates were then installed as a result of the warning and the Parkweg Police station was informed, yet despite the increased safety measures the farm attackers got in? Did the workers of the sisters maybe assist in the attack by giving out information?

A spokesperson for the Police said that the sisters were sitting in the house when 3 black males with balaclavas on entered the  house at around 20:00. It is unknown how they gained entry to the house.

The attackers started to beat the defenseless frail old women with knobkieries and also st

ANC Regime Misuses #COVID19 To Expose Farmers To Harm, Attacks & Stock Theft by Banning Farm Patrols in Remote Rural Areas! Deliberate?

Posted on Leave a comment

#CCPvirus: South African farmers are now at the mercy of barbaric livestock raiders, crop thieves, poachers and farm attackers while minister Bheki Cele, closely surrounded by his bodyguards, bans farm watch patrols by farmers themselves. Farmers across South Africa are reporting that livestock and crop raiders are slowly carrying their livestock and crops away whilst the same ANC regime, that demands that farmers feed the nation, fails to protect them, even preventing them from conducting patrols in groups to try to protect their property, crops and livestock.

The need for farm watch patrols is now more important than ever but the minister of Police, Bheki Cele, has now prohibited farm watch patrols as part of the government’s Chinese Corona virus lockdown regulations. Farmers, especially in the Free State, recently reported that their mealies are stolen off their lands and carried off in bags to the townships, to be sold and consumed. Now a gruesome video which wa

Farmers do not take nonsense; scared stock thieves flee to police station after failed stock theft attempt

Posted on Leave a comment

Wild chase of thieves ends in Parys police station with a group of farmers briefly on their heels after a failed stock theft attempt.

A farmer and Pastor of the AGM Church in Vredefort Juan Greef became aware on the evening of Friday 20 December 2019 that about 100 sheep were stolen on his farm. Farmers in the vicinity of the S80 road at Vredefort were warned earlier that cattle thieves were planning to loot sheep.

Greef reported the incident to the Vredefort Dome’s community policing forum, after which members blocked off roads in an attempt to find the cattle thieves.

According to Greef, the thieves drove the sheep through 5 farms, but as far as they walked, they lost some of the sheep.

According to Network 24, a suspicious pickup truck was spotted in the area around 4:50 a.m. Saturday, during which farmers ordered the driver to stop. These 19 sheep from Juan Greeff were closed under a tarpaulin on the back of a bakkie. Greeff says some of them a

Barbaric Raids On SA Farms Continue – 11 hind leg tendons cut off sheep during latest farm invasion! Live stock and produce stolen on regular basis

Posted on Leave a comment

212 sheep were stolen on Thursday night on the farm Esperanza between Welkom and Odendaalsrus.

The farm belongs to Mr Jan Bezuidenhout. He discovered the theft around 0600 on Friday morning. He found his Jack Russell that guards the sheep dead, strangled to death with a wire.

Mr Bezuidenhout subsequently found 11 of his sheep of which the hind leg tendons were cut off. There were many lambs amongst the missing sheep and in follow up operations with the Police a number of sheep and lambs were found back, amongst others in a squatter camp outside Odendaalsrus, but no arrests were made.

Mr Bezuidenhout told Netwerk24 that in December 46 cattle were stolen from him, in February 46 goats and in April 40 sheep, and now he has to deal with the latest loss. His mealies and ripe sunflowers are also stolen from his farm on a regular basis.

WATCH VIDEO | Clifton Beach: Savages slaughter sheep during ritual sacrifice on the shores of the Cape in protest action to cleanse the beach of racism

Posted on Leave a comment

A day of activism at Clifton Beach descended into acrimony after a group of protesters marked the occasion by slaughtering a sheep at the Cape Town tourist hot-spot.

Demonstrators had gathered in their hundreds during Friday, to take action against the alleged racist employment of a private security company on one of Clifton’s secluded beaches.

Clifton Beach: Reasons for protest
Those affected were mainly people of colour, and even included local ANC figure Faiez Jacobs. They were shifted on by the PPA firm earlier this week, in what has been described as an “affront” to citizens’ rights.

Activists say the offering was a way to call on their ancestors to respond to the trauma.

Local media reported that the meat from the animal would be braaied after the ritual was complete.

Masixole Mlandu said it’s time black people defend their right to spaces such as these: “(But) also we’re here to remind the country of
