  77-year-old Afrikaner farmer Hendrik Cilliers 's badly bruised body was found tied to a tree on Sunday 18:30 about 30m from his homestead on his farm Erfdeel about 15km outside Stella, North West. SAPS spokesman brig. Thulani Ngubane said Mr Cilliers' hands and feet were bound up tightly around the tree-trunk. His mouth was covered up with a t-shirt. Mr Cilliers was first brutally beaten because his body is covered in bruises. He then was shot dead execution-style with a headshot. .Mr Ngubane said that the old Afrikaner farmer lived alone on his farm. He claimed 'some household goods' were stolen but did not provide further details and later news reports do not indicate that robbery had been a motive: . link and link and link

Farmer and Nutrition expert Francois du Toit of Alzu Feeds murdered on his farm  Kwalata neer Roossenekal in Mpumalanga - January 23 2012.

 Transvaal Agricultural Union VP Henk vd Graaf said Mr Francois Du Toit, who worked as a nutrition expert at the Alzu Feeds company, was gunned down and killed as he opened his back door to investigate why his dogs were barking. A colleague who does not want to be identified told the ‘Landbou’ publication that there were probably three black males involved in the attack. After they murdered the Afrikaner man, they tied up his wife and children and fled with the couple’s cellphones – using their vehicles merely to escape in: the vehicles were found back on the farm after the murder.  Vd Graaf said the TLU is worried about the large number of farm-attacks thus far this year. “If this trend continues this will be a bloody year for our farmers,’ he said.  23 Jan 2012

Unnamed black male farm-attacker killed, Alkmaar farm: Farmer Corrie Potgieter, 70, shoots dead one of three black farm-attackers who ambushed him at his Alkmaar, Nelspruit farm: dead man was found to be armed with a realistic-looking BB-pistol: http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Man-kills-robber-armed-with-BB-gun-20120127

Smallholder Michael Stenger, 30 shot dead at Nelspruit smallholding: used as human shield by armed black-male gang – nothing robbed:

   2012-01-21 Nelspruit employee Michael Stenger was at work at the company Sound Systems when four armed black males arrived at 09:30 in a luxury BMW on Saturday Jan 21 2012 at the smallholding where the business is located. In the resulting firefight between his employer Charles Loram and the armed gang, Mr Stenger was killed: he was being used as a human shield by the gang. Forensic tests will have to determine who fired the fatal shot. Loram saw from his bedroom window that Mr Stenger had a black bag pulled over his head and when he stormed into his business with his .38, two gunmen fired shots at Loram. Mr Stenger was hit and the gang dragged Mr Stenger into an adjacent office, and held the injured man in front of them while exchanging fire with the owner.When Mr Loram ran out of ammo and rushed to his home to fetch his 9mm, the gang tried to get their BMW through the electric gates - but couldn't.They then fled on foot. Mr Loram said he believes he injured two of them. When he returned to his office he found Mr Stenger - shot through the heart. Beeld newspaper surmises that Mr Loram may have shot dead Mr Stenger accidentially during the firefight - although offering no proof of this: it has to be established with forensic testing first. The police meanwhile have launched a 'murder' investigation and confiscated Mr Loram's revolver and at least eight 9mm spent cartridges.An injured black suspect was arrested at Nelspruit police station when he lodged a formal charge claiming his red BMW had been 'hijacked'. After checking the Sound Systems security cameras it was determined that the man had been amongst the armed robbers.Police arrested a black woman at a taxistand and questioned her about lending the red BMW to a man who claimed he wanted to attend a funeral with it. SAPS spokesman lt-col Leonard Hlathi said they released her. Mr Loram - who is a life-style trainer and dietician - was badly traumatised and unable to make a statement to the police.Mr Stenger was engaged to Ms René Roestorf and their wedding was planned for September.He leaves his mom Mrs Hannie Klokie and sisters Monika Stenger en Manuela Bergendahl.

Dutch MP fights for the rights of Afrikaans – and for the people who speak it:

One Dutch MP, Martin Bosma, has decided to start fighting for Afrikaans-language rights in South Africa: on the premise that if you fight for the survival of the language, you also fight for the survival of the people who speak it. He is getting considerable support from Dutch and Belgian MPs across a broad political spectrum: Dutch language union forms broad-based coalition of Dutch, Flemish MPs to fight for Afrikaans in SA:https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=370965846250594
