ActionSA welcomes the arrest of the 80-year-old man linked to the brutal murder and secret burial of a farmworker in Kroonstad. This arrest follows weeks of public outcry and relentless pressure from the community for justice to be served.
The gruesome discovery of the victim’s body in a shallow grave has shocked the nation and once again exposed the vulnerabilities faced by farmworkers and poor communities across our province. We commend the police for acting decisively in arresting the suspect, and we call on them to ensure that the investigation is thorough, transparent, and leads to the arrest of all those involved.
While we are encouraged that justice is beginning to take its course, we remain vigilant. ActionSA will closely monitor developments in this case to ensure there are no delays or attempts to shield anyone from accountability based on age, social status, or connections.
South Africans deserve a justice system that treats every life with equal value. No family should be left in anguish, and no community should feel abandoned when crimes of this nature occur.
ActionSA extends its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased and assures them of our continued support as the case proceeds. Justice must not only be done, but it must also be seen to be done.
