Senekal, South Africa

Members of the Economic Freedom Fighters protest outside the magistrates court where two suspects were to appear on charges of killing a white farmer in the area. The killing, allegedly by two black men, has stoked racial tensions in South Africa and threatened to ignite violence between racial groups in the Free State province. It has also highlighted concerns about the government’s inability to deal with crime in general and killings in the country’s rural and farming communities. Photograph: Themba Hadebe/AP
