Farm attacks or attacks on farmers you always have the attacks on policemen, farmers, or whatever it is, but it was such a large escalation of attacks on the farming community, on the farmers as such that as I mentioned to you that even mass meetings were called by the farming community, in other words there was a tremendous escalation during this period 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992.  If I think, I don't have the facts and figures in front of me, but it was as if it was a continuous increase in murders and attacks during the period from 1989 to 1992, perhaps even past 1992, 1993 and when you think of attacks on farmers you think of maybe in the Free State you have something less than 10 000 commercial farmers and if you have an attack a week on a farmer, that is quite a lot.  It is not that you have an attack out of a million people, you have out of 10 000 people, you know, in total I don't think the commercial farmers in the Free State would have been more than 10 000 during that period of time and we have had sometimes two attacks a week on the farming community where farmers were killed or they escaped with their lives.  So yes it was an increase and I think this period in 1990, 1991 was one of the most brutal as far as attacks on the farming community are concerned..
