Murdered Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging movement (AWB) leader Eugene Terreblanche was laid to rest in a grave on his family farm, 12 kilometres (7.2 miles) outside Ventersdorp, South Africa. Terreblanche''s widow and daughter were were visibly moved by the burial, as were AWB members who stood in silent contemplation. A few gave the bent-arm AWB salute. Earlier on Friday, Terreblanche, who was killed in what has been described as a wage dispute with two young black farmworkers, was remembered with nationalist anthems and flags and impassioned rhetoric at a church service. Terreblanche''s death has not sparked wider violence. South African leaders acknowledged that racial tensions remain 16 years after apartheid ended, but have played down any threat to the World Cup that starts in June, the first time football''s premier tournament will come to Africa. White militants who considered Terreblanche their leader say his death proves whites aren''t safe under majority rule. Black leaders say controlling crime - whether its victims are white or black - is a priority in a country with one of the highest rates of violent crime in the world. The aftermath of Terreblanche''s death has shown how far South Africa has come. White militants first vowed revenge, but later joined President Jacob Zuma in calling for calm. Terreblanche''s AWB movement, seeks to create an all-white republic within mostly black South Africa. The group''s insignia resembles a Nazi swastika, but with three prongs instead of four. The movement always has been on the fringes, estimated to have no more than 70-thousand members at its height in the early 1990s out of a population of nearly 50 (m) million. Terreblanche was sentenced to six years in jail in 2001 for the attempted murder of former security guard Paul Motshabi in March 1996 and was released in 2004. Motshabi suffered brain damage, and was left paralysed and unable to speak for months after the attack.
