YCL welcomes conviction of “Prieska Killer Farmer” 22 June 2011
The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] welcomes the conviction yesterday of ‘Prieska Killer Farmer’ Johan van Niekerk and his co-accused, Gert van Vuuren who four years ago murdered Richard Mkhari and his four dogs. Mkhari, who was 45 years at the time, died tragically and whose body was discovered months later tied on a tree with wounds.This news comes as relief to us as an organisation, and also to the family and community of Prieska that ultimately the law has taken its course. As the YCL, we are disappointed that the trial has taken more than four years as justice delayed is justice denied. However, we are excited that our justice system can and will deal with farmers who regards black people’s lives as cheap and can be taken any time. The YCL calls on organisations such as AfriForum and Solidarity to condemn such killings and not be one-sided when they speak of farm killings.
