The brutal killing of 69-year old white supremacist Eugene Terre'Blanche ("white land") on his farm yesterday is the temporary culmination of a hate campaign unleashed by the ANC and its Youth League leader Julius Malema. For weeks South Africans have been bombarded with hate speeches against whites (tourists for the World Cup in June beware!). Malema, who is destined to succeed Jacob Zuma one day to become the nation's president, ostensibly has blared out in public the battle hymn "Kill the Boers" until the courts stopped him last week.
The damage, however, was done, and on the same day as Terre'Blanche was hacked to death in his bedroom Mr Malema was cheered by thousands of black activists who already succeeded in Rhodesian "land reform" - meaning the uncontrolled land grab by uneducated and untrained black marauders who have either killed or chased off white farmers from their productive farms. Malema has arrived to a hero's welcome in Harare with Zanu-PF members singing his "Dubul ibhunu" song. He, in turn, thanked for the encouragement and promised to turn South Africa into the same "freed land as Zimbabwe is today," foreboding the bloodshed, mayhem and terror that is to come.
The black killers of Mr Terre'Blanche, who deserves little sympathy for his belligerent racist pro-Apartheid past but who had lived in obscurity for the last 15 years, have been caught; by black police. Terre'Blanche has become one of the 90 white farmers who on average are being slaughtered each year as the ANC's campaign to "free the land for the blacks" has become an intricit part of South African land reform. The ANC also targets the mining industry to "free black workers from the shackles of the Boers (and De Beers).
South Africa has taken a huge step towards civil unrest now and more mayhem is guaranteed. The country's president, ANC chieftain Jacob Zuma, has appealed for calm. It is a hollow message from a man who started the acerbic rhetoric that has radicalised the ANC and whose hoodlums swing the axes and brandish the spears to fusilate any white South African in their way. Terre'Blanche's murder marks the start of a sinister larger plot to destroy South Africa from within.

Terreblanche was number 3386 since 1994. These were all callous farm murders where violence and slow death was the real purpose, and not theft.
And unfortunately some more farm murders have been reported since.
You are absolutely right and it is good to see that someone keeps an accurate count.
In the face of this wave of brutal, unprovoked murders South Africans must not put pink shades up or look the other way: today it is the whites who take the brunt of black violence; tomorrow it will be the Asian minority, then the Jews, then blacks from other countries (we have seen already sporadic xenophobic violence against those)...
Maybe WC2010 will open the eyes of foreign governments to the atrocities being committed by the ANC.
