A line of armed police officers is what stood between a 16-year-old girl and the farm where her father was shot and killed, as she demanded to see the man who is accused of killing him.
After the Piet Retief Magistrate s Court released Orchard Klingenberg, Danie Malan, Cornelius Greyling, Ignitius Steinberg and Senzele Yende on R10 000 bail each, a group of residents, including the teenage girl, and farm workers, who allege they have not been paid this month, gathered outside Pampoenkraal farm on Friday demanding salaries and justice.
The accused were granted bail after the Piet Retief Magistrate s Court ruled there was no evidence that the men would interfere with or intimidate witnesses as was argued by the State during their bail application.
