About Leentjie Adams
Leentjie Adams (1966 – 2023)
Brief overview:
Leentjie (57), a farm worker from Piketberg in the Western Cape went missing on 2nd September 2023 after visiting friends and family on a neighbouring farm. A search operation was organised and Leentjie's body was found covered with a partial zinc roof, between bushes, on Tuesday 5th at around 10h30.
Rural and Farmworkers Development Organisation executive director Billy Claasen urged police to leave no stone unturned in their investigation. “We call on the police and courts to do their work properly and also to impose harsher sentence on crimes like these so that these kind of evil attacks in the agricultural industry can be stopped,“ he said.
“We are truly saddened by another murder on a farm on Piket-bo-berg we want to send condolences to the family, but also want to ask for a definition of the term Plaasmoorde (farm murders) because when it's a white owner who is murdered... the murder gets investigated at a provincial level. We hope for the same justice for this case,” said Piketberg activist Hashim Scheepers."
Police spokesperson Joseph Swartbooi said Piketberg police were investigating a case of murder.
