JOHANNESBURG - Violence erupted outside the Senekal Magistrate's Court in Free State on Tuesday afternoon following a clash between police and farmers in the area.
Last week, farm manager, Brendin Horner, was found murdered and tied to a pole.
On Tuesday, two men appeared in court in connection with the murder.
Hundreds of farmers gathered outside the court in a show of support for Horner's family.
The farmers demanded the accused be handed over to them resulting in the clash.
