(WE MISSED TO REPORT ON THIS FARM ATTACK December 18, 2015)
Stacy and Nico van der Westhuizen were surprised by armed black attackers with three pistols and a revolver while watching television around 20:00 on Wednesday night.
“My small dog inside the house barked and I looked up and saw two men outside the window. I screamed and the next moment the four men were in the house,” a still shaken Stacy told the Kormorant this week.
“They shouted to be quiet en sit down. We didn’t know it at the time but they had drugged our other two dogs.”
The couple was tied up with cable ties, computer cables, antenna wires and tape before the robbers started ransacking the house.
“They got all the electronics together and came back with our safe they had ripped out of the wall. They wanted the keys and dragged me to where the keys were. They demanded the car keys as well,” Stacy said.
The men gathered the electronics, kitchenware, laptop, jewellery, clothes and much more. They took Nico’s cellphone but when they wanted Tracy’s she got hysterical. “My mom died recently and the only photos I have of her are on the phone. My husband explained to them and they let me keep my phone.”
The robbers loaded the loot into the couple’s  car and two drove off.
“We were taken to the bedroom where the remaining robbers emptied out drawers and cupboards. They even checked the seams of the curtains. They took makeup, shampoo, soap, hair clippers…”
The couple was moved to the kitchen and given a comforter to sit on the floor.
“Every time they moved us to a different room I would think: Now we are going to die!”
Stacy said the one robber received a number of phone calls and he was getting agitated. “And then, after about two-and-a-half hours, they just left.”
Stacy said the robbers spoke English and were very polite. “They were not South African.”
After the men left, Stacy managed to break the cable ties she was tied with and freed her husband.
“The airtime on my cellphone was finished and I sent a message to a family member in Pretoria. They were there in minutes and called the police and Plot Watch.
Stacy and Nico have moved out of their house and are staying with family.
“One does not realise how such an experience affects you until you go through it. The material things we lost are just things, but what we went through mentally is going to stay with us for a long time,” Stacy said.
The robbers are still at large.
