Politicians and the mainstream media have had a field day whipping up racial narratives by pouncing on the events in Mkhondo ( Piet Retief). This comes after two brothers, Zenzele and Mgcini Coka, were shot dead and five people (4 white farmers & 1 black farm manager) were arrested for the alleged murder. We’ve heard at nauseam the political narratives, but what of the facts? BDL talk to Daily Friend journalist, Gabriel Crouse, who was on the ground and covered events in and around the court case in Mkhondo.
