Two who forced man into coffin to appear in court
Two white men who are seen on video allegedly forcing a black man into a coffin are expected to appear in the Middelburg Magistrate Court for a formal bail application tomorrow.
They face charges of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The EFF in Mpumalanga has laid charges on behalf of the man who was allegedly assaulted and forced into a coffin.
A video of the incident has gone viral.
The video shows Victor Mlotshwa being forced to lay down in a coffin by two white men.

The EFF's provincial chairperson Collen Sedibe says the party will make sure that the two are not granted bail.
"We are going to be at court with the national leadership to make sure they do not get bail, because what they did was inhumane and is racist in the worst form," says Sedibe.
