Keyser worked alongside his mother Cathleen Keyster, and his cousin Randall Keyster, on the Klipfontein Farm, in Darling, under the ownership of AF Kirsten.

“They must investigate this matter, even if a person dies in a car accident, the person is charged with culpable homicide. The Commission will have to act without fear or favour,” he said. “Life is precious, farmworkers, unfortunately, like domestic workers have been seen at the bottom of the line and people think they can do whatever they can do what they want to do, which is unfair, every life matters, even farm workers.

“His body was taken off the farm and transported to Malmesbury Mortuary, where I had to identify him the following day,” she said. “We have received no paperwork regarding workman’s compensation or any mentioning of it, or any acknowledgement by the Department of Labour. They didn't even have the decency to offer their condolences to my sister, and the people who were on the truck, on the day the incident happened, had to continue working despite being traumatised,” said Ohlson.WARD councillor Barbara Rass speaks about deceased Ronaldo Ricardo Keyster and the circumstances surrounding his death.
