FREE STATE FARM ATTACK: FARMER AND HIS SUSPECTED ATTACKER KILLED FREE STATE: A farmer and a farm attack suspect were shot and killed in the latest farm murder case to be reported in Weltevreden in Koppies here in the Free State on Tuesday 30 November 2021. Free State SAPS spokesperson, Brigadier Motantsi Makhele, said police had shot and killed an alleged farm attack suspect in Koppies after a gang of four men had earlier gunned down Johan Prinsloo, 73, on his farm, “Bosloo”, in the area, “An attempted murder and murder cases were opened for further investigation after a man suspected to have been involved in the earlier attack on the farm lost his life outside a plot in Weltevreden, Koppies,” Makhele said. He said the plot was located near the farm where Prinsloo had been murdered. “The police members including the Tactical Response Team (TRT) and farming community were already on the lookout for the four suspects when they received a call about a man with a firearm at the neighbouring plot,” Makhele said. “Members rushed to the plot and noticed the suspect. As they approached him, he ran into the bushy forest and started shooting towards the police,” Makhele said. “The members retaliated and

suspect was shot and fell under a tree where he was trying to take cover during the shooting. His other accomplices could not be found,” he said. Paramedics arrived and declared the farm murder suspect dead at the scene of the shooting. “A pistol with two magazines were found next to his body. His identity is not known yet,” Makhele said. He said the suspect had a tattoo on his left arm with the word’s “3M4 Jonas Mosola” and the words “Diphoso”, which might help the police to locate the man’s next of kin to formally identify him. Makhele said that the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) had been informed of the shooting, while police were investigating a case of murder related to the killing of Prinsloo. He said the police were also investigating a case of attempted murder regarding the shots that were fired at the police. He appealed to the public to provide the police with any information which might assist them to trace the other suspects. Contact Sergeant Kagiso Mere on 076 715 1597 or Branch Commander Captain Theresa Lategan at 071 473 5672. Information can also be provided to Crime Stop Number 08600 10111 or via MySAPS App.

Picture: And they're off, the start of the Time Trial the first day of the Motul Roof of Africa 2021, by Motul (Supplied)

THE 2021 MOTUL ROOF OF AFRICA DAY 1: A RIGHT ROYAL SEND-OFF AS THE MOTHER OF HARD ENDURO RETURNS There was a palpable sense of excitement at Thaba Bosiu, Lesotho on the morning of Thursday 25 November 2021 as the 2021 Motul Roof of Africa got underway. The adrenaline was tempered by relief – not only that the threatened rain held off for the entire morning, but also that the Roof was happening at all. This lent itself to a warm and genuine sense of community as old friends and rivals met up again – in many cases, for the first time since the last running of the Roof back in 2019. Once the pleasantries had been observed, the serious business of the Time Trial got underway. This year, the signal for hostilities (of the riding kind) to be resumed was a wave of the iconic blue, white and green Lesotho tricolour by the King of Lesotho, King Letsie III. His Majesty was accompanied by the Prime Minister, the Right Honorable Moeketsi Majoro and a delegation from the Lesotho Government. “Despite the clouds, all the Gold, Silver and Bronze Class competitors got to enjoy a nice, dry, clear run, as did most of the riders in the newly introduced Iron Class. With a mix of fast, flowing sections and some

more challenging technical areas, this was 55km of classic Lesotho riding and served as an excellent curtain-raiser for this year’s event,” commented Charan Moore, Race Director and Founder of Live Lesotho. Occupying the podium at the end of the Time Trial was Travis Teasdale (Trax TT Racing) who recorded the fastest time of the day with 1:28:51. In the process, he edged out defending champion Wade Young (Sherco Factory Racing) who took second place, just 20 seconds behind Teasdale. Matt Green (TT Racing) finished in third, a further 3 minutes 35 seconds behind Young. Coincidently, all three riders on the Gold Class podium have recently returned from competing on the European Hard Enduro circuit and it showed in their performances today. “We’re delighted to be back at the Motul Roof of Africa and to see that the standard of riding is as high as ever,” commented Mercia Jansen, Motul Area Manager for Southern and Eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean. “Today’s Time Trial delivered when it came to the excitement, and the stage has been set for an epic showdown in the Maluti

Mountains from tomorrow – exactly the sort of racing that has made the Roof a Hard Enduro legend,” she added. The competition was equally fierce in the Silver Category, with 2019’s Bronze Class winner Austin Stuart (Orange County KTM) making his intentions clear with a blisteringly quick time of 1:42.19, almost 10 minutes quicker than secondplaced Anthony Abrahamse (Roost KTM). Similarly in the Bronze Class, Time Trail winner Rory Gower came in almost 10 full minutes ahead of veteran Pieter Holl (Bert Smit Allstars). For the first time, the Roof included an Iron Class for ‘weekend warriors’ and this naturally generated a lot of interest, as well as giving rise to some excellent performances – not least Tiaan Rabe who finished ahead of Chris Weideman (Zenga Plant Hire). “With rain predicted for the next two days, it’s safe to say that the 2021 Motul Roof of Africa will represent a formidable challenge to all those who have entered,” concluded Moore. “The Mother of Hard Enduro is back!” Find awesome Roof images and video’s on the Motul Roof of Africa Facebook page
