It’s a race hatred killing, says EFF

JOHANNESBURG — The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) are the latest to weigh in on the murder of a man at a funeral allegedly by a farmer on whose farm the ceremony was held at the weekend.

EFF spokesperson, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi said it was evidence of white racial hatred and raised the question of access to land for farm workers.

The murder in Otto’s Bluff near Cramond in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands occurred after farmer Edward Solomon, who appeared in the New Hanover Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, disrupted the funeral and asked mourners to leave.
