adminFarm worker Chris Mahlangu (29) told police how he and a 16-year-old boy had beaten to death the co-founder of the far-right Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), according to Lieutenant-Colonel Tsietsi Mano.
The pair took an iron rod from a storeroom at Terre’Blanche’s farm, climbed through a window to his home and attacked him in his bed, Mahlangu told the Ventersdorp High Court.
“Mahlangu then hit Mr Terre’Blanche on the forehead with an iron rod. Two other blows followed on the face. There was a lot of blood . . . caused by the injuries. He repeatedly hit Terre’Blanche on the chest,” Mano was quoted as saying.
“His colleague took the rod from him. He hit Terre’Blanche in the face . . . some few blows on the chest as well,” Mano said.
They then decided to castrate the farmer, he said.
“Mahlangu said he pulled Terre’Blanche’s pants down and exposed his genitals. His intention was to dismember Terre’Blanche. But he decided against it.”
The pair deny killing the rightwing leader at his farmhouse outside the small northwest town of Ventersdorp on 3 April 2010. — AFP.
