Tensions have been high in Senekal since last week, when violent scenes broke out after the two suspects were brought to court. After the matter was postponed, angry protesters demanded entry to the police cells.
A police van was overturned and set on fire during an out-of-court protest action.
Malema condemned the violence that he said threatened the judiciary.
“People fight in court, people beat each other in court. They are two individuals of friction facing each other, it is a heated space, we understand it. But you cannot threaten the judiciary and say ‘bring us this person, we want to kill this person’.
“When the judiciary says he must return to the cells, you follow him to the cells against the wishes of the judiciary.”
Many agreed with Malema’s views, in particular his response on whether an independent unit should be established to deal with the attacks on the farms.
“If we are to create a special unit, then it must be for the women and children who are killed every day in SA,” he said.
These are some of the reactions:
