Faction Fighting.
Today started with a lot of shooting around the farm where I work. The big clash between two different factions happend 100m from the pack house. I had a first class seat to a gun battle. The manor if which they moved seems to indicate that some have had military training.
Needles to say this all scared the living s#1t out of my staff. This makes farming really difficult.
One SAPS van arrived, the two guys didn't stay long.

Re: Faction Fighting.
Eish. Any idea why they used your farm as the chosen battleground?
Edit: that’s some heavy firepower there.

Re: Faction Fighting.
Factions?
Like anc vs ifp? Or tribal feuds, or gangs?

Re: Faction Fighting.
Seeing where author is from can be both factional or political, or even about dagga. Lots of problems that keeps simmering over the years in the Drakensberg hills for as long as I can remember.

Re: Faction Fighting.
Tribal. Althou all are Zulu, and under the same chief, they are from different areas, each with their own induna, or headman. The indunas have very little control over the guys fighting, or so it seems. Today was over stock theft, so I've been told. I suspect there are much more complex issues involved.
