In the video clip, a bakkie believed to be that of Federal Stene owner's son can be seen driving through the crowd at high speed.

Another video shows people running away as gunshots are fired, allegedly by the driver of the bakkie."What makes us angry is that the person who did this is walking free just because he has money. There is no justice for the poor in this country," Malatji said.

Malatji said Mokoena, who relocated from their home in Limpopo in search of greener pastures years ago, joined a community unemployment structure and hoped she would find a job.Mokoena's close friend, Dudu Shabalala, recalled the shock of seeing her friend lying dead on the ground. Shabalala said they had both left home in the morning to attend a march to two factory plants, Federal Stene and Gradco, which are under the same company.

Shabalala said she moved away from Mokoena to check on what was happening when she heard a commotion a few metres away from where they were standing. "All of a sudden, a bakkie drove through the crowd at a very high speed. People were running away. The bakkie came back and I ran to the other side of the road," she said."When I got there I kept asking 'where is Hilda?' They pointed me to the ground where she was lying dead."
