DA condemns farm attack near Estcourt

9 November 2021

At about 21:30 last night, John, Malcom and Doreen Moor were attacked by five armed men on their farm Moor Park.

The family were apparently held at gunpoint and handcuffs were apparently used to immobilise them. They were then locked in a room.

The attackers assaulted Malcom, who had just been in intensive care in hospital.  Family items including jewellery and guns were stolen during the attack.

The DA expresses our sympathies to the Moor family as they recover from the trauma of this vicious attack.

The attack was facilitated by the Eskom load-shedding that was on at the time and which had shut down some cell phone networks where cell phone tower backup batteries had been stolen. The ANC must take responsibility for these attacks and other crimes that are facilitated by the ANC malfeasance in destroying Eskom’s generation capacity, causing power blackouts and consequent communications and security failures.
