As I was reading our local newspaper last night, my eyes came to rest on several reports of yet another handful of the farm attacks and -murders South Africa has become known for over the past years.  Farm attacks and -murders which see journalists having to write these reports with words I cannot even begin to imagine the sickening feeling of. Words like “boiling water poured down 87-year-old farmer’s throat for hours on end,” and “his wife and two teenage daughters were tied with barbed wire in the bathroom, after which they were repeatedly raped, burned with a hot iron, and stabbed with a sharp object.”
