FARMER IN COURT AFTER ALLEGED SANDF SHOOTING INCIDENT.
A Ladybrand farmer appeared in court on Thursday after he allegedly fired shots at two SANDF members patrolling the area, Eastern Free State assistant police commissioner Eric Nkuna said on Friday.
He said Coenraad Frederick Anderson, 41, of Haven Farm, Ladybrand, appeared in the town's magistrate's court on a charge of attempted murder.
The case was postponed to January 22 and Anderson was released on warning.
Nkuna said that on Tuesday at 5pm the SANDF members were busy with border patrols at the farm.
"At about 8.15pm they went to local farm workers' houses to ask for water as they were thirsty," Nkuna said.
After the alleged shooting incident, the SANDF members fled and reported the matter to their superiors.
Anderson was arrested on Thursday and police confiscated his .38 Special revolver.
