Afrikaner radical released from jail - SA
THE GUARDIAN , VENTERSDORP, SOUTH AFRICA
Friday, Jun 11, 2004,Page 6

The black marble monument still stands in the town center, but Ventersdorp no longer fears the one-time Afrikaner messiah who promised blood and thunder. Eugene Terre'Blanche walks out of jail today, having served his time for beating up black people, but he will find the home he returns to, like the rest of South Africa, changed.

"That guy, yeah, he made the town famous. He's got that apartheid thing in his head but I'm not afraid of him," says Judy, 28, one of the well-dressed black women passing the monument during her lunch break.

A decade ago the name inspired dread: Terre'Blanche headed the Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), and if anyone was going to turn the end of apartheid into a race war it was he. The Afrikaner volk (nation) would prevail over multiracial democracy, he vowed, and his khaki-clad Iron Guard paramilitaries planted bombs and took potshots at passing black people.
