Retaliation could follow Terre’Blanche killing
CAPE TOWN — The killing of South Africa’s far-right leader Eugene Terre’ Blanche could tempt isolated retaliation from white extremists, amid fears of flaring racial tensions, analysts say. The attack came as South Africa’s readied to showcase 16 years of democracy at the football World Cup in June. President Jacob Zuma was quick to call for calm early Sunday, just hours after Terre’Blanche’s bloodied body was found on his farm. His extremist Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), which carried out a wave of deadly bombings ahead of South Africa’s first all-race polls in 1994, also urged calm.
