SAFRICA: Guilty Verdict in Murder of White Supremacist

Chris Mahlangu has been found guilty of murder in the slaying of Eugène Terre’Blanche, the notorious South African white supremacist hacked to death at his remote farm in April 2010. Mahlangu and a teen co-defendant were employed by Terre’Blanche and claimed they were sexually abused.

The court ruled the defendants had suffered physical abuse but were not sexually assaulted, reports Independent Online.

"Sodomy is such a personal intrusion, I can't believe [Mahlangu] would not have raised it immediately," Judge John Horn said. He called sodomy an attack on a person's dignity and said it was demeaning. "It is the equivalent to rape." [...]

Horn also rubbished Mahlangu's claim that he acted in self-defence. He said there was no evidence Terre'Blanche was killed due to his political views. The dispute was over wages.

Eighteen-year-old co-defendant Patrick Ndlovu was convicted of theft.

Defense attorneys previously said their clients claimed Terre'blance tried to sodomize them. The late white supremacist has been accused several times of forcing himself on younger men, most recently a teenage member of the AWB. Tere'blanche denied this.

Prosecutors revealed that  Terre'Blanche regularly withheld wages from farm employees. "Sometimes he would buy them beer and groceries and deduct it from their salaries," a prosecutor explained. Eyewitnesses reported seeing Terre'Blanche buying liquor with the two workers before taking them back to the farm where he was later bludgeoned to death.

Terre'Blanche lead the far right Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging and was a prominent figure during the years of the white minority apartheid regime. He was released from prison in 2004 after serving a sentence for the attempted murder of a black man.

Report: Slain South African White Supremacist Abused Suspects

An update on the murder of Eugène Terre’Blanche, the notorious South African white supremacist hacked to death at his remote farm on April 3. Two black farm workers are charged with killing the leader of the far right Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging. The suspects had not been paid and suffered constant verbal and physical abuse but probably were not sexually assaulted, a defense attorney tells Reuters. 

The lawyer dropped an earlier argument that Terre'blanche had tried to sodomise 28-year-old Chris Mahlangu, a gardener at his farm. Mahlangu and a 15-year-old, not identified for legal reasons, have been charged with the April 3 murder, which highlighted continuing racial tensions 16 years after the end of the apartheid system that Terre'blanche had fought to preserve.

Moroko argued that the workers had suffered regular abuse and that the end of white minority rule had brought no change for some black workers. He said Terre'blanche had accused the two suspects of stealing cattle and had withheld their money. "He never used to pay them. Sometimes he would buy them beer and groceries and then ask his wife to deduct it from their salaries," Moroko said. He explained that he had dropped sodomy allegations because what his client had said on the subject made no sense.

Defense attorneys previously said their clients claimed Terre'blance tried to sodomize them. The late white supremacist has been accused several times of forcing himself on younger men, most recently a teenage member of the AWB. Tere'blanche denied this.

Eyewitnesses report seeing the AWB leader buying liquor with the two workers before taking them back to the farm where he was later bludgeoned to death.

Terre'Blanche was a prominent figure during the years of the white minority apartheid regime. He was released from prison  in 2004 after serving a sentence for the attempted murder of a black man. Terre'Blanche's murder has heightened the already fragile race tensions in South Africa.

Report: Slain South African White Supremacist's "Gay Past" Revealed

More details emerge on a possible "gay sex"  link to the murder of  Eugène Terre’Blanche, the notorious South African white supremacist who was beaten and hacked to death at his remote farm on April 3. Two black farm workers are charged with the killing originally thought to have been motivated by a pay dispute. Over the weekend, South African and Zimbabwean media reported the suspects claimed the leader of the far right Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) tried to sodomize them.

Terre’Blanche has a "secret gay past" and this is not the first time he was accused of forcing himself on men, reports New Zimbabwe.

"Max du Preez who founded the Vrye Weekblad newspaper in the 1980s said claims of Terreblanche’s secret homosexual liaisons had not come as a surprise to him. 'It's not a complete secret that Eugene had some of these tendencies,' said Max du Preez, In the 1980s, his weekly newspaper published the story of an AWB bodyguard who claimed to have woken up after a night of heavy partying to find Terreblanche on top of him, trying to molest him. The bodyguard laid a complaint within the AWB and was promptly kicked out of the organisation. The bodyguard went to the Vrye Weekblad -- the only newspaper that would run the story. \'No other newspaper touched it because they reckoned it was defamatory. But we thought it was true,' Du Preez told The Star on Sunday. After the story was published, there was no reaction from Terreblanche or the AWB. 'Eugene didn't say a word,' said Du Preez."

Terre'Blanche was also accused of sexually abusing  a teenage boy, who was a member of the AWB. He denied this and claimed to be mentoring the teen.

The 28- and 15-year-old suspects are accused of crushing Terre’Blanche’s skull with an iron bar, chopping him with a machete and pulling down his pants. Defense attorneys say Terre'Blanche tried to sodomize one or both men. Eyewitnesses also report seeing the AWB leader—reportedly estranged from his wife—buying liquor with the two workers before taking them back to the farm where he was later bludgeoned to death.

Terre'Blanche, who was jailed for three years for assaulting a black petrol station worker and the attempted murder of a black security guard in 1996, was a prominent figure during the years of the white minority apartheid regime. Almost 16 years after the end of apartheid, the murder has heightened race tensions in South Africa.

"Gay Sex Orgy" Alleged in Murder of South African White Supremacist

A "booze-fueled gay sex orgy" is being investigated in the murder of  Eugène Terre’Blanche, the South African white supremacist who was beaten and stabbed to death at his remote farm on April 3. Two farm workers are charged with the killing originally thought to have been motivated by a pay dispute.

South African and Zimbabwean media report the two black farm workers claim the 69-year-old leader of the far-right Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB) tried to sodomize them.

"'My instructions from my client are that there was some sodomy going on and it sparked the murder of Mr Terre'Blanche,' one of the workers' lawyers, Puna Moroko [said]. He added that Mr Terre'Blanche had tried to have sex "with one or both" of the workers. Police have denied earlier allegations that a condom was found on the scene. “100% no, no no,” Captain Adéle Myburgh told reporters.

The two suspects, Chris Mahlangu, 27, and a 15-year-old, face a number of charges, including crimen injuria– a crime under South African common law, defined to be the act of 'unlawfully, intentionally and seriously impairing the dignity of another' – for pulling down Mr Terre’Blanche’s pants and exposing his private parts after they had crushed his skull with an iron bar and chopped him with a machete. The Afrikaans-language weekly newspaper Rapport reported claims that Mr Terre’Blanche had mistreated white and black workers on his farm and that a teenage boy, who was a member of the AWB, regularly visited Mr Terre’Blanche, who sexually abused him."

Terre’Blanche was seen buying liquor with the suspects, reports New Zimbabwe, which describes the scene as a "booze-fueled gay sex orgy" gone wrong.

"A local liquor store owner has told detectives Terreblanche frequented his store in the company of the two men now accused of killing him. Their last visit was just HOURS before his murder – and Terreblanche, who drank whiskey, had bought a six-pack of the cider, Savanna. A police source said: 'These workers were fairly new on Terreblanche’s property, and we have heard claims that he may have been killed in a turf war between his former partners and the two workers now arrested. That doesn’t appear likely, but what we have not discounted is that this was a sex orgy gone wrong.' "

Terre'Blanche, who was jailed for three years for assaulting a black petrol station worker and the attempted murder of a black security guard in 1996, was a prominent figure during the years of the white minority apartheid regime.  Needless to say, the murder has heightened race tensions in South Africa almost16 years after the end of apartheid. It's also created fears around the upcoming World Cup games.
