HRC: Farm attacks criminal, not political

[dArKeR]

A two-year investigation by the Human Rights Commission into farm killings and the poor treatment of farmworkers has found that there was no political motive behind the attacks on farmers.

The attacks, which saw hundreds of farmers killed throughout the country over the past three years, were criminally motivated, according to the human rights body's findings.

It was widely claimed ahead of the inquiry - launched in May 2001 - that the police and other criminal justice organs were collaborating with perpetrators of human rights violations. Some farming bodies also claimed that political parties were behind the widespread killings on farms.

Do you know if there is any way to find out which farms have not yet been seized?
