Robbers cut the soles off an 62-year-old man’s feet before forcing him and his wife to put their feet in a bath of boiling water. This was in KwaZulu Natal, and is only ONE of the attacks happening on farms and smallholdings in South Africa. In another attack, an elderly couple were beaten with hammers while the thieves got away with a car, some money and a cellphone. The car was abandoned a few kilometres away.
