Pieter Doorewaard, 27, and Phillip Schutte, 34, were found guilty in October 2018 of killing Mosweu, of Scotland informal settlement in Coligny, in April 2017.

They accused him of stealing sunflower heads from their employer Pieter Karsten's field at Rietvlei farm about 3km from Coligny.

They claimed Mosweu jumped from a moving van while they were taking him to the police station, a claim the court has rejected. The sole eyewitness to the incident, Bonakele Pakisi, testified in court that Mosweu did not jump, but was thrown from the van.
