Eugene Terreblanche murdered in another NW farm attack

The DA in the North West expressed its outrage and concern about the latest North West farm attack in which Eugene Terreblanche was murdered with a panga.

This happened in a province where racial tension in the rural farming community increasingly is being fueled by irresponsible racist utterences by the leader of the ANCYL Leader Julius Malema and the North West Cosatu Secretary, Solly Pheto.

The DA did not share Terreblanche's political conviction but an attack of this nature can be regarded as an attack on the diverse components of the South African democracy. The DA NW wishes to convey our condolences to Mrs Terreblanche and fami;ly.

The DA calls for people to remain calm and on the ANC to strongly condemn racist utterances which has become synonymous with Malema and his ilk.
