Three people have been arrested for the attack on two black teens at the Maselspoort Resort in Bloemfontein during Christmas celebrations.
The trio was nabbed on Wednesday morning after a video surfaced on social media earlier in the week in which two siblings were seen being pushed, strangled and held underwater by the group.
Two of the men have already appeared in court on charges of common assault and crimen injuria, while the third suspect is set to appear in court on Thursday. Thirty-three-year-old Johan Nel from Bothaville and forty-seven-year-old Jan van der Westhuizen from Brandfort are the first to face the consequences for the alleged racially motivated attack on two black teens at the Maselspoort Resort.
The Nakedi siblings claim that they were told that they weren’t welcome to swim in the communal pool as it was reserved for white people.
Free State police spokesperson Motantsi Makhele said that Nel and Van der Westhuizen appeared in court on Wednesday.
