• This is the third farm attack on the farm in 2015. During a previous attack, the farmer and his wife were held at gunpoint by six armed gunmen.

Boere het dwars deur die nag na die oorblywende aanvallers gesoek wat die Du Toit gesin Dinsdagoggend op hul plaas in die Laersdrift omgewing oorval het.

A fifth suspect has been arrested this morning (Wednesday) in connection with a foiled farm attack on Tuesday

Boere het dwars deur die nag na die oorblywende aanvallers gesoek wat die Du Toit gesin Dinsdagoggend op hul plaas in die Laersdrift omgewing oorval het.


Police on the scene on a farm in the Laersdrift area in Limpopo say that an estimated 11 suspects are connected with the attack.
Two vehicles, a Toyota Quantum taxi and a Toyota Corolla, arrived on the farm, with the occupants posing as cattle buyers. They started shooting at the farmer and one of his workers but fled when they encountered that the farmer was armed and able to fire back. 

Neighbouring farmers succeeded in blocking the gravel road leading to the farm. A shootout erupted between the attackers and the farmers. This caused the attackers to leave their vehicles behind and flee on foot into the nearby bush.
Upon closer inspection, one of the attackers were found heavily wounded inside the Corolla.
A massive search party, consisting out of more than 100 farmers from as far as Ohrigstad and police officers searched the veld for the remaining suspects.
By sunset two more suspects were arrested. A source on the scene confirmed that a total of five suspects are currently being held in connection with the attack.
