TLU SA hopes the government, minister of police, Bheki Cele and criminals take note of the growing feeling of resistance under South African farmers.<\/p>\n

A big crowd of supporters this morning convened at the court in Senekal, Free State where the suspects in the gruesome murder of the farm manager Brendin Horner were set to appear. The court postponed the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cTLU SA does not support any form of vandalism,\u201d says Mr Bertus van der Westhuizen, the chairperson of TLU SA in the Free State. \u201cBut the behaviour of the supporters reflects the feeling of farmers at ground level. The irreconcilable attitude and remarks of the minister of police, Bheki Cele, against farmers add to this feeling. We are fed up and will no longer be targets.\u201d<\/p>\n

TLU SA further hopes that the discussions between TLU SA and other roleplayers with the national commissioner of police yesterday, comes to fruition at ground level quickly and that the government will contribute to the protection of farmers and maintaining law and order.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government\u2019s attitude towards and denial of the seriousness of farm attacks are unacceptable,\u201d says Mr van der Westhuizen. \u201cWe hope the government now realises that the chaos that could ensue if there is no active reaction would be unmanageable by the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to contribute. We want to build and help to build the country to the benefit of each resident. But not where farmers are like birds on a wire, and everyone shoots at them.\u201d<\/p>\n
