New research shows farmers most likely to be killed on Monday as cases surge
Farm murder is on the increase in South Africa and in many cases victims are violently tortured by burning, beating and stabbing.
South African farm murders, mostly committed in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and the Freestate, are escalating despite lockdown and many victims are suffering torture by burning, beating and stabbing at the hands of their violent attackers.
The province that is recording the lowest level of farm murders is the Western Cape followed by the Northern Cape and Limpopo.
This was among the findings of a research report entitled Farm Murders in South Africa 2020 – An analysis of recorded incidents compiled by Andrea Muller and released by Afriforum on Wednesday.
