He says Afasa will attend the proceedings on Friday to support the family of Horner and to call on the government to speed up justice. "Nobody must use the death of our fellow farmer for political purposes." 

He says Afasa is also thankful that police minister Bheki Cele received a full document/report of the situation regarding stock theft in the Free State. This includes tendencies that there is an active syndicate in the province and when cases are reported police do not take action. "We hope that ultimately this corruption and theft will be rooted out."
