A second farm attack took place at the same farm in the Franklin area in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa within a week. The farm attack took place on 14 February 2023, at 18:30.
The farmer, on Newlands Farm, was also forced to open his safe by five attackers posing as police officers on the night of 8 February 2023.
On that occasion the suspects, wearing civilian clothes, had on reflective jackets with POLICE on the back. They were all armed, some with R5 rifles.
On 14 February 2023, Magma Security received a call from the farmer who was being attacked for the second time.
When the farm security arrived on the scene they were met with gunfire, with one of their members getting shot and injured.
The district head of Harry Gwala Cluster mobilised surrounding units and together with various security companies and farmers in the area the roads were blocked off.
The attackers fled the scene leaving behind one of their vehicles.
In the abandoned vehicle police reflector jackets were found.
Six suspects were subsequently apprehended by SAPS and security companies.
The investigation into the two attacks are ongoing.
