A small group of Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging supporters were gathered outside the High Court in Ventersdorp on Monday morning.

The group, dressed in camouflage uniforms, were awaiting the resumption of the trial of two farmworkers for the murder of rightwing leader Eugene Terre'Blanche.

Cars were draped in AWB regalia and flags and the group played Afrikaans music including the controversial song De La Ray.

The case was postponed in October last year.

Chris Mahlangu and a minor are accused of beating and hacking the former AWB leader to death in his farmhouse in North West in April 2010.

Both have pleaded not guilty to murder, housebreaking, and robbery with aggravating circumstances.

Mahlangu claims he acted in self defence. The teenager has denied involvement in the crime. - Sapa
