The latest farm attack and murder on a farm near Moorreesburg serves as clear proof that this type of crime must be declared a priority crime.
Mr Frans Koch (69) and his wife, Ingrid (65), were attacked in their home on Tuesday on their farm Klipheuwel.
Mrs Koch was murdered and her husband, who is currently in the hospital, was seriously injured in the incident.
A suspect has been apprehended and will appear before the court soon.
The FF Plus concurs with Agri Western Cape: One farm murder is one too many.
The FF Plus will keep fighting for a much-needed special rural safety unit that focuses on the prevention of farm attacks and combats this type of crime in cooperation with farmers and other safety and security forums.
The FF Plus expresses its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased and wishes Mr Koch a speedy recovery.
