A page of a newspaper portraiting ANC youth leader Julius Malema, hangs to the fence next to flowers to pay tribute to African far-right leader Euguene Terre'Blanche in front of the entrance of the farm in Ventersdorp on April 5, 2010, where Eugene Terre'Blanche will be buried on April 9. The 69-year-old leader of the extremist Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB, Afrikaner Resistance Movement) was brutally killed by black workers on his farm on April 3, sparking fears of renewed race tensions. The AWB believes the killing is linked to a controversial song urging people to 'kill the boer', which was popularised by the now ruling African National Congress (ANC) in its fight against apartheid. Although 16 years have passed since the end of the whites-only regime, the anthem has again become contentious after its repeated used by ANC youth leader Julius Malema.
