Five South African Boer activists accused of “inciting violence” for the crime of protesting are due to face trial on Oct. 14. Plaintiff Willem Petzer accused authorities of “torture” while they were in prison.
Five Afrikaner activists were arrested and charged with “inciting violence” for protesting outside a courthouse in Groblersdal, Limpopo (former Northern Transvaal) on Jan. 24 after two White farmers were arrested in an altercation with a Black farm worker, as The Gateway Pundit reported.
Farmers Piet Groenewald (63) and stepson Stephan Greef (27) were arrested and accused of sic’ing a dog on a Black farm worker in Grobersdal in a violent altercation on Jan. 17. The farmers claimed the farm worker Veneruru Kavari (30) was drunk and destructive, and attacked them with a panga (machete) and a pick axe handle. Accusations of White farmers sic’ing dogs on Black workers are heavily racially charged due to Apartheid history in South Africa.
Local Afrikaners believed the two men were arrested because they were White. About 100 Afrikaner supporters gathered outside the Groblersdal courthouse on January 24 to protest what they viewed as racially motivated arrests. Authorities accused five of them, including YouTuber Willem Petzer and the son of country music star Steve Hofmeyr, Devon Hofmeyer, of “inciting violence”, despite no evidence they had done anything of the sort.
Black protestors from the radical Economic Freedom Fighters Party (EFF) who also gathered to protest outside the court house were not accused of “inciting violence”. The EFF is known for singing the “Struggle song” “Kill the Boer,” which is not considered “hate speech” by the South African Human Rights Count

The accused, Francois van der Merwe, Willem Petzer, Devon Hofmeyr, Tewie Wessels, and Andries Diederick Olivier, were released on bail Feb. 19.
The trial date has now been set for Oct. 14 in regional court in Groblersdal, Limpopo.
Petzer criticized the way the trial is being dragged out. “They will keep postponing it for as long as they possibly can to make our lives hell,” he told The Gateway Pundit.
Petzer says he and his co-accused were subjected to “torture” during their arrest through sleep deprivation, which he said violated the 1995 UN Convention against Torture and amounted to a “war crime,” according to Maroela Media.
“This is how monsters are born,” Petzer said in a video…
