The civil rights organisation AfriForum addressed the community of Senekal today and branded farm attacks and murders as a form of terror.<\/p>\n
This announcement came after the recent brutal murder of Brendin Horner (22) on a farm outside this town.<\/p>\n
Representatives of AfriForum formed part of the thousands of people who came together on the day on which the suspects who had been arrested in connection with Horner\u2019s murder appeared in court.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe solution for the problem has two sides. The message of farm murders must be spread to the ends of the earth and taken to the council chambers of the United Nations to ensure that the international community takes note,\u201d says Ernst Roets, AfriForum\u2019s Head of Policy and Action. \u201cThe second part of the solution \u2013 which is even more important \u2013 is for people to realise that the government will not solve the crisis. Communities must rather become the solution themselves by joining community safety structures to enable them to look after their own safety,\u201d Roets says<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
AfriForum saw people outside the court expressing their sympathy and compassion, but they are also furious about the situation in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fury that the people expressed here today is the consequence of the cruelty of a problem that simply persists, coupled with government\u2019s lackadaisical attitude towards farm murders,\u201d Roets concludes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
