April’s litany of farm attacks in South Africa includes four murders: A 54 year-old man shot to death, a mother and her adult son beaten to death with blunt instruments, and a 78 year-old wheelchair bound man strangled to death. He was in a wheelchair because of a previous attack 20 years ago.
A 78-year-old farmer fatally shot one of two attackers in Bishopstowe, outside of Pietermaritzburg, in the kwaZulu Natal province.
Reports say the farmer was attacked while working on a vehicle. When one of the attackers attempted to stab the farmer during a scuffle, the elderly man managed to fire the shot that ended one of the attacker’s life.

DURBAN - Police Minister Bheki Cele has disputed a figure given by Public Works Minister Patricia de Lille as the amount owed by the South African Police Service (SAPS) to her department.
Cele on Wednesday addressed the media during an oversight visit in Pietermaritzburg.
In response to a question by Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Michele Clark, De Lille revealed last week that the police owe the public works department R24 million.
