BLOEMFONTEIN. – Mr Hennie Viljoen was ambushed on Monday December 27 2010 and bludgeoned to death by armed black men who were waiting for him at the entrance to his Bloemspruit smallholding near Bloemfontein. Volksblad journalist Vicus Bürger was told at the crime scene that the Boer had withdrawn cash from a nearby cashpoint shortly before. He had stepped from his Peugeot 407 to open the entrance gate to the homestead when he was killed. The attackers tried to use his Peugeot as a getaway car but crashed it shortly after fleeing. They then fled on foot. Mr Viljoen is survived by his wife and two daughters. http://www.volksblad.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Bloemfonteiner-met-klippe-doodgeslaan-20101228
