Trial will shed light on Wild Coast violence

A trial related to an outbreak of violence over the Xolobeni Mineral Sands Project looks set to expose deep and bitter divisions in the Amadiba community on the Wild Coast.
Even close family members have been caught up on opposite sides of the cycle of violence, and to date, there have not been any notable prosecutions.
But this could change after 11 February when five accused stand trial in the Bizana magistrates court on charges ranging from attempted murder, assault to do grievous bodily harm, vandalism, housebreaking and theft. Their victims were allegedly people opposed to the mining plans, including Tholozani Dlamini, who now suffers from a crippled leg.
