Tensions run high at Parys farmers' trial

Police used barbed wire to separate two groups of protesters who yesterday gathered outside the Parys Magistrate's Court, where four farmers appeared accused of killing two men. The groupings, made up of ANC, EFF and supporters of the four farmers, sang racially provocative songs and taunted each other as they waited for the four men - Anton Loggeburg, Gert van der Westhuizen and Mocke and Johan Cilliers - to appear for a bail hearing.
