Steve was only recent, but ET came from a long time ago and he was (albeit usually) a very outspoken Boer and fought hard for his people and country.

violence begets violence - nobody wins.
I am hoping sense and calm will prevail.
No offense intended , but it is the stupidity of mankind that allows hate and war , amongst others , to take place .
Something just does not add up. First they kill him with pangas and then just hand themselfs over to police? This is a first for a farm murder. And then police indicate within a few hours (and during a long weekend) that this killing is not political motivated? This is truly a first for SA Police.
it is definite that Eugene terreblanche has been murdered... Now me as a white SOUTH AFRICAN thinks that this is over a wage dispute, I am disgusted as to what is being said on some forums on the internet. Namely the landover Baptist Church forum. It is totally disgusting that there are people who are against democracy. Yes Eugene has his point of view and in this day and age (in my opinion was wrong) and was a total idiot....

The next few weeks are going to be interesting as well as the "trial" of the murderers.
Eugene Terreblanche killed in South Africa

Mr Terreblanche wanted a separate white homeland
South African white supremacist leader Eugene Terreblanche has been killed on his farm in the country's north-west.
Mr Terreblanche, 69, was beaten to death after a dispute over unpaid wages, local media reports said. Two people are said to have been arrested.
Mr Terreblanche, who campaigned for a separate white homeland, came to prominence in the early 1980s.
He became the champion of a tiny minority determined to stop the process that was bringing apartheid to an end.
"Mr Terreblanche's body was found on the bed with facial and head injuries," AFP news agency quoted a police spokesman as saying.
The report said he had been killed after a payment dispute with two workers, who have since been charged with his murder.
"He was hacked to death while he was taking a nap," a family friend in the town of Ventersdorp was quoted as telling Reuters news agency.
The murder comes amid growing anxiety about crime in South Africa and what opposition politicians say are irresponsible and racially inflammatory sentiments from a minority of the ruling ANC party, says the BBC's Karen Allen in Johannesburg.
Attempted murder
Mr Terreblanche was released from prison in 2004 after serving three years of a five-year term for attempted murder.
He had founded the white supremacist Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (Afrikaner Resistance Movement - AWB) party in 1970, to oppose what he regarded as the liberal policies of the then-South African leader, John Vorster.
His party tried terrorist tactics and threatened civil war in the run-up to South Africa's first democratic elections.
In the 1980s, the government of PW Botha considered a constitutional plan allowing South Africa's Asian and coloured (mixed-race) minorities to vote for racially-segregated parliamentary chambers.
For the likes of Mr Terreblanche, this was the start of the slippery slope towards democracy, communism, black rule and the destruction of the Afrikaner nation, analysts say.
Claiming on occasion to be a cultural organisation - albeit one with sidearms and paramilitary uniforms - Mr Terreblanche and his men promised to fight for the survival of the white tribe of Africa.
Mr Terreblance continued to campaign to preserve the apartheid system until the early 1990s but had lived in relative obscurity since it collapsed.
The AWB was revived two years ago and there had been recent efforts to form a united front among white far-right groups.
Jeez, but you people are taking things to the extreme here! RELAX FFS!!!!
Murders happen everyday! why freak out all of a sudden? ET probably deserved it more than the avarege Joe next door. was murded And I honestly feel forhis family, but FFS stop with this "now lets fight" bullsh*t now..
Lots of things don't add up.
He & the two killers were alone at the farm so he won't be contradicting the wages claim.
He was arguing about wages on his bed?
He employed (illegally) a 15 year old?
Not politically motivated? SAPS can say what they like with no testimony to the contrary.
Most likely the killers will get nominal bail and vanish.
In the unlikely event that this ever comes to trial the evidence will be so messed up that an acquittal has to be as certain as the result in a one horse race.
It's only about a year ago that Tony Yengeni got off his drunk driving charge because the SAPS station commander fiddled the docs so that the case failed. Although the station commander was "dismissed" I eagerly wait to see what cushy job he will be given as a reward for fixing that embarrassment to the ANC.
My guess is that the two were instructed to hand themselves over after the killing and were promised immunity by their paymasters.

And the American government was responsible for 9/11.
