Video: Coffins paraded outside of court

Whilst the state and defence delivered their final arguments inside the courtroom in Middelburg, ANC supporters danced outside, parading two coffins with the faces of the accused stapled to them, in front of the court building.

Judge Sheila Mpahlele heard final arguments from legal council and postponed the matter until Friday when she will deliver judgement.

During a short adjournment, Victor Mlotshwa, the man who was put in a coffin by Willem Oosthuyzen and Theo Jackson, was carried around on the shoulders of protesters, with the two coffins flanking him on either side.
