Johannesburg - The son of a murdered farmer
has challenged ANC Youth League statements that land should be taken without
compensation, according to a report on Friday.
Hanno van Rensburg, son of the murdered
farmer, Johan van Rensburg, 77, blamed the ANC Youth League for the crime in
which his mother Gloudien, 65, was also critically wounded, reported Beeld
newspaper.
"The ANC Youth League say they want to
take our land by violent means and declare war. If they want war, they must
come. I'll fucking shoot them. My family's blood has been spilt on this
land."
Ronald Lamola, deputy president of the ANC
Youth League, called on Tuesday night at the Durban University of Technology
for the expropriation of land without compensation.
"We need an act as forceful as war to
bring it back to the Africans," Lomola said.
Henry Geldenhuys, deputy president of the
Transvaal Agricultural Union, said Lamola was inciting violence.
"There's no option left for the farmers
but to prepare for a war."
On Thursday, Hanno van Rensburg cleaned the
blood spattered bedroom where his parents were shot.
"Why didn't they just take stuff and
leave my parents alone? Only guns were stolen during the attack. I want to say
to the murderers: Fuck you. I want to get hold of them, I want to shoot
them."
