\u201cFarmers are fed up with the onslaught on their lives and will take action against criminals attacking and intimidating them,\u201d says Mr Louis Meintjes, the president of TLU SA.<\/p>\n
This past month the country increasingly saw how communities peacefully protested in their masses at court cases relating to farm attacks and murders. TLU SA and TLU SA members support these actions every time.<\/p>\n
During TLU SA\u2019s virtual protest march on 14 August, more than 11\u00a0000 people showed their support by registering and sending messages of hope and strength to farmers. The posts reached more than 355\u00a0000 people through social media platforms.<\/p>\n
TLU SA was present at marches in Thabazimbi, Soekmekaar and Mokgopong in August where suspects in farm attacks appeared in court. More protest actions are planned for future court appearances.<\/p>\n
TLU SA will also be present on 18 and 19 September during the annual commemoration of victims of farm attacks at the White Cross Monument in Ysterberg, Limpopo. The organisers erect white crosses for people murdered in farm attacks every year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased that these protest marches are peaceful every time and that there were no violence or damages,\u201d says Mr Meintjes. \u201cWe want to encourage South Africans to support these types of marches and actions as much as possible and to take a stand against farm attacks. The purpose is to show that farming communities will stand together and will stand up for the safety of farmers, families and workers.\u201d<\/p>\n
