Klapmuts mom in recovery after farm robbery
Cape Town - A mother is recovering in hospital after she had a narrow escape from four armed robbers who attacked her, in front of her children in her Glen Gall farm home in Klapmuts, Paarl.
Police spokesperson Andrè Traut said in the latest incident, a group of men had accosted the family in their home while the father had been out. “A house robbery which was perpetrated at around 6:30am on a farm in Klapmuts is under police investigation. Earlier this week, Agriculture MEC Ivan Meyer met with Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz, Stellenbosch mayor Gesie van Denventer, and other role-players to discuss a plan to end violence in the province’s rural areas.
“We ask the authorities to act hard in this case and get behind the truth of these attacks. We call on the minister of police to put measures in place to curb these kind of evil attacks on our rural people and also those in other areas,” Claasen said.
