DURBAN -KwaZulu-Natal police have opened an inquest after one of two suspects was killed while trying to attack a farmer in Bishopstown, just outside Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday.
Police are searching for the second suspect.
Agriculture authorities in KwaZulu-Natal have condemned the attack, saying it negatively impacted efforts to bring about social cohesion within farming communities.
KwaZulu-Natal Agriculture and Rural Development MEC Bongi Sithole-Moloi said she was concerned about farm attacks because they threatened food security.
“This, unfortunately, happened after the MEC instructed her department to convene a social cohesion workshop in May, which is going to deal with such incidents, MEC s spokesperson Vusi Zuma said.
