Eugene Terreblanche was the president and leader of the Afrikaner Weerstand Beweging (AWB). The political party is extreme right and very racist. He pleaded to re-install apartheid and was a forefighter of racial discrimination. Back in the '90s he had quite some followers, but the last few years the number of followers were like his ideas: marginal. He saw himself as a new Hitler, and was not afraid to say so. This can be seen in the flag the AWB has (see picture), very much like the Nazi Swatsika.
He was brutally murdered by two of his black domestic workers, one 28 years old, the other only 15. They jumped him in his sleep and bashed his skull withand iron rod. Their motive was that they had not been paid for their work since December 2009. Some argue that this murder was inspired by the hatespeech of Julius Malema, the ANC Youth president who has been trying to get the "Kill the Boer" song registered as national heritage. That song was used by black anti-Apartheid fighters in the 90's and calls to kill whites. It says "one Boer one bullet"; A "Boer" means peasant aka white South African.
