In Britain, the farming community and the gypsy community know each other. About 20 years ago, there was a high-profile shooting in Britain, this article from the Guardian gives an overview: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/apr/19/audreygillan
It's a bit too bleeding-heart for my taste, even the Guardian admits to policing difficulties, there's little surprise that someone might take the law in their own hands if the government is absent. You'd guess similar dynamics are at play in South Africa.
These are high profile things. Most low profile murders in most places are among family and friends and coworkers and such. Or people who are doing crimes together.
The Britain and US would be places where it is exactly like that.
As in, south african farmers situation is unusual here.
