The pair was arrested for their alleged role in a fiery protest in the small Free State town earlier this year.  


The protests in Senekal were sparked by the murder of 21-year-old farm manager Brendan Horner. 


Pienaar and Fourie appeared in the Senekal Magistrate's Court on Friday morning. 


The matter has been postponed to March 1 next year for further investigation, Pienaar's lawyer Jacques Potgieter confirmed. 


Both men are out on R15 000 bail each.
