Dear sir
I am writing this to seek for a help pertaining the way we are treated in the farm Buffelvallei farm no 170 between Groblersdal and Stoffberg.
In 2008 the farmer decided to relocate farm dwellers to another are which is close to the tar road. My Late grand father preferred not to be relocated due to various reasons. We were left in the area alone with our live stock. In 2017 another white man came and told us that he is renting the whole farm from the owner who is living in Germany and suggested that we must follow the rest of the people who moved before because he want to do gaming and add more wild animals. Unfortunately we did not agree due to some reasons including the fact that our cattle would be grazing in a very small area. Well the case was already in court. Last year early the cherif came with other white men and and private securities and took our cattle to their desired area. Our main concern is our cattle are no longer safe there they get stolen because we are away from them and they are even causing accidents there because they are free to go to the tar road. We don't know where to go for help!! We are reporting this to different departments but we are getting nothing possitve instead we feel like there's no justice between us and that white man. Please assist, the situation is getting worse!!
Your assistance will be highly appreciated
