AfriForum declares 1 December day of remembrance for farm murder victims

AfriForum says 1 December, a date usually observed as World AIDS Day, will also be marked worldwide as a day of remembrance for victims of farm murders. The initiative is intended to remember victims of farm attacks and support their families. The date was chosen in memory of two-year-old Wilmien Potgieter, who was murdered alongside her parents on their Free State farm in 2010. AfriForum’s Jacques Broodryk says the organisation will also engage international stakeholders to raise awareness about farm murders and violence against rural communities in South Africa.
