ANOTHER #FarmAttack: Black gunman armed with a 9mm pistol attempted to tackle a farmer. Farmer dive behind a wall for cover
A farm attack has taken place along the Driefontein road.
Police and Sharaj Ambulance Services are on scene. According to initial reports, a gunman armed with a 9mm pistol attempted to tackle a farmer. Luckily, the farmer, who was in his house at the time behind a security gate, spotted the man drawing his firearm and managed to dive behind a wall for cover.
The gunman, realizing he could not hit the farmer, fled. The farmer drew his own firearm, but the gunman was already out of sight. He immediately alerted Secure SA, who co-ordinated a rapid response.
The K9 Unit is heading towards the scene with tracker dogs to catch the spoor.

■ #FarmAttack: Update: Driefontein road
Farm owner Mr Colin Hume said he was walking down the passage at about 2pm when he saw the silhouette of someone standing with half their body hidden behind a wall and looking into the house. He asked the man what he wanted and the man responded that he wanted work.
Mr Hume asked him to leave, at which point the man drew a 9mm firearm.
The dogs in the house started barking, but they could not attack as the security gate was locked.
Mr Hume then went into his bedroom to get his firearm. However, when he returned, the would-be attacker had run away.
Sharaj Ambulance Services responded, but no one was injured.
At the moment, police are searching the area. http://ladysmithgazette.co.za/49697/farm-attack-on-driefontein-road/
