Coffin assault judgment will be lesson for racists - Mlotshwa
Middelburg - Coffin assault victim Victor Mlotshwa says the judgment against two white men who forced him into a coffin will serve as a "lesson" to racists.
Judge Segopotje Sheila Mphahlele ruled on Friday that Willem Oosthuizen and Theo Jackson were guilty of assault, attempted murder, kidnapping and intimidation.
"The verdict will be a lesson to those who are engaging themselves in racism," Mlotshwa told reporters outside the Middelburg Magistrate's Court.
"I am feeling very good that they have been found guilty. I always said I wanted justice."
During proceedings the court gallery was packed to capacity with ANC, EFF and DA supporters.
