terre’blanche ‘hacked to death with panga’
Leader of the Afrikaner Weerstandbeweging Eugene Terre’blanche has been murdered.
According to the official newsreel of the AWB:
It is with shock, dismay, frustration and the greatest of emotional pain that we were informed that our leader, Eugene Terre’Blanche was murdered on his farm Villanna (meaning “Home of Anna”) just outside Ventersdorp called around 17:00 this afternoon.
Details are sketchy, but from reports by people at the scene there was an argument with one of his black farm workers this afternoon. Later, while he was taking an afternoon nap, the farm worker, incited by others, entered his house and hacked him to death with a panga (chopping knife used for clearing bushes).
Just last month I noted with interest that the AWB had revamped their old campaign. With die Leier gone, where to now for the AWB? Watch this space.
