Bikers throughout Northern KZN will join other bikers around the country for a ride on August 29 to protest attacks on farms and murder in South Africa.
The bikers plan to gather in Pretoria. The KZN Motorcycling Alliance supports the initiative with local bikers expected to ride from here to Newcastle as part of a localised protest.
The biker will gather in Newcastle but will also be part of the bigger movement.
“At this protest action we will request the minister of safety and security or the minister of police to furnish within a reasonable period of time concrete measures to curb the scourge of farm killings,” the KZN Motorcycling Alliance said in a statement.
There have been 26 murders on farms up to July 7, the TLU reported. Between January and March this year, TLU SA recorded 71 farm attacks and 14 murders.
Since then violent crimes started increasing to levels on par with those before the lockdown, and between April and June there were 68 attacks and 12 murders.
There have been two farm attacks over the past four weeks in the Dundee area.
““The analysis of murder victims shows without a doubt that white farmers, families and farm workers make up two-thirds of murder victims. The particularly high levels of violence and torture indicate a high level of racial hatred, which deeply concerns us,” TLU’s Chris Van Zyl said.
