Terreblanche killing blamed on hate speech

A South African white supremacist leader was bludgeoned to death by two of his farm workers in an apparent wage dispute, police said, but his followers today blamed a fiery youth leader for a “hate speech” which they claim led to his killing.

Eugene Terreblanche’s violent death on Saturday came amid growing racial tensions in the once white-led country and underscored an ongoing controversy over African National Congress Youth Leader Julius Malema’s performance last month of an apartheid-era song that advocates the killing of white farmers.
