Brendin Horner het op die dag van sy moord sy 1ste werk bestaansjaar gevier. Duisende mense het buite die Senekal-landdroshof byeengekom om die verdagtes in die moord in die gesig te staar. Volgens Horner se werkgewer was Brendin ‘n trotse werker en briljant. Brendin sou hier deur sy werk groot hoogtes bereik het. Hy was een van die ratte wat die klok laat tik het. ‘
Huldeblyke
Huldeblyke het vir die jong Vrystaatse Boer ingestroom. Die wrede moord op Brendin Horner het woede regoor die land ontketen, en mense was reeds vroeg Dinsdag oggend in Senekal. Die Johannesburgse skrywer Stanley Cierenberg het ‘n gedig vir Brendin op sosiale media gedeel.
Gedig vir Brendin Horner
Die tragiese en traumatiese lewens verlies wat die boere gemeenskap kan verduur, is die dood van ‘n 21-jarige boer wat wreed vermoor is. Die einde van Brendin, ‘n jong Boer, beteken die verlies aan meer as net ‘n kosbare lewe. Dit verteenwoordig die verlies aan toekomstige ervarings en toekomstige hoop. Geen boere-gemeenskap of ouers is voorbereid op die verlies van ‘n jong Boer nie, en as dit gebeur, word hul wêreld vir altyd verander. Die hartseer, skuld gevoelens en angs teen die regering van Suid-Afrika is blywend en terrorisme.
Totsiens Beste Vriend
Brendin, ons wens ons kan wakker word en sien jy staan daar.
Om die aand op jou te wag was ‘n nagmerrie.Ek onthou toe jy op die plaas begin werk het, en ons jou hand vasgehou het,
En jy een van die beste boere en ons beste vriend geword het.Ons het baie herinneringe wat ons veilig bewaar en in ons harte sal hou.
Ons deel ‘n band wat tyd en afstand nooit uitmekaar kan breek nie.O, Brendin, hoe seer is ons harte.
Ons sal daarvan hou om jou terug te hê en jou nooit weer te laat gaan nie.Waar daar net geluk was het die mense wat jou tereggestel het, net hartseer gebring.
Hoe smag ons daarna om jou stem te hoor en om weer jou pragtige glimlag te sien?
En ons wens jy kom net ‘’n rukkie terug.Tot die dag wat ons jou weer sien,
Sal ons na die hemel kyk en tussen sterre soek na ons beste vriend.Liefde, Suid-Afrika
Brigadier Motantsi Makhele, polisiewoordvoerder, het bevestig dat twee verdagtes verlede Saterdag in hegtenis geneem is in verband met die moord op Brendin Horner. Die twee verdagtes is in die Fateng-Tse-Ntsho-Buurt in Paul Roux deur speurders van Senekal in hegtenis geneem. Bloedbesmeerde klere en skoene is gevind en vir forensiese toetse gestuur. Horner se lyk is Vrydag oggend vasgebind aan ‘n paal gevind met ernstige beserings aan sy kop en gesig. Volgens die polisie is ‘n mes op die toneel gevind en Horner se Toyota Hilux-bakkie is verlate gevind, met bloedvlekke binne-in die kajuit. ‘Daar word vermoed dat die oorledene hulle op daardie noodlottige dag kon opgemerk het en hulle met veediewe wat in die omgewing betrokke was, geïdentifiseer het. Die polisie het oproepe ontvang van ander boere wat die aanval aangemeld het. Die polisie het Horner, wat op die toneel dood verklaar is, aangetref met beserings aan sy kop en gesig. Die twee verdagtes, 32 en 43 jaar oud, het Dinsdag in die Senekal-landdroshof verskyn op aanklag van moord, maar die saak is uitgestel. ‘
Die brutaliteit van plaasmoorde en aanvalle wat gereeld in Suid-Afrika gepleeg word met die een skokkende aanval na die ander. Verkragting, wreedheid en moord het die norm geword vir hierdie aanvalle, terwyl die land die president en die polisie smeek om iets te doen om hierdie terreur te stop. Dit was juis die Boere wat die land deur die Covid-19-Grendeltyd in Suid-Afrika aan die gang gehou het. Selfs die onbaatsugtige optrede van die Boere en die druk om jou oë oop te hou vir moordenaars, het niks bygedra tot die onversoenbare houding van die president, Cyril Ramaposha, om iets te doen om die spanning op die Boere gemeenskap te verlig nie. In die president se oë is die woord ‘Boer’ ‘n vloekwoord ‘, en in sy eenvoud dink hy dat hy grond van die Boere sal wegneem en die res van die blankes in Suid-Afrika sal’ kook ‘om hulle eiendom gratis wegteneem! Die president se stilswye is die ja-woord vir plaasaanvallers, en dit blyk uit die swak bestuur van Suid-Afrika se grense en Cele se verklarings van verwerping van Boere-klagtes.
Die president kan miskien bogenoemde uitvoer, maar dit sal lewens kos en hom ook met niks laat nie. President Ramaphosa het duidelik sy kleur gewys met Afrikaner Monumente wat hy wil verwyder sonder om met die mense wat dit raak te konsulteer. Ramaphosa besef nie dat hy rasse haat stook en die tafel dek vir aanvalle of ANC Monumente nie, insluitend Mandela se beelde.
Naskrif: Daar word verwag dat die ANC-regering buitengewone aksie gaan neem teen Boere wat die hof bestorm het en wat die Polisie voertuig aan die brand gesteek het en in teenstelling daarmee sal geen aksie geneem word teen swart mense wat winkels met petrol bomme in Senekal verwoes het nie.
South Africa unites for Brendin.

Poem for Brendin Horner
The tragic and traumatic loss of life can deal out to the farming community is the death of a 21-year-old farmer, brutally murdered. The end of Brendin, a young farmer, means the loss of more than just a precious life. It represents the loss of future experiences and future hopes. No farming community or parents are prepared for the loss of a young farmer, and when it happens, their world is changed forever. The grief, guilt, and anguish felt against the government of South Africa are acute and lasting and terrorism.
Goodbye Best Friend
Brendin, I wish we could wake up and see you standing there.
Waiting for you that evening was a nightmare.
We remember when you started working on the farm, and we would hold your hand,
and you became one of the best and our best friend.
We have many memories that we will treasure and keep safe in our hearts.
We share a bond that time and distance can never break apart.
Oh, how our hearts ache so much Brendin.
Love to have you back and never let you go.
Where there was only happiness, the people executing you brought sadness.
How we long to hear your voice and see your beautiful smile
And have you back for just a little while.
Until that day we see you again,
We will look to the sky and search among the stars for our best friend.
Love, South Africa!
Brigadier Motantsi Makhele, police spokesperson, confirmed two suspects arrested last Saturday in connection with the murder of Brendin Horner. The two suspects were arrested in Fateng-tse-ntsho Township in Paul Roux by detectives from Senekal. Blood-stained clothes and shoes have been found and sent for forensic tests. Horner’s body found tied to a pole on Friday morning with severe injuries to his head and face. Police say knife found at the scene, and Horner’s Toyota Hilux pickup truck was found abandoned, with bloodstains inside. ‘It is suspected that the deceased could have spotted them on that fateful day and identified them with livestock thieves involved in the area. The police received calls from other farmers who reported the attack. Police found Horner, who was pronounced dead at the scene, with injuries to his head and face. The two suspects, aged 32 and 43, appeared in the Senekal Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday on a charge of murder but case adjourned.”
The brutality of farm murders and attacks regularly committed in South Africa with one shocking attack after another. Rape, cruelty and murder have become the norm for these attacks while the country begs the President and the Police to do something to stop this terror. It was precisely the Boers who kept the country going through the Covid-19 lockout period in South Africa. Even the selfless actions of the Boers and the pressure to keep your eyes open for murderers, contributed nothing to the irreconcilable attitude of specifically the President, Cyril Ramaposha, to do something to alleviate the stress on the Boer Community. In the President’s eyes, the word “Boer” is a “Curse Word”, and in his simplicity, he thinks he will take away farms from Boers and “cook” the rest of the whites in South Africa to be able to take away their property for free! The President’s silence is the yes word for farm attackers, and this is evident in the poor management of South Africa’s borders and Cele’s statements of rejection to Boer complaints.
The President may be able to carry out the above, but it will cost lives and also leave him with nothing. President Ramaphosa has clearly shown his colour with Afrikaner Monuments he wanted to be removed without consulting the people whom it represents. Ramaphosa does not realize that he is inciting racial hatred and setting the table for attacks or ANC Monuments, including Mandela’s statues.
Postscript: The ANC government is expected to take extraordinary action against Boers who stormed the court and who set the Police vehicle on fire and in contrast, it is also expected that no action will be taken against black people who firebombed shops in Senekal.
