On Wednesday, Cele visited Normandien - the northern KwaZulu-Natal community rocked by the double murder of farming couple, ‬Glen and Vida Rafferty. 


The Raffertys, who were both in their 60s, were ambushed, robbed and killed after they'd driven home on Saturday night. 


Their attackers fled in their car - which was later found abandoned.‪

Cele says they have got to get a handle on these senseless attacks. 


"Farm owners, farmers and farm workers - around every life aspect of a farm, we get that research, and we get the information of how can we use everybody and everything to create stability in terms of the communities that live together there."
