4 June 2025- Three farmers aged 74, 42 and 52, briefly appeared in the Bloemhof Magistrate’s Court for pointing of firearm, malicious damage to property and assault with intent to do Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH). This comes after the trio allegedly assaulted an off-duty policeman (51).
The North West police spokesperson, Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said the off-duty policeman went to a farm, allegedly to chase jackals that were killing and eating cattle. Mokgwabone said he was apparently approached by three men, who accused him of illegal hunting.
“The suspects allegedly assaulted the victim and damaged his cell phone. They are facing pointing of firearm, malicious damage to property and assault with intent to do Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) charges.
“They will appear in court on 30 June 2025,” he said.
