this is the thread that just won't die. So far a summary. ET is killed and his body is "undressed" and mutilated. He was alone at home at the time. Two black people claim to have done it, and handed themselves to the police. One 27 and the other 15. They claim it was over a pay dispute. It seems that they were new labourers on the farm. Now for the reaction. The right wing (And many Afrikaans speakers) claim that the two accused were instigated by Malema singing "Kill a boer" into committing this offence, and somehow there is a golden thread between Malema's politicing and these two's actions. (the most vocal of these also believe that the earth is hollow) The ultra left wing claim that ET had it coming for a while, and ET not paying his labourers (new ones that were not used to him) was the final straw. That somehow these two accused are hero's for killing the personification of the racist right. (Some of these also believe that the earth is flat). The consipiracy theorists have also presented the speculation that this was an assisted suicide. ET was not well, and with his movement all but finished, he decided that his murder would both fulfill the prophecy of Seiner van Rensburg AND place his movements agenda back into the political landscape. The rest of the script was then written by the Kebble case speculation. (the most vocal of these believe that Elvis is alive and JFK was shot by a teamm from Vlakplaas) Lastly, this has also allowed all the moaners and whiners to say what is wrong with South Africa again. Pity it is easier to point out what is wrong, than to fix it.
