Default Hey, some progress!!!


Maybe the world's young people are finally getting the message.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — South Africa's far-right leader Eugene
Terreblanche who campaigned for a separate white homeland was murdered
on Saturday on his farm, the SAPA news agency reported.

The 69-year-old Afrikaans Resistance Movement leader was attacked and
killed on his farm in the north-west after an alleged dispute with two
workers, one a minor, over unpaid wages. The two were arrested and
charged with his murder.

"Mr Terreblanche's body was found on the bed with facial and head
injuries," police spokesman Adele Myburgh was quoted as saying.

"A 21-year-old man and 15-year-old boy were arrested and charged for
his murder. The two told the police that the argument ensued because
they were not paid for the work they did on the farm," she said.

Terreblanche's white supremacist supporters, characterised by khaki
uniforms and the organisation's swastika-like symbol, violently
opposed the talks that led to South Africa's democracy.

Their campaign included bomb attacks ahead of the 1994 polls.

Terreblanche was released from prison in 2004 after having been jailed
in 2001 for an attack on a black security guard.
