A WHITE farmer who had a black labourer stripped naked and painted for allegedly trespassing on his land was on Tuesday fined R3200 by the Heidelberg Magistrate’s Court, east of Johannesburg. Frederick de Beer, a farmer from Mpumalanga province, was also given an 18-month jail sentence, suspended for four years, after being found guilty of kidnapping and assaulting labourer Moses Nkosi in July last year. Farm worker Andries Majola, who stripped and painted Nkosi head-to-toe on De Beer’s orders, was sentenced to eight months in jail, suspended for four years. Nkosi told reporters after the sentencing that De Beer has already given him R2000 as compensation and that he is expecting another R1200 rand. “I still don’t forgive them,” he added.
