Reine Opperman talks to Gabriel Makin about the very high risk farmers, of all races, face.
11 minSouth African farming households are attacked at roughly twice the rate of households in the general population — and a farm attack is 6.7 times more likely to end in murder than a house or business robbery anywhere else in the country. Reine Opperman walks Gabriel Makin through The Common Sense's own research on the SAPS data. Reine explains to Gabriel the data showing how much more likely South Africans are to be attacked in their home and how much more likely this is likely to result in a murder than people in the UK and the US.
