Farm wife murdered, Pretoria court burns down

•Disbanding of farm-commandos has left farming community vulnerable
Oct 26 2010 - “The Democratic Alliance party is deeply saddened by the senseless murder yesterday of Anna-Marie Rohrs, the wife of an Estcourt KZN farmer. This is yet again another murder of a farmer’s wife in the KZN Midlands,” said MP Alf Lees in a statement.

•The DA extends its heartfelt condolences to Alex Rohrs and his family. The Estcourt teacher was murdered in cold blood and police are searching for two black suspects.
This is a family which has done so much for the people of all races in the area and in particular for the people who work on the farm.This murder follows soon after the brutal farm murders of Hilda Linyene, Zakwe Mlongwe and Loraine Karg.

Rural safety remains a problem of immense magnitude which the ANC simply does not take seriously enough. The disbanding of the Farm Commandos has left rural people vulnerable to the brutal and vicious attacks such as the attack on Mrs Rohrs that has left her dead and her family bereft.
