Farm attacks are normal... because they're hungry

Almost beaten to death for his dentures

Farm attackers (there’s a term for them here - even though you can't actually attack a farm) almost beat a man to death close to Zeerust for his dentures, a cell phone and a shovel.

Stephen Joubert (61)

If it weren’t for the fact that the attackers’ pistol failed to fire a few times, Stephen Joubert (61) would’ve been dead. Due to his injuries and the loss of his dentures, he couldn’t convey the details of the attack close to the pig sties on the farm, Vaalkop.

There was gold in the dentures.

Mariëtte van der Westhuizen said that her husband, Pieter, had to go to Johannesburg Friday evening. (29 November 2013). Pieter asked Joubert to feed the pigs. Joubert also lives on the van der Westhuizen’s farm and is a partner in their safari-company.

Joubert went to the pig sties which are about 2km from the house on a motorbike. At around 20:45, Mariëtte started getting worried about Joubert and went to look for him with a torch, pistol and 5 vicious dogs.

“His hands were tied so tightly with wire that they were swollen and almost black. They kicked him, jumped on him and hit him with a shovel.”

The attackers demanded that Joubert give them his dentures when they spotted a bit of gold in them. He sustained various stab wounds to his head and eventually fainted.

The doctor who tended to him in hospital said that if he remained tied for a bit longer, he would’ve lost his hands and feet due to impaired blood flow.

Basically, there would've been another cross at the 'white cross monument' in Ysterberg close to Polokwane if their pistol worked. So Stephen is just another 'lucky one' who got away with his life.

Tell me people; if your booty is a set of dentures, a shovel and a cell phone, do you need to do this to someone? Do you need to shoot him? I'm sure if you pointed a gun at me and asked for my dentures, my cell phone and a shovel, I would've given it to you without much of a fuss.

THIS WAS A RACIST HATE CRIME!

AT LEAST CRAZY OLD BOB MUGABE AND IDI AMIN HAD THE DECENCY TO PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE THAT WHITE FARMERS SHOULD GET OFF THEIR LAND.

THE ANC HAS A FAR MORE SINISTER APPROACH TO GET RID OF WHITE FARMERS. (while they're sitting in their multi-million rand houses, stuffing themselves with the food the farmers produce every day)
