A prominent member of Afrikaner right-wing group Bittereinders found himself embroiled in a nasty assault case at a popular Pretoria pub this past weekend.
Francois van der Merwe, the director of the group, appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Wednesday after he allegedly used a 750ml bottle of Richelieu brandy to hit a man over the head.
Van der Merwe was charged with assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
