Following a rise in reports of farm murders in SA, thousands have come together in protest against the violence.
Dressed all in black in honour of farmers who have been killed, protesters gathered early on Monday morning at various points across the country, including Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Pretoria.
A convoy of tractors and other farming vehicles is currently heading from Stellenbosch to Cape Town and several roads have been blocked off. Here are 21 pictures of the protest action so far:
