Free State farmers are again headed for court over what they describe as a chaotic situation along the rugged Lesotho border. The Afrikaans daily, Beeld, reports today that the government has failed to live up to its undertakings in a June 2010 settlement that was made an order of court.
“Although the government has complied with certain aspects of the original agreement, it is not living up to its responsibility to protect border farmers. A fence was erected, but it doesn't help if it is not protected. It won't even help if you built a wall here, because they will break it down.”
