In a live Facebook video last Thursday, Winckler raised pertinent questions about farm murders.


Winckler's comments got a large number of South Africans riled up. 


He said wearing black would not solve the problem and that farm murders is not about race.


"It is not a race thing. We are making it a race thing. That is not the way we are going to get a better nation."


Winckler has since posted a new video apologising for any offense which his video might have caused.


Thousands of South Africans - who sympathise with the plight of farmers - are wearing black on Monday.
