In a chilling episode in the small community of Hendrina, Mpumalanga, a brutal attack on a local farm has escalated into a high-profile police investigation. During the night of Thursday, November 28, 2024, a sequence of violent events including robbery, kidnapping, rape, and murder unfolded, which tragically resulted in the death of a male farm resident.





The incident was first flagged after the victim’s employer reported his absence from work. Concerned by the call, a neighbour went to check on him, only to discover a horrifying scene. The police were immediately alerted and upon their arrival, they discovered the lifeless body of the man beneath a canopy, showing evidences of violence. Another older man was also found injured within a vehicle on the premises.


Authorities have confirmed the occurrence of a robbery; during the attack, the assailants made away with various personal items, including mobile phones. In a distressing development, it was later uncovered that the victim’s wife had been abducted and subsequently left at Embalenhle, a nearby locale. Thankfully, she was found, although details of her condition remain undisclosed. Police, however, successfully recovered four mobile phones which are believed to have been stolen during the raid.


As investigation continues, the suspects are still at large, prompting major concern and a rigorous search from the authorities. The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Major General (Dr) Z.M. Mkhwanazi, has publicly committed to relentless efforts to apprehend the culprits responsible for this appalling crime.


The SAPS urges anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the suspects to contact the Crime Stop number at 08600 10111 or provide tips anonymously via the MySAPS App. In a bid to combat such ruthless acts and enhance security in the region, local law enforcement is keen on gathering all possible leads swiftly to ensure justice is served.


The tight-knit community of Hendrina remains shocked and in mourning as they rally around the affected family, hoping for swift justice and increased safety measures in their area. More details about this case will emerge as officials continue their thorough investigations.
