Quotes

  • [Self-determination] is one of the fundamental principles of democracy, the ability to rule yourself. They don't want to give us that. We are not free. We have everything a nation needs, except a land to call our own.

Encyclopedic overview

Eugène Ney Terre'Blanche ( Afrikaans: [ɪə̯ˈʒɛn ˈnɛj tərˈblɑ̃ːʃ], 31 January 1941 – 3 April 2010) was a South African Afrikaner nationalist and White supremacist who founded and led the neo-Nazi Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB; 'Afrikaner Resistance Movement'). Prior to founding the AWB, he served as a South African Police officer, was a farmer, and was a Herstigte Nasionale Party ('Reconstituted National Party') candidate for local office in the Transvaal. He was a major figure in the right-wing backlash against the collapse of apartheid. His beliefs and philosophy have continued to be influential amongst white supremacists in South Africa and across the world. He was assassinated on April 3, 2010 at aged 69.
