Hundreds of black protesters gathered at the court, hoping to catch a glimpse of Pieter Odendaal, 44, a white South African accused of tying a black employee to the back of his pick-up truck and then dragging him five kilometres to his death. Protesters vented their frustration by throwing stones and sticks at riot police who guarded the court house." We wanted to see this man's face so if they release him we can track him down and kill him," one man said. Another held up a sign calling for the return of the death penalty.
