The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Free State has threatened to shut down the medical practice of a Kroonstad doctor whose grandson they are accusing of shooting and killing a man and burying him in an unmarked shallow grave on his farm.
Members of the party held demonstrations outside the surgery calling for justice.
Police say they discovered the decomposed body of the unknown man last month on a farm next to the road between Kroonstad and Welkom.
A case of murder and defeating the ends of justice has been opened.
EFF Free State deputy chairperson Thomas Macingwane confronted the doctor who is the grandfather of the alleged killer.
EFF: “So there are six people and then he shot at them and then he killed one of them. What happened to the body?”
Dr Koos Troskie: “What happened to the..”
EFF: “To the body of the dead man.”
Dr Koos Troskie: “The body of the dead man?”
EFF: “Yes”
Dr Koos Troskie: “Yes I know I did a wrong thing I should have called the police.”
EFF: “So you admit you buried the dead man.”
Dr Koos Troskie: “Yes if I didn’t bury him immediately, the jackals would have eaten him but I should [have] called the police.”
