President Jacob Zuma has learnt with shock about the murder of AWB leader Mr. Eugene Terre'blanche. The President condemns in the strongest possible terms the killing of Mr. Terre'blanche or any other South African for that matter.
"In any dispute, especially in a country like South Africa where we uphold the rule of law, no one is allowed to take the law into his/her own hands. Through our Constitution, South Africans have agreed that they shall submit to, obey and be regulated by law, and not arbitrary action by an individual or a group of individuals," said the President.
It against this background that the murder of Mr. Terre'blanche must be condemned, irrespective of how his killers think they may have been justified. They had no right to take his life, said the President.
"I appeal for calm following this terrible deed and ask South Africans not to allow agent provocateurs to take advantage of this situation by inciting or fueling racial hatred. I am confident that the law enforcement agencies will act swiftly and bring to book those who are responsible for this crime. I send my heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Terre'blanche."
