An 80-year-old South African woman who was kidnapped and brutally beaten by attackers who then abandoned her in neighbouring Lesotho has been discharged from hospital.

The attackers raided Daleen van der Hoven's farm in the Free State province, last week.

The attackers dropped her off in Lesotho, clothed only in her nightgown in temperatures of -5°C. They also burnt her car which they had used to get away.

The suspects stole several thousand rand in cash, valuable family heirlooms such as jewellery and three rifles that belonged to her father.

The four alleged attackers, all assumed to be Lesotho citizens, fled across the border with Ms Van der Hoven in the back seat.

Her daughter Lize du Plessis told News24 that police in Lesotho had arrested two men with criminal records in South Africa in connection with the incident.

Ms Du Plessis said her mother's doctor had called her "an iron woman".

She added that her mum was recovering at home.

There's a greater chance she is. Remember apartheid?

In Nigeria you're too quick to label all black South Africans xenophobic but exanorate the whites for their decades long crime against humanity.

Hope the attackers won't be tagged 'Nigerians' o?
