Eugène Terre’Blanche was murdered on his farm today just outside Ventersdorp. He was attacked while sleeping by two workers that worked on the farm. According to the workers they got in a argument earlier upon which they responded with a panga and a “knopkierie”.
The time they attacked Eugene was around 5pm, when police got there he was lying on the bed with serious head wounds and wounds to his upper body. He was still alive but later died in hospital at around 7pm.
According to the workers that attacked him they got in a argument, police said the attack was not politically motivated but that will only be revealed if true during the investigation.
The police arrested the two suspects who confessed to the killing. Eugene did not permanantly live on the farm but slep there once in a while.
Social networks are buzzing with many saying that this is because of Julius Malema’s recent “kill the boer” campaign. Last week Julius Malema was ordered by the court to stop singing the “kill the boer” or “shoot the boer” song.

VENTERSDORP, South Africa (The Sentinel) – Whites and blacks faced off angrily in song in front of a heavily guarded courthouse Tuesday where a teenager and another farm worker who reportedly confessed to killing a white supremacist leader in a wage dispute were charged with murder.
The older of the two suspects was walked out of the courthouse hours later, placed into a police vehicle and driven away. By then, white protesters had gone, leaving only hundreds of blacks who screamed, ululated and whistled in support.
“We are celebrating the death of the man who has abused us so much,” one woman in the crowd shouted.
