Some of these farm attacks are black-on-black, though the victims may be employed by whites.
Six thieves stole 150 cattle, reports say.
Three attackers entered the home and stole a number of household items valued at R147, 650, or nearly $8,000. One rand is valued at about five and half cents in U.S. currency.
Reports say the thieves entered the home while the victim was asleep.
No injuries were noted and it is not known if the victim was the owner or a worker.
Cash and clothes were stolen by six attackers.
Mangqebe Mohale, 56, and Tebho Ramqele, 50, were also shot, Mohale in the abdomen and thigh and Ramaqele in the right foot. Both survived.

He was rescued by CPF (Community Policing Forum) volunteers, who are not vigilantes, but operate legally in the same way volunteer firemen do.
Mr Frans de Bruyn was on his farm on the Crocodilian road between Fochville and Westonaria at approximately 23:00 on 8 November when the incident happened. He was in the house when he heard bells at the kraal where he kept his cattle.He went to investigate but walked into a gang of thieves.
They fired shots at De Bruyn, but he managed to get back home and call the CPF and other groups for help.
“Help me — Frans de Bruyn — I am being attacked.
Come help me,” was De Bruyn’s first call for help with shots ringing in the background.
Other farmers, CPF members and some police members raced to his assistance and found his 57 stolen cattle running in a road towards the mines, terrified.
They herded all the cattle back to De Bruyn’s farm.
