TLU SA appreciates President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s denouncement of farm murders during his reply on the presidency\u2019s budget debate in parliament, but still wants to hear him officially make a plea for it to stop.<\/p>\n

The denouncement came after the leader of the VF Plus, Dr Pieter Groenewald, again asked why he\u2019s not officially made a statement about farm murders. TLU SA has also asked on numerous occasions for the president to officially denounce farm murders.<\/p>\n

Pres. Ramaphosa said that he has denounced farm murders in the past and will continue to do so in the future. He further said \u2013 in Afrikaans \u2013 that every life in the country has equal value and that every murder and violent crime should be denounced without prejudice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased that the silence about farm attacks and murders has finally been broken,\u201d says Mr. Bennie van Zyl, General Manager of TLU SA. \u201cBut we would also like to hear him call for farm murders to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the official TLU SA Incidents Report, 30 farm murders were committed until July this year, with farm attacks on 217 for this year.<\/p>\n
