The owner and the driver of the unlicensed earthmover which was involved in Monday’s fatal accident will be granted five-hundred-Rands bail each.

The accident took place near Wellington in the Boland when eight farm workers died after the truck they were travelling in smashed into the earthmover and plunged over the bridge.

The case against the driver Isak Stuurman and the owner James van Rooyen will resume in the Tulbagh Magistrates court early in April.

At this stage the two are facing charges of culpable homicide.
