The hideous killers Thobelani Manqele, 25, Sphiwe Shezi, 23, and 21-year-old Ndawo Ndlovu are alleged to have broken into the Cottonlands Farm home of Dhir “Roy” Singh, 68, and Kallawathie Beekarie, 65 and Singh was stabbed several times with his fishing spear on the neck and chest while Beekarie was forced into the bathroom tub, her hands tied behind her back, forced to kneel and strangled with cables.
We call on the international community to bring justice to the horrific mass murders in South Africa & the terrorising of the peoples of South Africa.
The ANC/EFF is complicit of terrorism of mass killings under a veil of crime in so called peace time.

The case against three men convicted of the murder of an elderly couple who was killed on their farm in Verulam during a robbery in 2018 has been adjourned to November.
