Pampoenkraal case: EFF files complaint against magistrate granting bail to ‘Ku Klux Klan’
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has linked the five men accused of killing two brothers on a farm in Mpumalanga to the Ku Klux Klan.
The red berets were reacting to the decision by the Piet Retief Magistrate’s Court to grant bail to the five men accused of the killing of the Coka brothers.
The party described the granting of bail to the five suspects as a “miscarriage of justice that demonstrates an untransformed judiciary”.
The EFF’s provincial office released a statement on Saturday.

The party says it will lodge a complaint with the Magistrate Commission after Magistrate Sam Fankomo “demonstrated the highest incompetency”.
Daniel Malan, Cornelius Greyling, Othard Klingberg, Michael Sternberg and Zenzele Yende were granted bail of R10 000 on Friday morning.
They are accused of killing two brothers, Zenzele and Amos Coka, at the Pampoenkraal farm.
“The courts should not be accomplices to injustice and the brutal murder of our landless people.”
The party further went on to compare the men to the controversial and outlawed Ku Klux Klan.
