RUSTENBURG - The North West High Court heard a raft of high profile cases in the past year, ranging from the so-called Coligny sunflower murder to the killing of miners in Marikana.
Pieter Doorewaard and Phillip Schutte, convicted of killing a 16-year-old boy in Coligny, spent the festive season with their families after they were released on bail. The North West High Court granted them R20 000 bail each in November, pending their appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein.
Doorewaard was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment and Schutte to 23 years for killing Matlhomola Jonas Mosweu of Scotland informal settlement in Coligny, on April 20, 2017. They successfully petitioned the SCA after the North West High Court refused them leave to appeal, following claims that the State's star witness had confessed that he lied to the court.
