Louiesenhof murder: Call for more safety in rural areas
An Inter-ministerial committee has been established to look into the safety of the province’s rural areas. Following the murder of prominent wine estate owner Stefan Smit, 62, officials on Monday agreed on the establishment of a provincial watching brief for rural farm incidents to be introduced.
Smit’s estate, Louiesenhof, had made the news following an alleged illegal occupation of a portion renamed Azania by current occupants. A meeting was also expected with advocate Rodney de Kock, the provincial head of the National Prosecuting Authority. Fritz said: “I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the families on their loss. We cannot tolerate attacks on our farmers, agri workers and communities. Our farms are the breadbaskets and provide livelihood to the many surrounding them.
