Makonde Farm Under Fire Over Boy's Harvester Death

Parents want justice for their 12-year-old son who died three years ago at Ottoman Farm. The boy suffered head injuries and a broken leg after a combine harvester struck him. Douglas Zhanero drove the machine that killed the child but courts cleared him of culpable homicide charges. Tafadzwa Chineni and her husband believe their son deserves better. They rushed to the accident scene and found their child under a blanket.

The father noticed the body did not match typical tractor accident injuries. Zhanero admitted he caused the death during early questioning. The driver first pleaded guilty but later changed his plea to not guilty. Court proceedings dragged on for months with multiple hearings. The parents suspect corruption influenced the final verdict.

Tichaona Moffart thinks money changed hands to protect the driver. Zhanero claims he thought he caused the accident but was legally cleared. The farm owner Brink Bosman denies any wrongdoing and wants police to investigate the family instead. He calls accusations against him false and says authorities can examine his actions. The family continues seeking answers about what really happened that day.
