The EFF leadership will attend the court case of two white men, accused of assaulting a black man on a farm and forcing him into a coffin.

The incident is believed to have occurred at the JM De Beer Boerdery next to Komati Power Station in Mpumalanga.

EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said in a statement, “This humiliation can be based on nothing else but his blackness, which means it is in actual fact a humiliation of black people as a whole.”
