Durban - THE north-western KwaZulu-Natal farming community will on Thursday hold a prayer meeting in Normandien, near Newcastle, in memory of slain farmers Glen and Vida Homann Rafferty.
“They were the cornerstones of their community. We are shocked, heartbroken and we cannot comprehend why this happened,”she said.The minister also organised community policing and farming structures. He said since last year, seven farm murders have taken place in KwaZulu-Natal. “We had such a lovely time together. They were anticipating the arrival of their son Nathan and daughter-in-law Tamsyn for a visit. They left town at about 8.50pm to get home before the curfew. My heart is shattered. Vida had been a constant in my life. She had been at my side through every hiccup in my life. She was the most loyal and amazing friend,” Hill said.“Farm killings remain a serious concern in the province. The ongoing killing of farmers goes against the spirit of ubuntu,” he said.
The meeting is expected to, among other things, focus on the specific programmes aimed at curbing violent attacks on farmers, which has a negative impact on food production and security.
