Cape Town - A farmworker who was allegedly assaulted by a father and son said although he still is fearful of his accused attackers, he was grateful for the communityâs support at court this week.
Anthony Koopman was supported by Murraysburg residents outside the magistrateâs court this week, as the assault matter continued against his alleged attackers.
Koopman, a freelance farmworker, said he was attacked by the father and son in February last year after the pair accused him of stealing and killing their sheep.
Koopman said his ordeal started after he experienced trouble with his bicycle, when suddenly he was âaccosted by a man who had jumped from behind bushesâ.
