Crazy Farmer tries to Kill 6 Year Old & Mother Over an Orange

This story is from South Africa

MUM’S PAIN Boy, 6, screamed ‘Mummy… I’m going to die’ as he was pinned by car after being ‘rammed by farmer for stealing orange’
It's alleged the accused farmer told cops he'd 'do it again'

Mum Magdalene Jantijies claims Stoman rammed into them both, consequently pinning them against the fence before Khwezi's legs were crushed under the tyres.

She explained to the court that her six-year-old has endured nightmares about the horrific incident. Recalling the scene, Magdalene said: "He said: 'Ouch, Mummy... I'm going to die!' And the child screamed, he screamed and I said: 'It will all be alright, Khwezi'."

Christoffel Johannes Stoman, 70, appeared in the Vredendal Magistrate's Court on Monday on two charges of attempted murder and a charge of reckless and negligent driving.

Magdalene said she and her son had walked past the accused farmer's smallholding when making their way to town to do some food shopping, EWN reports.

Khwezi reportedly stopped to pick up an orange that was on the ground before attempting to reach through a fence and grab another one that was on the ground as well.

Stoman, the farmer, accused Khwezi of stealing an orange from his farm. He then allegedly hit and ran over the six-year-old with his vehicle that had a trailer attached.

The emotional mum recalled the terrifying incident, saying she heard accused Stoman scream before ramming into them both, pinning them against a fence.

Magdalene said to eNCA: "He came from around the corner and he was driving at a speed.

"He shouted 'stand there, stand there.' I thought he was going to stop. He aimed directly at us in a corner, and I screamed, Help! Help!

"He said, 'I'm going to kill you by driving into you.'"

The mum claims that following the incident said the farmer "showed no remorse" and didn't offer "any assistance" to the pair, Sahara Reporters claims.
