Outpouring of apathy as 49 non-neo-Nazi South Africans also murdered
VENTERSDORP. South Africa's police and media have reacted with an outpouring of apathy after 49 people who weren't Eugene Terre'blanche were also murdered on Saturday. According to the victims' families very few of them had been rabidly racist neo-Nazis, but they said they understood that their loved ones hadn't been that important.
Eugene Terre'blanche, murdered on Saturday, had been the self-proclaimed leader of the Boer nation although most Afrikaner farmers polled this morning were not aware either that had a nation or that Terre'blanche had been its leader.
Senior police officials rushed to Terre'blanche's family farm in Ventersdorp, a small farming town located between the 18th and 19th Centuries.
This morning they were at pains to explain that Terre'blanche's murder had not been political.
"It's exactly like the other 49 murders that happened today," said newly militarized police chief, Field Marshall Air Commodore Rear Admiral Bheki Cele. "And exactly like the 50 murders that happened on Sunday. And the 50 that are happening on Monday, and Tuesday, and, er, you get the picture."
Families of Saturday's 49 victims said that they weren't quite sure why Mr Terre'blanche's family had received a high-profile visit if his death had not been political, but conceded that perhaps it was because their dead loved-ones had not been famous neo-Nazi white supremacists who had once beaten a petrol attendant into a vegetative state and called for a race war in 1994.
"He was clearly quite important," admitted one grieving mother. "Much more important to South Africa than my daughter who was only in Grade 11 and only wanted to be an accountant and not the leader of an imaginary nation."
Meanwhile the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) has vowed revenge, prompting white South Africans who do not think that Apartheid was a brilliant idea to call on it to "chill the ***** out".
"We're awkward enough about the last 350 years as it is," said one white observer. "For those of us who are only moderately racist these crackers with their tight shorts and Village People moustaches are beyond the pale."
Julius Malema, currently in Zimbabwe, said he would comment on Terre'blanche's death as soon as he had finished giving Robert Mugabe a sensual massage and Brazilian wax.
Just to add a little perspective here, even if it is satirical
