JOHANNESBURG – A South African court has suspended until January the trial of two black farm workers charged with murdering white Supremacist leader Eugene Terre’blanche in a suspected wage dispute, the SAPA news agency reported yesterday.

No reason was given for the postponement of the trial.

Chris Mahlangu, a gardener at Terre’blanche’s farm, and a 16-year-old, not identified for legal reasons, were charged with the April 2010 murder that highlighted continuing racial tensions 17 years after the end of the apartheid system that Terre’blanche had fought to preserve – (Reuters)
