Johannesburg – A farmer who was sentenced for murdering a black person is to approach the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) to argue for the invalidation of his conviction.
Alfred Jan Bezuidenhout, 59, was convicted in 2018 in the Vosloorus Regional Court and jailed for 15 years for mercilessly killing cattle herder Bisani Tshukelo.
Magistrate Suren Harichand ruled in the lower court that prosecutor India Roos had proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Bezuidenhout had shot Tshukelo in the head in 2016.
Tshukelo was herding cattle in Mapleton on the East Rand when Bezuidenhout shot him.
