Legal heavyweights Barry Roux and AfriForum’s Gerrie Nel will fight the appeal proceedings of the farmworkers convicted of the murder of a Coligny teenager.

The pair, who went head to head during Oscar Pistorius’s trial, say although the murder of teenager Matlhomola Mosweu was “very sad”, the two accused are not guilty.
