Desmond Naidoo (d.o.b. unknown - 2008)

Brief overview:

Desmond, a sugar can farmer, was murdered on Band farm in the Bhoboyi area of Umzimkulu, KZN on 22nd January 2008.

He was reported missing a day earlier, and his body was found burnt beyond recognition in the boot of his vehicle.

The gruesome discovery has led to the KwaZulu-Natal Agricultural Union (Kwanalu) reiterating its call for the government to implement a strategy to fight the murder of farmers.
