Cape Town – Plant lover Andy Makoma used to assist Franschhoek horticulturist Jeanne Farley in propagating proteas on her farm for 16 years. However, a chainsaw attack on his 37th birthday has led to the father-of-three and family breadwinner losing an arm and he is still in a critical condition in Tygerberg Hospital.

He was allegedly later confronted by the suspect’s husband after he had parked the car, with the incident playing out in front of Makoma’s wife and children. Farley said: ’’The police in Franschhoek were so slack it took them two days before they locked up the suspect. We are hoping that the State prosecutor will ensure a proper sentence for the man who attacked Andy.’’

’’He is in critical condition and might not make it. All we can hope for is that he lives at this stage. We are asking for any donations, money, food, items whatever you can spare for him and his family.
