The killing of white farmers is a highly emotive issue in South Africa.
Some conservative groups say the farmers are victims of a genocide and the government is not doing enough to protect them.
Emotions ran high Friday as two black suspects appeared in a South African court over the murder of a white farmer which has sparked racial tensions.
A barbed wire fence ringed the court house in the central town of Senekal and police and a water cannon were deployed as opposing groups of white farmers and black activists gathered near the site.
