Authorities have launched a massive manhunt for Mayeso Ginora Lufeyo, the remaining suspect in a high-profile 2022 farm heist in Witsloot, Northern Cape. Lufeyo is one of four individuals accused of stealing gold and silver bars valued at R40 million, alongside firearms, in a violent farm robbery that has exposed the security vulnerabilities of rural farms in the region.

The daring robbery unfolded in the early hours of the morning when Lufeyo and his accomplices, armed and masked, stormed the farmhouse. Overpowering the farm’s security and holding its inhabitants at gunpoint, the group made off with a cache of gold and silver bars, along with a high-powered rifle. The stolen metals, believed to have been earmarked for export, represent one of the largest rural thefts in recent memory.

Fortunately, no lives were lost during the attack, but the incident has left the community shaken. Police suspect that the heist was part of a larger criminal operation targeting affluent farm owners.

Police Action and Appeal
Following the robbery, law enforcement initiated an intensive investigation, leading to the capture of three suspects. However, Lufeyo remains at large. A warrant for his arrest has been issued, and he faces multiple charges, including theft, armed robbery, and illegal possession of firearms.

Lufeyo is described as dangerous and familiar with the local terrain. Police have cautioned the public against approaching him and are urging anyone with information to contact local authorities or provide anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.

Spotlight on Rural Crime
The heist has brought renewed attention to the escalating crime rates in rural areas, particularly on farms where valuable assets are stored. Law enforcement officials have pledged to tighten security, increasing patrols and intelligence gathering in vulnerable regions.

“This robbery highlights the pressing need for enhanced security on rural farms,” said a police spokesperson. “We are committed to ensuring the safety of these communities and preventing such brazen attacks in the future.”

Community Impact
As the search for Lufeyo intensifies, local residents remain on edge. Farm owners have called for improved safety measures, while advocacy groups emphasize the importance of addressing broader issues surrounding rural crime.

Authorities remain hopeful that Lufeyo’s arrest will not only bring closure to this high-stakes case but also deter similar crimes in the future. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges rural communities face in safeguarding their livelihoods against increasingly organized and violent criminal activity.
