“In the ‘New South Africa,’ there is apparently a renewed appreciation for the old slogan ‘Kill the Boer, kill the farmer,’ chanted at political rallies and funerals during “The Struggle” (against apartheid).
Peter Mokaba, a youth leader in the ruling African National Congress party, is credited with originating the catch phrase. Mokaba went on to become a parliamentarian and a deputy minister in the Mandela cabinet.
By the time he expired in 2002 at the age of forty three (rumor has it of AIDS), Mokaba had revived the riff, using it liberally, in defiance of laws against incitement to commit murder. Given the mesmerizing, often murderous, power of the chant—any chant—in African life, many blame Mokaba for the current homicidal onslaught against the country’s white farmers.
Mokaba’s legacy lives on. Late in February of 2010, a senior member of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC)—a competing socialist, racialist political party whose motto is “Africa for the Africans”—set-up a page on the social networking site Facebook.

Update I (April 3): Whatever Eugene Terre’Blanche was he did not do unto anyone what was done to him—and thousands of other Boer farmers like him: beaten with pipes and hacked with machetes at his farm, I presume, this week. The Observer is too slack or dismissive to bother with details or background to Mr. Terre’Blanche’s grisly demise.
The same source concentrates on the Nazi-like emblem of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement, or AWB, which Terre’Blanche led, claiming the AWB drew on the ideology of Nazism. I have not studied their cause, but the conclusion to which I’ve arrived in the course of writing my upcoming my book comports with the work of the Afrikaner’s historian of record, Hermann Giliomee. Apartheid was more a strategy for survival than a racial theory. Distractions aside, the AWB for all its blather, believed that with black rule would come all-out savagery, the kind that killed Terre’Blanche and 300,000 other victims since freedom (1994).
Have they been vindicated? You be the judge.
Update II: The indomitable Adriana Stuijt—other than folks at WND and me, she is the only other journalist in the “free world” who has been documenting the carnage—keeps an Alphabetical list of the names of the dead.
Ms. Stuijt quotes Terre’Blanche’s family: “‘My dad sometimes went to sleep on the farm to look after the livestock. We are tremendously shocked. The family suspects that he was murdered by two or more people.'”
