Farmers' unions say the number of murders each year is rising and attacks are at their highest level since 1990  Working on a South African farm is the country's most dangerous occupation, with twice as many farm workers killed as police officers each year, according to farmers' unions. The number of farm murders rose to 67 in 2014 from 62 the previous year, Afriforum and the Transvaal Agricultural Union (TAU) said. There were 277 farm attacks in 2014, which the organisation believes is the highest figure since 1990.  The 132.2 murders on farms per 100,000 people is more than double the murder rate for policeman at 54.4 per 100,000 people, the unions added, and 32.2 per 100,000 for the country's population as a whole.
