Taken were goats and sheep valued at R320 000-00 [sic], or about $17,000 USD.

The owner of the livestock is a 79-year-old farmer who was sleeping when the raid began at about 3 a.m. The farmer was aroused by men claiming to be chasing thieves. When the farmer opened his door, he was met with a rifle.
