3 April 2010, 22:57
The leader of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging Eugene Terre'blanche has reportedly been murdered on his farm in the North West province.
The DA in the North West has expressed its outrage and concern about Terre'blanche's murder as this has happened in a "province where racial tension in the rural farming community increasingly is being fuelled by irresponsible racist utterances by the leader of the ANCYL Leader Julius Malema and the North West Cosatu Secretary, Solly Pheto".
DA member of parliament Juanita Terblanche says the party does not share the AWB leader's political conviction "but an attack of this nature can be regarded as an attack on the diverse components of the South African democracy".
The country's national opposition expresses their condolences to the Mrs Terre'blanche and his family.
The DA called for people to "remain calm" and on the ANC to strongly condemn racist utterances.
According to 702's Eyewitness News, Terre'blanche's murder has been confirmed by police.
