A group of angry community members marched through the area yesterday.  

This after a 30-year-old man was shot dead - allegedly by a farm security guard - while fishing at a local dam earlier this week.  

A 21-year-old man arrested in connection with the shooting is due to apply for bail next week.   

Several hundred acres of sugarcane and farmhouse were set alight yesterday - allegedly by angry protestors.
