Horrific Violence & Torture in South Africa https://farmattacks.co.za/horrific-violence-torture-in-south-africa/ https://farmattacks.co.za/horrific-violence-torture-in-south-africa/#comments Sun, 17 May 2020 16:34:16 +0000 https://farmattacks.co.za/?p=1105 This woman was brutally attacked and stabbed in her home.

Swipe.

Elmarie Cloete, a teacher from Kuruman, South Africa was attacked in her home on March 10, 2019. These barbaric attacks happen frequently in this country.

I want to scream and cry and just let it out. My heart is sore. But I’m not going to hate anyone for this. “VENGEANCE IS MINE”, says the Lord.

To the victim Elmarie Cloete and her family: I wish I could meet you and express how sorry I am that this has happen to you. Please know that you are in my prayers everyday.

Sammy Morifi (Pretoria)

Living in South Africa you have no insurance that you’ll wake up the next day, there is no insurance that you’ll see your loved ones tomorrow. The only crime is “being white”.

You cannot even trust your handyman, plumber, or your maid. They could kill you even for cheap jewelry or a cellphone. The funny thing is the government keep on turning a blind eye to this.
