    ANDRE KORB: FARMER ROOIKOPPIES MARIKANA
    00.57.15 HE'S FARM IS NEXT TO OUR FARM AND yes I know him since he was a baby.
    00.57.35 We as a farming community believe there is something to kill the farmers something after it and definitely we are going to see what
    00.57.50 We have to solve the problem. It's I think it's enough now.. Enough farmers has been killed the last few years.
    00.57.59 SINISTER POWER BEHIND IT? Yes definitely. I beluieve it's also political it's definitely not just to murder and get some money or something Definitely it must be political.
    00.58.31 I think we are moving the same as Zimbabwe. They took all the farmers' rifles away in Zim.. NEW LAW TO TAKE OUR
    00.58.43 Yes I think we are going to be in the same footsteps as Zimbabwe.
    00.58.55 I think we've had enough.
    00.58.59 We cannot go on talking.
    00.59.04 we talked to the minister ;ast week, I think he's got the message that enough is enough.
    00.59.38 COMMANDOS PRO-GOVERNMENT - TRY SOLVE PROBLEMS OURSELVES BUT NOT VERY EASY WE CANNOT TAKE THE LAW INTO OUR OWN HANDS
    01.00.05 We haven't got any power but I can tell you we will make some plans definitely. We've got a meeting at the end off this week again - PLANS ON TABLE
    01.00.51 5 YEARS AGO - I SHOT ONE AND CAUGHT THE OTHER -= HE'S STILL IN JAIL
    01.01.16 RELATIONS FARMERS V EMPLOYESS They are also very scared for this ttype of thing
    01.02.31 MINES
    01.03.09 We're definitely not running away from our farms. No we will stay on our farms. You know most of those farms are in the families between 100 and 150 years
    01.03.21 So defeintely in our area, we're not moving off our farms.
    01.04.53 We think it's political and they try to get the farmers off the farms. It won't be so easy
    01.05.11 No we're definitely not scared. If there's nothing coming from the government in the next few months, I can tell you the farmers definitely are going to take law in their hands.
    01.05.34 VIDEO TRAINING
    01.05.43 yes we as farmers there something in that that video exists definitely.
    01.06.05 Somebody must have told them to go to that specific farm and murder that guy. I believe there's some cooperation in the area also.
    01.06.20 We think they are working with the government, try to intimidate the people,the farmers to leave the farm.
