Cape Town – Flippie Engelbrecht, the teenage son of a farmworker, showed no signs of having been assaulted, and made false claims against a farm manager and a farm owner to get money from them, the Worcester Magistrate’s Court has heard.
Advocate Pieter Botha put this to Engelbrecht’s father, Flippie Engelbrecht sr, who testified that both he and his son were assaulted.
Botha is defending the manager of Robertson wine farm Rietvallei, Wilhelm “Dozi” Treurnicht, who has pleaded not guilty to assaulting Engelbrecht jr with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm.
