17 cows butchered as xenophobic attacks spread to rural KZN
Durban - ATTACKS on foreigners, until now largely prevalent in the cities, are moving to farming areas. This week, violence flared in Donnybrook on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast where a group of former workers allegedly butchered 17 cows owned by a farmer they accused of employing Zimbabweans.
The family has bolstered security by hiring armed guards after attempts to petrol bomb the home of a Zimbabwean farm manager were unsuccessful. “But I will wait for the employees to come up with proposals on how we can move forward. For now, production has been stopped with very little happening on the farm,” he said.
“These issues regarding their dismissal were supposed to be raised last year, but it waited until attacks flared in Durban townships. They were really taking advantage of the recent attacks.
