Older but extremely shocking story on situation in Southern Africa. Everyone knows about Mugabe and catastrophal situation in Zimbabwe but Southern Africa itself slips into chaos and criminality.

South African farmers are now listed on Genocide Watch and according to interpol they have the most dangerous job in the world: 313 of each 100.000 is murdered each year according to the statistics. But far more of them are attacked and/or injured.

My world changed three years ago, on my daughter’s 7th birthday. My brother and his family joined us for a celebratory barbeque on our farm in a remote rural area in the Gauteng Province. A distress call came from an elderly lady living on a neighbouring farm. She was extremely concerned because her farm workers had reported suspicious looking people on the farm. My husband and brother immediately got into the pickup truck and sped off to assist her.

Soon my husband spoke on the CB radio in his vehicle and very calmly said there were three men on the road ahead. Simultaneously my brother spoke, “Where is he now?!â€
