In a protest dubbed “Black Monday” about high number of farm murders in a South Africa, a convoy of cars are protesting on motorways in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Campaigners have urged people to wear black to show their outrage at the spate of farm killings, especially after the death of a white farmer in Klapmuts near Stellenbosch.

Last Tuesday, Joubert Conradie, 47, was shot on his farm and died later at the Stellenbosch Mediclinic.

The BBC’s Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg says the protests are already causing racial divisions after some of the Afrikaner protesters were seen carrying the old apartheid flag.

Others point out that all races are the targets of killings in South Africa.
