Police Minister Bheki Cele has called on police officers at Senekal in the Free State to arrest those responsible for the chaos that erupted outside the local Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
The Minister says storming the court building and destroying police property will not be tolerated.
Cele also questioned the motives of the protesters who turned their anger towards the police.
Emotions ran high outside the court building where hundreds of farmers and community members gathered to demand justice for 22-year-old farm manager Brendin Horner who was brutally murdered on a farm in Paul Roux last week.
The Minister did not only condemn Horner's brutal murder but also the unlawful actions of the protesters seeking access to the two suspects arrested in connection with his killing.
The 32-year-old Sekwetje Mahlamba and 44-year-old Sekola Matlaletsa, appeared briefly in court on Tuesday where the matter was postponed to the 16th of October.
