The Kiffness Hails Donovan Marx's Recovery After Farm Attack

• South African musician The Kiffness praised Donovan Marx after the farm attack survivor walked out of hospital just 16 days after the brutal ordeal
• DA MP Ian Cameron also welcomed Marx's recovery, acknowledging the medical and emergency teams who helped save his life
• Four men accused of the 28 October attack near Ventersdorp are expected in court for their formal bail application, which the State intends to oppose

Farm attack survivor Donovan Marx's remarkable hospital discharge has drawn warm responses from South African musician The Kiffness and DA MP Ian Cameron, with both men publicly celebrating the North West farmer's extraordinary recovery.

Marx walked out of Mediclinic Potchefstroom on Thursday, 12 November, only 16 days after suffering gunshot and stab wounds in a brutal attack near Ventersdorp on 28 October. His wife, Louise, had previously called his survival "nothing less than a miracle and a testimony of God's grace."

Video footage of Marx's discharge, which shows him singing praises to God alongside hospital staff and church members, was shared on X by The Kiffness, whose real name is David Scott. Alongside an English translation of the Afrikaans worship song in the clip, he wrote:

"The spirit of the Afrikaner is unbreakable. Targeted farm attacks remain a huge issue in South Africa, but our President @CyrilRamaphosa denies that they are happening."

Ramaphosa has previously condemned violent crime against farmers and farmworkers but has rejected claims of a white genocide in South Africa. Authorities have not publicly established a racial motive for the attack on Marx.

Briefly News reached out to The Kiffness for comment prior to publication but had not received a response at the time of writing.
