Jaco HumanFarmer killed by Buffalo
On the news it was reported that a 35 year old farmer from the Waterberg Region in the Limpopo province was killed by a Buffalo. He was hunting with a client when the Buffalo stormed and killed him. He died on the spot. It was not clear from the news report if they were hunting Buffalo or not. It was also not mentioned if it was a wounded Buffalo or not.
My condolences to the Steenkamp family.
