Afrikaner farmer Nicolaas Jacobs, 64, farm Frisgewaagt, Nigel - missing after suspected attack

2011-12-02 - NIGEL, South Africa. The SAPS has launched an urgent search for farmer Nicolaas Jacobs, 64 -- who lived alone on the farm Frisgewaagt. He was last seen arriving at his homestead on Friday December 2011 in his white Opel Astra at 2pm. A witness heard the alarm go off shortly thereafter – and minutes later an ‘unknown man’ was seen chasing away at high speed with the farmer’s vehicle from the farm-gate. Electrical equipment is said to be missing. A case of house-robbery and kidnapping was lodged at the Nigel police-station. Mr Jan Petzer, head of the rural emergency-and-disaster organisation in Nigel, said at 8pm last night that ‘nobody knows the exact facts around Jacobs’ disappearance. A member of the organisation had apparently reacted to an emergency call from Jacobs but also was unable to find any sign of him. SAPS w/o Madeleine von Wielligh confirmed that they were searching for the farmer. Mr Peter said he was at the homestead and ‘it’s clear things have happened there but we do not know exactly what’.
