Suspects allegedly boasted about ‘assaulting a white man on a farm’, court hears

The two men accused of murdering farm manager Brendin Horner allegedly boasted about assaulting a white man on a farm, according to witnesses. Sekwetje Mahlamba and Sekola Matlaletsa appeared in the Senekal Magistrate’s Court on Friday morning where they formally applied for bail.

Taking the stand, Mahlamba told the court that he knew nothing about Horner’s murder and that he was with his girlfriend on the night Horner was murdered on a farm in Paul Roux in the eastern Free State. Mahlamba told the court that he was never informed by police about the charges he faced and how he was linked to the murder. The State prosecutor, during cross examination, told the court that Mahlamba did not attend the festival according to a witness who hosted the event.

Another witness told the State that he saw both accused at a tavern in Paul Roux in the late afternoon on 2 October. The witness said that Mahlamba boasted about assaulting a white man on a farm. Another witness is said to have spoken to Matlaletsa who allegedly boasted about the same attack and gave details of the assault.
