S. A: THREE WHITE FARMERS FOUND GUILTY OF BRUTALLY KILLING AN INNOCENT BLACK MAN . (PHOTO).


 Three white farmers found guilty of brutally killing an innocent black man 


The farmers have been found guilty of murdering Dumisani Phakathi in Mamokgalieskraal after beating him while he collected water.


His body was later hidden in black refuse bags and discovered during a police stop on the R511 near Brits.


The court rejected the accused men’s attempts to blame one another and ruled the State proved the case beyond reasonable doubt.


Jaco Wessels Kemp, Louise Coetzee, and Gert Frederik van der Westhuizen attacked Phakathi at a chicken farm on 16 September 2023. The men were braaing when they saw him walk past the gate to fetch water from a nearby furrow. They assaulted him, dragged him into a storage facility, and continued the attack until he died.


At about 02:00 the next morning, police stopped Kemp and Coetzee on the R511. Officers found Phakathi’s bloodied body hidden under black refuse bags in their bakkie. Van der Westhuizen handed himself to police on 19 September 2023 after investigators linked him to the killing.


All three pleaded not guilty during trial, but the prosecution presented witness evidence that secured convictions. Sentencing is set for 16 March 2026.
