Protests Erupt in Vlakfontein as Murder Accused Walks Free

Violent protests erupted in Vlakfontein on Friday as a result of murder charges against Fita Khupe being dropped unexpectedly.

Khupe stood co-accused for the murder of seven people, whose lifeless bodies had been discovered under heaps of dirt at a Vlakfontein home in October 2018. The killing of the Khoza family sent shockwaves through South Africa and sparked a nationwide manhunt for the culprits.

Ernest Mabaso and Fita Khupe, who were both known to the Khoza family, were arrested for the murders days after the bodies of the four children and three women were discovered.
