Farmers protest at police station
By TMG Editor - 01 August 2014
ANGRY farmers gathered at Rocklands police station yesterday to demand improved law enforcement, and some of them threatened to take the law into their own hands.
"We demand policing" read a banner the group of about 20 farmers and farmworkers fastened to a fence at the police station.
They said they were concerned about an increase in crime in the Rocklands, Witteklip, Elands River, Greenbushes and surrounding areas, claiming little was being done about it by police servicing the zones.
The Herald reported yesterday that more than 155 sheep, 50 pigs and several head of cattle, to the value of more than R300000, had been stolen in the past six weeks. - Riaan Marais
