This month’s report of 13 South African farm attacks includes only one murder, but a lot of injuries and attacks on the elderly, as well as some success in fighting back.
The elderly man suffered head injuries after being pistol-whipped. The two attackers fled after a security company representative arrived. The attackers escaped with cell phones, wallets, jewelry, credit cards, and cash.
