Outrage after Cape farmer accused of beating man with steel pipe gets bail

Cape Town – Prominent Vredendal farmer Wilfred Stephan’s memberships of the DA and lobby group AfriForum have been suspended after his arrest for allegedly assaulting farm dweller Piet van Zyl with a steel pipe, breaking his leg in three places. Stephan, the ex-husband of the previous DA mayor of Matzikama Municipality, appeared in the Vredendal Magistrate’s Court yesterday.

Rural and Farmworkers Development Organisation executive director Billy Claassen said that the community was angry about the treatment Stephan had received from the authorities. “They then moved the bail hearing to a later time and issued him with a mere R1 000 bail, all so he wouldn’t have to face the community,” he said.

The case was postponed to April 5 for further investigation and a preliminary hearing has been set for June in the Vredendal Magistrate’s Court.
