South Africa warns against Terreblanche revenge

[ccharles000]

South African leaders have warned against any attempt by white supremacists to avenge the murder of their leader Eugene Terreblanche.

Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa said such talk would not help the current situation in the country, and President Jacob Zuma called for national unity.

On Sunday the remnants of Mr Terreblanche's AWB party vowed revenge.

It blames Julius Malema, head of the ruling ANC's Youth League, for inflammatory actions.

Mr Malema, who last month led college students in a song about killing white farmers, is due to return from Zimbabwe later in the day, and correspondents say his response to calls for calm is keenly awaited.
