One of the two people accused of murdering AWB leader Eugene Terre'Blanche was led out of court amidst cheers and ululation on Tuesday shortly after lunchtime.

Police led one of the accused, with a jacket fixed firmly over his head blocking his face from view, out of the court and into a waiting Nyala.

The Nyala left the court in convoy with a number of police vehicles, sirens blaring.

The accused was wearing grey pants and a white belt.

Cheering crowd

As the vehicle drove off, the crowd cheered and ululated and shouted.

"Viva, Viva," they said, jumping and clenching their fists as the van drove off.

"They are our heroes — they did us proud," said Simon Molefe while jumping with joy.

Reporters wait to be briefed

Reporters were waiting to be briefed on the court proceedings, which were to take place in camera, due to the age of one of the accused.

Earlier, NPA head Menzi Simelane told the media the prosecuting authority had met representatives from the community, the AWB and the community policing forum to explain how court proceedings would unfold.

I wonder how far we have come with regards to race relations and reconcilliation when people cheer murder suspects for the very deeds any civilized nation would be totally shocked and outraged by?:confused:
 
He must have been a very hated man, either that or yet again the media has stirred this into something more than it is.

Why because people wouldn't celebrate the murder of a man simply because he's a "boer"?

Rather naive
 
We're talking about Eugene Terre'Blanche here - not surprising people are glad he's dead.
 
Whites would also cheer (just more subtle) when Malema is killed...

He's the sort of guy that gave boers a bad name. You seem to forget what he went to prison for.

Not to defend E.T., but what - Pray Tell - did Mandela go to jail for again?

Thought so.

Hardly. It's just naive of you to leave that possibility out.

The man was a despicable individual sorry Voicy but that's my opinion of him going by what I heard of him

Are you actually going to compare political actions against a facist regime to a racial attack on petrol attendant?

Hardly. It's just naive of you to leave that possibility out.

Naive of me to leave what possibilities out?
 
what i don't understand is most of the guys who were ululating and shouting barely even knew him from a bar of soap i personally think that this whole thing is being pulled out of proportion and that most (younger generation) don't have a clue what terreblanche did or what he stood for

That's my point. They could know nothing more than a boer has been killed

Well they were from the same (very small) town so I'm sure they knew what he's done.

I think its more what he stood for and the fact that the AWB is seen as the hating all blacks.

I barely even know who he was. I just knew he was pro apartheid

Well they were from the same (very small) town so I'm sure they knew what he's done.

If he was pro apartheid why were "black" people working on his farm? Why did one of his black workers claim he was a good man.

What could he have done in that city that no-one heard about but only the city?

very strange indeed...
