A date has been set for the Andries Tatane murder trial. Eight police members are facing various charges in connection with Tatane’s death during a service delivery protest in the Free State in April.

News footage showed Tatane, a resident of Ficksburg, being severely beaten by police before he was shot in the chest at close range.

The accused appeared briefly in the Ficksburg Regional Court today, where the trial was set down for November.
