Doesn't metter if you care for his politics or not this death will push S.A closer to major internal conflict!!
South African President Jacob Zuma called Sunday for calm following the murder of white supremacist leader Eugene Terre'Blanche as his party vowed to avenge the killing. The 69-year-old leader of the extremist Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB, Afrikaner Resistance Movement) was brutally killed by black workers on his farm on Saturday evening, sparking fears of renewed race tensions.

P.S. Bet this turns into a race based flame war inside 10 post (if it gets that many)
The rise in tensions was inevitable as the AWB was recruiting and rebuilding it's ranks before this happened. This crime may throw fuel on the fire for sure.
I don't know enough about the politics there to coment knwoingly but take a look at the cause of the dispute. Not getting paid $41 (USD) for a months worth of pay. They were working for just about $1 a day and didn't get paid. That would p!$$ me off. The pay inecuity is driving problems everywhere.
