APARTHEID ROADTRIP




Terre'Blanche's supporters have said that the murder is part of a larger


pattern of anti-white "farm murders" in South Africa


The AWB retracted earlier calls to avenge the murder


as Zuma appealed for peace


The two suspects appeared in court in Ventersdorp on 6 April 2010


amid racially charged scenes and were charged with murder, robbery


and for injuring the dignity of ET


by leaving his pants pulled down after killing him


Thousands attended ET’s funeral held at noon on 9 April 2010


at Ventersdorp Protestant Church


The murder took place amid a racial controversy in South Africa involving


the singing of which includes the lyrics “shoot the boer” ("Dubul' ibhunu")


Speculation that ET had sexually


harassed one or both of the accused was raised by some publications


ET was murdered on his farm villana ,


just outside Ventersdorp, on 3 April 2010. He was reportedly beaten to death while napping


With pipes and

panga (machetes),


by two black males (then aged 28 & 15) allegedly over a wage dispute


ET spent three years in prison for assaulting a black petrol station worker


and for the attempted murder of a black security guard in 1996






Following the end of apartheid ET & his supporters sought amnesty


for the storming of the World Trade Centre,


“the battle of Ventersdorp”, & other acts


Including threatening civil war to maintain white rule in SA in the 1980’s & 1990’s.


Amnesty was granted by the Truth & Reconciliation Commission South Africa


Transition to post apartheid democracy,


saw ET revising his stances as he urged his followers to push for an independent Afrikaner homeland, “Boerevolkstaat�


ET labelled in his lifetime


“white supremacist”, “nationalist”, and “racist”


Terre’Blanche loved by many


Hated by many more


Let us each take responsibility


for the part we’ve played in Apartheid
