On December 31, 2014 at about 05:30, a 52-year-old man was walking to the local clinic with his 50-year-old wife and their 18-year-old daughter when they met with two unknown men. The suspects approached the family and one of the suspects took out a firearm and instructed the man and his wife to put their hands up. One of the suspects started to search them and found R10.00 and a cell phone. Shortly thereafter a gunshot went off and the husband fell on the ground and the suspects fled the scene.
-
Kopanong SAPS and Paramedics were summoned to the scene and the 52-year-old victim was certified dead on the scene. A manhunt was launched by the Police members and information was followed that led to arrest of three suspects aged between 19 and 21 years old shortly after the incident. One of the suspects was found with the firearm still tugged on his waist. Itis alleged that the suspects are also linked with the murder of a man in Phelindaba(Bloemfontein) earlier in December.

Another farmer lost his life in South Africa! ...for nothing... 7 Years ago his cousin, David Green, was also murdered on his farm in Estcourt, KZN...
-
Murdered Estcourt farmer Malcolm “Stick” Green uttered his last words to his son moments before succumbing to a single gunshot wound inflicted during a farm attack in the early hours of Monday morning.
-
The well-known Green, 69, was wounded during a confrontation with four men who had forced their way into his farmhouse. As he lay prostrate and bleeding, his attackers fled with electronic appliances in his bakkie, which was later found abandoned near Ladysmith. Clutching his bleeding gunshot wound, Green called his wife, Ruth, who was on holiday at the coast and who raised the alarm. After he slipped into unconsciousness, a team of medics from Nsele Ambulance Services, Netcare911 and Emergency Medical Services tried desperately to resuscitate him for nearly two hours before he was declared dead on the lounge floor of his farmhouse.
-
Seven years ago, his cousin David Green was also slain in a farm attack at Estcourt. On Monday, yellow police cordon tape fluttered in the hot breeze, stark against the house’s ivy-clad
walls. Bloodstains stretched from Green’s bedroom through a passage and into his lounge, showing the path he struggled along to where he finally collapsed.
-
Ruth recounted the frantic minutes after she was roused by a call from her husband.
-
“I got a call from our guard and it took a while to make out what he was trying to say. When he gave the phone to Malcolm, he told me that he had been shot and asked me to call the police." she said.
-
After Green raised the alarm, she called her husband back.
-
“The second time I phoned him, his voice sounded panicked and it sounded like he was starting to lose his grip. I was frantic after I heard the tenor of his voice and I started to get anxious. I had no idea where he had been shot or how bad it was until after he was gone,” she said.
-
“We still don’t know how things unfolded. My son, Stafford, arrived and was trying to stop the bleeding before the paramedics arrived. He just lost too much blood. We have a guard here because there has been so much theft, but that is the case with any farm; speak to any of our neighbors and they will tell you."
-
“He was so special to me. He wrote children’s stories for his grandchildren,” she said amid tears, "I want the death penalty for those who did this, if I am speaking honestly.”
-
The couple had been married for 45 years. Green was born in Estcourt and was well known in the farming community.

Over 200 farmers evicted for Mugabe park project
2015-01-07 21:16
Harare - Heavily armed police officers evicted more than 200 families from a farm in eastern Zimbabwe on Tuesday to create space for a game park proposed by First Lady Grace Mugabe . Police officers and members of Zimbabwe's secret service turned up at Anold Farm in Mazowe district, about 50km east of the capital Harare, forcing the residents to leave without notice.
-
"They... ordered us to leave, but the government did not provide us with alternative land," said one of the farmers,Aspinas Makufa. "We have nowhere to go and all our belongings will be damaged as the rains keep pounding."
-
Non-profit organisation Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights said it dispatched a team of legal practitioners to Mazowe to help stop the "illegal evictions."
-
"We got a high court order last year that bars anyone from evicting the affected families from their land without offering them alternative pieces of land," said one of the group's litigation officers, David Hofisi.
-
"These evictions are a violation of the court order and we will be filing for contempt of court against the police," Hofisi added.
.
Grace Mugabe , who married President Robert Mugabe in 1996, reportedly seized several farms in the past decade, although, under the land reforms act, an individual is not allowed to own more than one. President Mugabe launched a wave of farm seizures from the year 2000 to resettle black farmers on land previously owned by whites.

Man bludgeoned to death with a brick and a copper pipe
On January 18, 2015 at 9:24 pm
-
Durban North – James Quinlin, 79, and his wife Jill, 65, were attacked at midday on January 15,
2015 in their Glenhills home by a man who was looking for casual work.
-
Quinlin was bludgeoned to death with a brick and acopper pipe while his wife was beaten on the
face. The suspect took Quinlin’s cell phone. Jill Quinlin was too distraught to speak to the Sunday Tribune on Saturday as she was leaving to identify her husband’s body at the mortuary. Robin Candy, their neighbour and chairman of the Greenwood Park Community Policing Forum, witnessed the attack on the CCTV camera outside his house.
-
“The attacker approached them looking for work. They told him they didn’t have any. He walked away but returned a few hours later while James was in his garage moving his car."
-
“This is when he attacked; he tried to steal the car but was unsuccessful."
-
On hearing her husband’s screams, Jill ran to see what was going on and she was attacked
with the brick.
-
“I rushed out and began chasing the suspect. He ran away and hid in the bushes nearby. He eventually managed to escape.”
-
Candy said the Quinlans were a loving couple.
-
“You can imagine how devastating this must be for her after almost 50 years of marriage. The community is shocked and we hope the suspect is caught.”
-
Police spokesman Colonel Jay Naicker confirmed Greenwood Park SAPS was investigating but no arrests had been made…
