FARM ATTACK: Another South African farmer attacked and brutally tortured on his farm this week.
Cattle farmer, Donovan Marx, from the North West province, had his ears cut off on Wednesday morning during a farm attack.
He was also shot in the shoulder and stabbed (with a sharp object) in the leg.
And, for the umpteenth time, as far as I can determine, not a single article on any English media platform about it. This gross coverage disparity between the Afrikaans and English media when it comes to farm murders is what makes it possible for so many politicians and commentators to get away with their disgusting farm murder denialism.
You know what's even more infuriating? History and research shows, if the victim was black and the torturers were white, we would see this story on every front page and news channel for weeks. Debates, panel discussions, political party statements - the works! The president would even come out and condemn the attack.
Again, I refuse to accept the twisted, psychopathic standard that dismisses a farmer having his ears cut off as "just normal crime."

This famous horse trainer in South Africa was beaten inhumanely with a shovel then tide up with copper wire, strangled with a cable and then executed.
This happened on Easter weekend!
South African farmers are not being killed in South Africa they are be slaughtered and tortured in the most horrific ways known to humanity.
All this is inspired by the song
“kill the Boer”

White farmers in South Africa are not simply being murdered they are being tortured in some of the most horrific ways possible in order to fear monger neighboring farmers so that the South African government can easily expropriate their land without compensation.
These are crimes against humanity

There have been six farm attacks in South Africa in the past week. On average, there is still almost one violent attack per day on a farm in our country. Nothing normal about that.
Farm attacks in South Africa: (22–29 March 2026)
1. 20 March – Fochville, Gauteng
A 73-year-old businessman and five workers were attacked by seven armed suspects. The owner was assaulted and shot at (shots missed), while workers were tied up and locked in a storeroom.
2. 24 March – Fochville, Gauteng
A family was attacked on a farm. The owner and his son were shot, while his wife and daughter were assaulted. The suspects fled with the family’s vehicle, which was later recovered with some stolen items.
3. 25 March – Vaalwater, Limpopo
A man was shot in the arm and leg during an attack. Suspects stole cash and cellphones before fleeing. The victim was hospitalised.
4. 25 March – Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape
An elderly couple (71 and 77) was murdered on their farm in The Crags. It seems the male victim was attacked while sleeping, and his wife was killed while trying to protect him. One suspect has been arrested.
5. 26 March – Kameeldrift East, Gauteng
Male victim was murdered on a smallholding. Signs of a struggle were found, with facial injuries and a gunshot wound. A firearm, brush cutter, and electronic equipment were stolen.
6. 29 March – Marlena AH, North West
Two suspects threatened a victim with a firearm and stole cellphones and electronic equipment. No injuries were reported. @afriforum

⭕️WARNING GRAPHIC⭕️
A 50-year-old woman is recovering after a violent farm attack near Coligny in which she was allegedly ambushed while walking back from horse stables about 500 metres from the farmhouse. According to the report, she was struck more than ten times with an iron pipe, nearly lost consciousness, and then turned onto her back and kicked repeatedly in an apparent attempt to survive. Despite her injuries, she managed to make it back to the house and alert her husband.
Her husband immediately raised the alarm and farmers from the surrounding area reportedly responded quickly to assist. The farm owner also helped to get her to hospital in Klerksdorp. The victim is now recovering physically, but the trauma remains severe, especially because the attacker is still not in custody.
What is equally troubling is the family’s account of the police response. They say police and the dog unit were on the scene on Tuesday evening, but left when it started raining. They further allege that, despite repeated enquiries, the victim’s statement had still not been properly taken and there had been little to no meaningful communication afterwards. The family says they have been left with silence while vital time and possible evidence were lost.
Police have confirmed that a case of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm was opened and that the victim’s statement still had to be obtained. The report also notes that police initially issued incorrect details about both the date of the attack and the victim’s age before later correcting it. No suspect has yet been arrested.
This case raises two serious issues. First, the brutal reality of violent attacks in rural areas. Second, the continued failure of policing follow-up, victim communication and basic investigative urgency. When someone is nearly beaten to death and the attacker is still free while the family struggles even to get feedback, the system is not serving victims properly. IC

These farm attacks happen every week in South Africa. They are ethnically motivated attacks born of hatred and envy against defenseless Afrikaners in remote areas. It must stop!

This is Uncle Hendrik Venter (81) from Kuruman in the Northern Cape, South Africa. He is the most recent South African farmer to be murdered in cold blood. Almost 3000 South African farmers have been killed in South Africa in the last 30 years - most in brutal ways that often include torture. Today there are less than 30 000 commercial farmers left in South Africa, a country with a population of more than 60 million people.
These killings will go on as long as Government officials and Political Leaders call white farmers ‘land thieves’ and sing songs like kill the boer.

POLICE UNCOVER SUSPECTED MILITARY TRAINING BASE IN WHITE RIVER, ARREST 95 FOREIGN NATIONALS
@SAPoliceService
The South African Police Service (SAPS) in Mpumalanga, working together with the ProvJoint structure, including the Department of Home Affairs and other role players like Police Intelligence, have uncovered a suspected military training base in White River and apprehended 95 foreign nationals in connection with the discovery.
Acting Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Major General (Dr) Zeph Mkhwanazi, convened the Provincial Joint Structures (ProvJoints) two days ago after receiving intelligence information about the suspected camp.
This led to a joint operation being carried out today, Friday 26 July 2024, resulting in the raid and subsequent arrests.
The place, which was initially designated as a training site, appears to have been converted into an illegal military training base.
The 95 individuals taken into custody are all Libyan nationals and are currently being questioned by the relevant authorities.
"We take any threat to the security and stability of our province and country very seriously," said Major General Mkhwanazi. "
“This operation demonstrates our commitment to acting swiftly and decisively against any activities that could undermine our national interests and ensure the safety of our citizens because that is our primary mandate."
The investigation is still ongoing, and further details will be provided as they become available. The SAPS would like to assure the public that there is no immediate threat to community safety.
Anyone with information about similar or related activities is urged to contact the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111 or submit tips via the MYSAPSAPP. All information will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.

Please keep the victim that survived and her family in your prayers.
Thank you to our Cullinan CPF Community in Blue Patrollers who assisted on the scene, and also thank you to SAPS and GPG for the quick response.

This wonderful couple who are good friends of my family was attacked on their farm near Tzaneen over the weekend. Oom Dawid is 84 years old and tannie Liesbet is 79.
They were tied up, kicked and beaten over the head and in the face with an iron rod. Tannie Liesbet was dragged around in the house.
The attackers wanted the keys to the safe but oom Dawid has Alzheimers and didn't know where it was, so they kept beating him. Fortunately, they survived.
Growing up in Tzaneen, I often visited them on the farm and I have always had the utmost respect for them.
There remains two unanswered questions:
1) What kind of barbarian would attack and torture an innocent elderly couple like this?
2) Why is this not universally condemned? There's hardly any news about this in the in English speaking media.

SWITZERLAND IS THE FIRST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO BAN MAMMOGRAPHY
Screening services are also suspended in parts of Canada, Italy, Scotland, and Australia 👍
— 50-60% of "positive" results are incorrect! So being diagnosed with
"breast cancer" in 50-60% of cases proves it was not even there at all.
— upon examination, the breast is compressed with a large weight of 10 кРа (1019 kg/m2) & then a healthy, very sensitive mammary tissue is bombarded with radioactive radiation!
— stimulates tumor growth & spread of metastases!
— study done at 690,000 records show that a large number of breast cancer in completely healthy women after mammography!!!
♥️Please read & share this document far & wide so that we can educate others!

What was Planned and what the building looked like just before tragedy struck. On an otherwise glorious day.
Anyone else recall seeing THIS on TV News a few months ago?

Could cheap shit cement mixed with too much water and too little aggregate (in the interests of building profitability) perhaps be a factor?
