Surveillance-photos of the farm found one memory-stick in discarded pants of a fleeing black farm-attacker in Brits…

One white farmer survived a panga (machete) attack in Brits, after being repeatedly bludgeoned over the head and back. The farmer managed to get hold of his shotgun, and wounded one attacker. The wounded attacker discarded his pants, grabbed a pair of pants belonging to the farmer, and fled. The SAPS found a memory stick containing detailed photos in the attacker's discarded trousers. These photos showed that there had been meticulous pre-planning of this attack: photos showed the farmhouse, and surrounding buildings in great detail, allowing the attackers to penetrate the property with ease. The attackers clearly had been watching the farmer’s movements beforehand, obtaining a detailed description of his routine, as he was attacked after letting the dogs out at 5 am. He was overpowered whilst returning to the house.
