Eugene TerreBlanche was the leader of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement formed in the 1970s and which opposed black rule.
TerreBlanche was hacked and bludgeoned to death after a dispute with two youths who worked on his farm. The violence occurred over a payment issue and was not an ethnic clash.
This gruesome murder has caused many to worry about the current state of racial tensions in the country. With the World Cup just a month away, President Zuma is assuring everyone of their safety.
To me, It's obvious this was a personal matter between his employees and not an act of racial violence. Therefore, it wouldn't make me worry about my safety attending the World Cup. I realize that TerreBlanche had his views and did some things that I don't personally agree with , but he's entitled to his view. It is possible that his views did lead to the employees acting more violent than they otherwise might have, but that's hard to prove.
No entries in March? What about the issues we discussed in class that month, such as media conglomeration and cultural imperialism?
