SENEKAL, SOUTH AFRICA – 2020/10/16: EFF leader Julius Malema and members of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) chant slogans outside the the magistrates court during the protest. A tense standoff between white farmers and Black activists gripped the South African town of Senekal, as two men accused of killing a white farm manager were to appear in court. More than 100 police patrolled the area in front of the courthouse in the Free State province and used barbed wire to separate the rival groups.
