2010-11-29 Amanda Roestoff - KRUGERSDORP. Boer Julie Louw, 38, of the farm Rietfontein at Kromdraai near Krugersdorp, was discovered beaten comatose. A neighbour found the farmer next to his Toyoto Corolla’s opened doors and a flat tyre on the tar-road leading to his farm. He suffered ‘serious facial, leg and back injuries’ and was rushed to the local hospital, which appropriately enough was renamed after a communist ‘freedom fighter’ called Yusuf Dadoo. Doctors said the injuries show that he was assaulted by someone with a hatchet and another person with a knobkierie, a ‘traditional weapon’.
Warrant officer Dennis Jones believes that the Boer was attacked either late Friday evening or in the early-morning hours of Saturday November 28 2010. They confirmed that ‘an unknown number of men gained access to the Louw farmhouse.” They ‘could not say’ whether anything was robbed but they are not investigating attempted murder charges, only ‘armed robbery’. The farm is located near the Brookwood trout farm and the rural Kloofzicht Tourist Lodge. The police tried to interrogate the comatose farmer in hospital but unsurprisingly ‘were unable to communicate’ with him. And orse just as unsurprisingly no-one was arrested: the SAPS specialised farm-tracking units which could have followed their traces were disbanded during ex-pres Thabo Mbeki ‘s inept reign.
•Ah yes I almost forgot! There was some good news after al: the SAPS did lift ‘fingerprints’ off the abandoned car but of course did not bother with DNA traces – not much use in doing so as there is no centralised DNA-database in SA due to the ANC’s excessive obsessions with ‘privacy laws’. http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Boer-erg-geslaan-sukkel-om-te-praat-na-aanval-20101128
