The civil rights organisation AfriForum on 24 October 2022, supported a march in Roedtan, Limpopo, organised by the District Agricultural Union in Potgietersrus to condemn farm murders.
Representatives and members of AfriForum attended the march in collaboration with other prominent organisations.
The accused appeared in the circuit court in Roedtan on charges of the murder of the farmer Nicky Janse van Rensburg, as well as house robbery.
Veronica Grobler and a minor boy were also present during the incident that took place on 7 October 2022.
Participants in the march entered the town with posters and crosses with a clear message – farm murders must stop.
“Farm murders and attacks are a unique form of crime that leads to indescribable trauma and destroys communities. It is important that the media in South Africa and abroad takes note of this horrific phenomenon. Today’s march underlines the tragic crisis of farm murders but also creates hope that farm communities can join hands to safeguard themselves,” says Ernst van Zyl, Campaign Officer for Strategy and Content at AfriForum.
