Two white South African men appeared in court on Wednesday on charges of assault and kidnapping after a video showed them forcing a wailing black man into a coffin. He told reporters outside court he wanted justice. The case has caused outrage in a country where deep racial divides persist 22 years after the fall of apartheid. The radical left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, which campaigns for a more even distribution of wealth between white and black South Africans, led a rally outside the court. Black people make up 80 per cent of South Africa's 54 million population yet most of the economy remains in the hands of white people, who account for about 8 percent of the population.
