Johannesburg: The killing attracted global attention: a white South African farmer was shot dead in his home in the Stellenbosch wine region near Cape Town last year, not long after his vineyards were invaded by residents of a nearby black township.
The farmer, Stefan Smit, 62, reported receiving death threats after seeking to evict the squatters, making the occupation a flash point in a wider political fight over land in South Africa.
