The community of Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal was reeling after the murder of a couple at their farm in Normandien on Saturday
Newcastle mayor Dr Ntuthuko Mahlaba was saddened and shocked by “the unprovoked killing of Glen Rafferty and his wife in Normandien”.
“Their untimely deaths are a huge loss for our community, and the farming fraternity in particular. The killing of farmers and their workers should be denounced with the contempt that it deserves at all times. I urge anyone with information which might lead to the arrest of the suspects to contact their nearest police station immediately.”Newcastle Growth Coalition chairperson Johan Pieters told TimesLIVE on Monday that the community was devastated by the couple's murder.
KZN premier Sihle Zikalala also condemned the killings and called for the perpetrators to be speedily caught.
