The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in the Free State have vowed to shut down the medical practice of a Kroonstad doctor, following shocking revelations linked to his grandson.
The grandson is accused of shooting and killing a Black man before burying him in a shallow, unmarked grave on the family’s farm.

The party staged demonstrations outside the doctor’s practice, demanding accountability and swift justice.
Police confirmed that they discovered the decomposed body of an unidentified man last month on farmland along the road between Kroonstad and Welkom. A murder case, along with a charge of defeating the ends of justice, has since been opened.
