JOHANNESBURG – With anger rising in the Free State farming community after the murder of farm manager Brendin Horner, Police Minister Bheki Cele will visit the city of Senekal next week.
The body of Horner, 22, was found tied to a post last week in the area.
The arrests of two suspects infuriated the community which broke loose and damaged state property on Tuesday.
The images show a group of farmers, mainly white, overturning and setting fire to a police vehicle, in front of the Senekal Magistrates Court.
They asked the police to hand over the two men arrested in connection with Horner’s murder.
Andre Pienaar was arrested Wednesday for his alleged role in the chaos and charged with attempted murder, intentional damage to property and incitement to violence and terrorism.
Police Minister spokesman Lirandzu Themba said: “The minister has denounced the murder. The minister will go to the Free State to visit the family ”.
