Trial
date set for South Africa 'racist' student video - 24
February
Four white students accused of making a racist video in South
Africa will face trial, after attempts failed to resolve the
matter out of court. The Bloemfontein Magistrates court has
set down the case for the end of July. During Wednesday's
brief appearance, the state announced that the mediation
process between the students and the cleaners had failed and
that the court needed to resolve the matter. The court had
previously suggested that the parties go through a process of
"restorative justice" - where people are encouraged
to reconcile rather than seeking punishment for their
aggressors. - BBC News
