“The investigations into the circumstances of the shootings, including information that suggests the wife might also have fired some shots, have already begun,” Mojapelo said.

Provincial police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nneke Ledwaba has directed that the incident be thoroughly investigated and the culprit/s arrested.

South Africa has been facing a rise in murders of caucasian farmers, with many describing it as a ‘silent’ genocide claiming the socialist central government is not doing enough to curb the killings.
