AfriForum will pay for famous advocate Barry Roux SC to appeal the lengthy sentences handed to two Coligny men found guilty of killing teenager Matlhomola Moshoeu, the lobby group has announced.
"AfriForum will fund the appeal costs to allow Advocate Barry Roux SC to take on the case. Advocate Gerrie Nel and his team at AfriForum’s private prosecution unit also provides support in investigating the case," AfriForum said after Wednesday's sentencing.
"The application to appeal will be brought within fourteen days."
