Mr Terreblanche, 69, was attacked on Saturday evening at home on his farm near the town of Ventersdorp, North West province.
His body was found with facial and head injuries on a bed, after he was apparently attacked with a machete and a wooden club.
Police have arrested two farm workers who they suspect beat Mr Terreblanche to death in a dispute over wages.
Mr Terreblanche was a convicted terrorist, a murderer and an unrepentant white supremacist. He had founded the white supremacist movement, AWB in 1973 to urge for increased repression of African people.
He was opposed to the end of racial apartheid in the early 1990s, and the AWB was infamous for its swastika-like symbols and neo-Nazi anthems.
He became a full blown white-supremacist-terrorist in 1990s and was finally convicted for the attempted murder of a farm worker in 2001.
Since his release in 2004 after a prison sentence for beating a black man nearly to death, he had been pretty obscure until 2009, when he attempted a comeback, announcing plans to rally far-right groups and to apply to the United Nations for a breakaway Afrikaner republic.
It appeared he did not learn very much from that imprisonment though, as his penchant for mistreating his African workers, beating up staff, and getting into near fatal disputes with his farm workers continued un-abated, until this incident.
Mr Zuma’s office denounced the murder. “The murder of Terreblanche must be condemned, irrespective of how his killers think they may have been justified. They had no right to take his life.”

AWB spokesman Andre Visagie said: “We will decide upon the action we are going to take to avenge Mr Terreblanche’s death,” adding that next steps would await a party meeting in May.
Earlier, he had blamed the killing on the recent singing of an apartheid-era song – “kill the Boers, the racists” – by a firebrand ANC leader.
ANC denied any linkages between the song and the death of Mr. Terreblanche.

Boer is Afrikaans for a farmer, but is sometimes used as a disparaging term for any white in South Africa.

The claims that Mr Eugene Terreblaunche is a murderer and terrorist is absolute fictional!!!!!!!!!!!!! In what court and by what judge was these fictions ever prooved??????????????????????
What happened to the truth…?? This is pittyfull and shows that u have no idea what you are talking about.. You are liars and it is a shame.I will report this article.I hope to meet you Don Jaide.
We will kick more ASSHOLES like you Sucker.
You CRACKERS.
Terrablanche was convicted of attempted murder in 2001. That was just a compromise judgement as the whole of South Africa knows that he had murdered many persons of African origins in the past and gotten away with it.
Terrablanche was also a terrorist. You should recall his antics in the days when ANC was just about to assume leadership. Bombings, death threats, intimidation, militia activity, that was Terrablanche. Pity he got paid back in his own coins…
Yes..Mr. Ben Informer, go report this article to your pink-white supremacy police. You will go like Terrablanche if you push it too hard in South Africa these days. Rude boys don’t care no more… for them Boers broderbond!
Amazing … education has opened up, the world has opened up, yet there are still pricks like you in SA. YOU are the new racist fuck that WILL start a civil war, and guess what, this time, IT WILL BE BLACK AGAINST BLACK TOO! Now fuckoff to Zim!
You are an illiterate pink arse hole living in stolen New Zealand. You are darn lucky you are not in South Africa but know what ? …even the Maoris will rise against you and defeat you and run you all the way back again from the land you stole in New Zealand to the Steepes of Russia which is where you first became half consicous…
Mark the words of the Rasta Prophet, ye little skunk, mark these words for they shall come true even like they came true in Azania ..South Africa
What took them so long.
He reaps what he sowed…Now GOD almighty will judge him…
Boohoo!
Now lets sit back and watch the indignation. How these racists can pull that is something to marvel at. Reap what you sow is the name of the game.Period.

SEE FARM MURDERS ON THE NET. SEE THE PICS AND THINK!!
Gillian Slovo: South Africa will survive the killing of a neo-facist – like in 1994:
“….The four years between Mandela’s release and the election were bloody in the extreme. In the apartheid government’s version of “I told you so”, black-on-black violence – much of which was later revealed to have been the work of government-sponsored “third force” provocateurs – had risen to terrifying proportions. The country, it was feared, was a tinderbox that would soon explode.
At the same time, and lurking in the background, was the far right, of which Terre’Blanche’s AWB was an influential player. Fuelling the ANC’s fears in that period was the possibility that this neofascist movement would join with undemocratic elements in the apartheid army and precipitate a civil war.
These fears came to a head in 1994. Lucas Mangope, puppet leader of Bophuthatswana, an apartheid satellite state, tried to stop “his” people from voting in the coming election. The response was widespread strikes with even his brutalised and brutalising police turning against him.
In the hope of holding on to power, Mangope asked the Afrikaner Volksfront, the organisation run by the rightwing General Constand Viljoen, to help him. Here was the moment the ANC most feared. The Volksfront and the South African Defence Force both going into Bophuthatswana, with the gun-toting, khaki-clad crazies of Terre’Blanche’s AWB, though uninvited, coming along for the ride. The mavericks of the AWB were armed and not afraid to shoot and kill in the name of white supremacy. This was not the smooth tongue of FW de Klerk’s reforming apartheid; it was its naked hatred.
For a few days South Africa held its breath. Then Viljoen was persuaded to climb down, and the AWB was asked to leave. They rode out in convoy, still firing, killing bystanders as they went. When Bophuthatswanan soldiers fired back, they managed to shoot one of the drivers. Their jeep halted, three AWB members came tumbling out. That was the moment that was to prove decisive. A Bophuthatswana police officer stepped up and, in cold blood and in front of cameras, killed all three.
The start of a race war? On the contrary. Men like Terre’Blanche had managed to persuade the country that his brownshirts were capable of seizing control. The sight of his men, pleading for their lives, unable to prevent their own deaths, gave this the lie. It was a turning point provoked not by blood or vengeance, but by an encounter with reality: a moment when it was made clear that the election would take place, no matter the deluded resistance of dinosaurs like Terre’Blanche…”
