Eugene Terreblanche, the leader of the white nationalist Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), was hacked and bludgeoned to death by two of his black farmhands in a dispute over wages on Saturday, according to South African police.
The body of the controversial activist who rose to prominence in the 1980s was found on his bed with facial and head injuries. Adele Myburgh, a police spokeswoman, said that a machete was found on his body and a knobkerry club was lying next to the bed.
His attackers were a 21-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy who worked for him on his farm outside Ventersdorp, about 68 miles (110 km) north west of Johannesburg, she said. The pair, who have been arrested and charged with murder, told police that there had been a dispute because they were not paid for work they had done on the farm.
Jacob Zuma, the South African President, appealed for calm after what he described as a “terrible deed”. In a statement he called for “South Africans not to allow agent provocateurs to take advantage of this situation by inciting or fuelling racial hatred”.
The opposition Democratic Alliance party blamed increasing racial tensions for the killing.
“This happened in a province where racial tension in the rural farming community is increasingly being fuelled by irresponsible racist utterances by two members of the governing African National Council,” said Juanita Terblanche, the Democratic Alliance legislator for that constituency.
Ms Terblanche, who is not related to the far-right leader, said that her party did not share his political convictions but warned that the attack on him could be seen as an attack on the diverse components of South Africa’s democracy.
Mr Terreblanche, with his gruff, heavily accented tones, became a familiar figure in the dying days of apartheid, fighting for the retention of white-supremacist rule. His 1980s campaign for a separate white homeland made him the champion of a tiny minority determined to stop the process that was bringing apartheid to an end.
A former policeman, he founded the AWB in 1973, initially as a secret society. In 1979, however, it sprang to prominence after it tarred and feathered a liberal Afrikaans professor who had dared to suggest reforms to Afrikaner rituals that the AWB held sacred. Mr Terreblanche subsequently dogged any Afrikaner politician whom he suspected of selling out to the blacks.
He affected the dress and style of a 19th-century Voortrekker and won a not inconsiderable number of hardline converts to his views that a black revolution — or democracy — had to be avoided at all costs.
In 1982 he was given a suspended sentence for possessing arms and explosives but, wholly unabashed, in 1986 launched Brandwag (Sentry), a commando organisation to protect whites and white property. H had continual skirmishes with the police but his following grew as the Afrikaner leadership prepared to negotiate with the ANC, raising fears on the far Right.
Once F.W. De Klerk opened negotiations in 1990, Mr Terreblanche came into his own, claiming that his movement alone stood between South Africa and communist revolution. In 1993 an armoured vehicle driven by the AWB smashed through a large police cordon and into the World Trade Centre in Johannesburg, where negotiations where taking place.
In 1994 the AWB launched an ill-fated military intervention into the Bophuthatswana homeland that ended with three AWB men being butchered in the street in full view of TV cameras. This clear military incapacity, together with the arrival of democracy, robbed Mr Terreblanche of most of his following and significance. He declared that the “war is over” and turned to defending individual white right-wingers.
In 1992 the documentary-maker Nick Broomfield made a film about Mr Terreblanche. Mr Terreblanche admitted “moral responsibility” for car bombs that killed 17 people and put South Africa’s first democratic elections under threat in 1994.
In 1997 he was sentenced to six years in jail after he assaulted one worker and attempted to kill another. He was imprisoned again in 2001 for attempted murder and served three years of a five-year sentence.
He became a born-again Christian and claimed to have moderated his views but, by 2008, he had refounded the AWB and was again agitating for a separate white homeland.
Many Afrikaners saw him as a ridiculous figure but his outrageous style and outspokenness won him a sneaking regard from many. His death is a big political event in South Africa and the far Right will now claim that Mr Terreblanche has joined the ranks of Afrikaner martyrs who died for die volk.
Speaking in 2005, he said: “I have always been made out as a racist, someone who hates black people. I don’t hate them. I grew up with them. I just know there are many differences between whites and blacks and I will always believe it.”

The Chinese are taking over Africa country by country and they are rubbing their hands with glee as idiotic African quote rulers unquote sell off mineral rights, farming rights, and water rights to Chinese companies. And they are importing thousands and thousands of workers organized in brigades, who just happen to be PRC soldiers dressed in civilian clothes. At the drop of a hat they can turn back into trained military and wipe out the African opposition and let’s be frank the African armies are practically useless because the middle ranks are completely decimated by AIDS and other AIDS related diseases. So the Chinese will just wait until they have a bunch of soldiers in several contiguous countries and there is global confusion from some other crisis, or maybe, a big sporting event, and then they will act and wipe out any Africans who get in their way. Welcome to the future an Africa completely free of black Africans….
You stupid KAFFER cunt! Do you even know that the meaning for boer is farmer? It is actually these farmers that produce mealies for your pap, that you eat with your hands, like the dumb fucking animal you are! No wonder your race doesnt have wisdom teeth, how ironic? All you are doing is fuelling the oncoming revolution. No wonder Mugabes people are starving, because he showed you the way! You are a spineless coward and the new generation freedom figters are not just whites against blacks, but all people who are tired of primates ruling our country, murdering, plundering, raping and corrupting. You might need a dictionary for some of these words, so just break into another house like your brothers and sisters and steal one. Just remember not to make a fire in your kaya with it and burn it down, because that would problably also be the white mans fault cause you stole it from him! From a BOER.

In 25 years whites are minority in the US, once blacks wake up with our help, your kids will see the end of the whites in the US.
Watch the end of the filth whites in SA, it will give you a clear picture of the US in 25 years.
well stupid ape,let me explain ya something:
u mention 25 years and other fantasies from your african jackal “rugby ball”/head.I wish it starts something as you mentioned and will take probably a maximum of 1 year to get rid of all sort of crap from white nations.
remember monkey-donkey, you are not gonna go too far with a machete and “somali air force one”. u will be wiped off with ease.so,pray something starts and to wake up the majority of dormant white brainwashed masses.
by the way,is the Shuttle/Soyouz rockets a Burkina Fasso’s design/conception :-D ?
so,fuck off u dirty mud and keep ur filthy muzzle shut
:-D …but Africa WILL again be ruled by Whites thanks to the AIDS disease…we won’t have to pull a trigger…just dig a hole…and flop you in, you stupid nigger! It is just a mater of time…and we live longer than you…so WE WILL WIN! Sucker!
hey nigger,
someone’s thinking your race is a liason between man and monkey.I do not think so. I think monkeys are better than blacks.
You are even more stupid then the Boers, you see I moved to another place now, I guess I moved to the UK………….
(Like you live in the UK scum what you use is called Proxy idiot).
While NO white country wants those filthy white boers, they run here like chickens hiding before the big massive slaughter beggin and you and your white wanker friends are going to read the news and do nothing……….. enjoy the soccer games sucker .
I am just amazed why it took us so much time to wake up and see how stupid you whites are.
listen “somali engineer” or fucking ape to cut it short,i used the colour/name of the flag since a monkey like you should not be called by any name,rather than “mack-a-ka-goon-guu”.

what are u doing in europe,u f** ape with luxembourg flag? the white man taught ya to write and read. that’s the maximum u are able to afford.
if the whites leave africa u will go back into stone age,despite wot i mentioned above.
White racists – you may dream all you want but know this, NEVER AGAIN will Africa be ruled by whites. EVER. This continent is for black people and will be ruled by the black people FOREVER.
The sooner you get this through your thick racist skulls the better for you. If you don’t like it the way it is, too bad. So go back to Europe or whatever hole whites crawled out of in the first place before massive slaughter beggins
Fucking Boers got rich by raping and pillaging and enslaving black natives.. once rich.. they didn’t SHARE the wealth.. blacks remain a massive majority and amongst the poorest people on Earth compared with Boers gained control of South Africa and believe it is God’s land for them………
Since 1995, 800,000 of 4 million fucken Whites have abandoned the country and moved abroad.
We are 45 millions blacks so fuck off whites.
Mugabe showed us the way, “we will not live up to the white man’s standards but we will bring him down to ours”, whites will be brought down to live in poverty …….. we learned the best lesson……… Mugabe exterminates all the whites while you shut your white mouth and don’t say a word…………….
White morals……… what a joke.
:-x :-x so what are you doing outside SA? i’M A WHITE South African, Proud of it, I do not claim this country as my own, but ours. I was not responsible for the past, but the future is in our hands now. Hate and disrespect means failure. It can work, my life is proof. Yes and I am a business owner, and no I do not only employ whites, but I do only employ women. You will reap what you sow…. :) :)
Once a maggot himself, now he’s food for the maggots.
Ditto…James and Vlad…too bad Terry had clung to the past and still employed his “hired help”…I know of volks who transfered their money out of the country, burned their farms, and moved to South America…I think we’ll find that this murder was over his desire to resurrect AWB, and not unpaid wages…a political murder directed by the mud who runs SA.
yeah slobo,that’s his fatal mistake”!
amen,james!
A brave White man, our kinsman, has been murdered in cold blood by heathens.
For all the good he did, there is one area where he failed and it is the same area where so many of our people fail.
We are to be holy and separate people! That is a MUST for our survival. I understand that in this babylonian world the Edomite jews have created, that we must have dealings with some non-Israelite WHITES, but it should only be professional. If you own a business and you are White, you OWE it to your heritage and progeny to only employ Whites.
Be HOLY. Be SEPARATE.
