Ganyesa- The Congress of South African Trade Unions in the North West has learned that a white racist farmer who owns a shop at Ganyesa in Kagisano- Molopo assaulted a young 9 year-old boy in an attempt to kill him, as the assault includes tying him with snakes around the neck and a chain around the body.

“It is alleged that the boy was stole a small packet of chips and that is why he was so brutally assaulted in a racial manner. It is also reported that the same white man has many snakes that he uses to intimidate African black people, including two old women who have collapsed when they were intimidated with those snakes” Cosatu provincial secretary general Solly Phetoe said.

A case has been opened with the police since 2nd June 2014, with case number 93/05/2014. The name of the boy is Keobakile Gabafediwe, and his mother is Miss O Gabafediwe’s; her contact number is 0765948890. But up to today the white racist man has not been arrested and we are told he has ran away to Bloemfontein, says Phetoe.

“Today the communities around the local village were on their way to demand the arrest of the man and they found that he was not there. They demanded that all the shops and the petrol station must be closed but the police refused and it is alleged that, in front of the police, a business man pointed a gun at the community members who were demanding the station to be closed” He said.

Cosatu call on the police to intervene and arrest the white racist man and the man who pointed the gun during this engagement in front of the police, and also to investigate all the allegations against the white man and the allegation of corruption against some of our police in the area for the way they are treating this rich white man who uses his money to kill poor people.

“We are told that the young man is now mentally-disturbed with many injuries including a broken arm. The white racist must take responsibility of all the costs including paying for all that he did and spend his life in jail for what he did to our young boy. We are told that the man will be appearing in court on Monday if he is arrested and we call on the police to oppose the bail until he gets a trial date” Phetoe said.
