BRITS – 1October 2015 Fanie van der Westhuizen (54) was arrested for 'attempted murder' and 'pointing a firearm' against a suspected thief. He was released on R5000 bail. He was not asked to plead to any charges.

He said in a statement that unknown black males were plundering bricks from his dam wall on Monday at 11am.

The security company employees chased the looters away after the police failed to respond to several calls. Around 15h30 an unknown vehicle drove up to his homestead and dropped a man off at his dam wall.

That man also started plundering the bricks from the wall.

Fanie again called the security company and the police while driving to the dam.

The black man dropped the looted bricks when he saw the Afrikaner farmer and ran in the direction of the Sunway squatter camp.

Fanie said he followed the man in his vehicle. The man ran and fell. Fanie climbed out and said he saw the man make a movement which had him believe the man had a stone or some kind of weapon he was going to assault the farmer with.

Fanie said he got his gun out but never pointed it. At that moment one of Fanie's workers showed up with Fanie's neighbour and a large group of residents from Sunwayu also rushed up and started assaulting the suspected thief.

Fanie said the police showed up and arrested him: and refused to examine Fanie's vehicle nor take any statements from the neighbour who had seen the entire event.

Mr Van der Westhuizen's 'case' was postponed to next month to allow police to 'continue their investigation (PAGE GRAB)
