Donderdag 26/03/2026 het Mike Von Backstrom katte op n baie wrede manier dood geskiet en ook gedreig om die versorger van die katte te skiet Sy vrou Suzanne is die hoof opsteker wat n groot probleem het met die katte op die perseel by Silverlakes.Om n vuurwapen daar af te vuur is ook onwettig waarvoor hy miskien ook nie n lisensie het nie. Sedert Donderdag 26/03/2026 praat almal maar daar is geen werklike aksie nie Intussen dreig die stiefseun Gustav Botha ook dat hy al die katte gaan doodmaak.Ons moet nou opstaan en hierdie wrede monsters van Silverlakes met alle krag aanvat en uitsorteer want hulle tyd van wreedheid is nou verby.As daar enige lede is wat wil help om katjies te gaan haal en versorg moet hulle my kontak vir polisie ondersteuning wat ek sal reel.Hierdie lede op hierdie groep is nie bang vir katte moordenaars nie.

*************************************************

On Thursday, 26/03/2026, Mike Von Backstrom shot cats in a very cruel manner and also threatened to shoot the caregiver of the cats. His wife, Suzanne, is the main instigator who has a major problem with the cats on the premises at Silverlakes. Discharging a firearm there is also illegal, for which he may not even have a license.

Since Thursday, 26/03/2026, everyone has been talking, but there has been no real action. In the meantime, the stepson, Gustav Botha, has also threatened to kill all the cats.

We must now stand up and confront these cruel monsters of Silverlakes with full force and deal with them, because their time of cruelty is now over. If there are any members who would like to help fetch and care for the kittens, they should contact me for police support, which I will arrange.

The members of this group are not afraid of cat killers.

A Pretoria business owner is at the centre of outrage after he allegedly shot and killed feral cats with a shotgun on a property of a lodge in Silver Lakes in front of eyewitnesses, before allegedly threatening people who tried to stop him.

Juanita Cronje, who lives on the lodge property in Silver Lakes, said she and her fiancé moved there about four years ago. About a year later, she noticed people dumping tame cats in the area, and the animals began living on the lodge’s premises.

“I am an animal lover and could not stand the thought of these cats being dumped and left to fend for themselves, so I made sure to feed them,” she said.

Cronje said she had turned to social media for assistance as the number of cats continued to grow. This was not successful.

Her fiancé, Tobie Mynaardt, works for the lodge owner, Mike von Backström.

According to Cronje, Von Backström had repeatedly threatened to shoot and kill the cats and had allegedly even put out poison for them. She alleged that matters escalated on Thursday when Von Backström arrived on the property and started shooting at the cats with a shotgun.

“I was busy in the bathroom when I heard the first shot. I tried to look out the window, but I could not see what was going on, so I ran outside and saw Mike with the shotgun. A black cat started running in my direction, and I shouted at Mike to stop shooting. He screamed and said that if I did not get out of the way, he would shoot me as well. He then shot the black cat as it was walking towards me. I was in complete shock, and he was sitting in his bakkie with his shotgun, laughing like a crazy person,” she said.

Cronje claimed that he then left, but promised to return to shoot the rest of the cats. She immediately phoned Mynaardt, who rushed home. Cronje said she later passed out from the shock.
