YCLSA- DA opportunistically blaming revolutionary song for Terreblanches death

The Young Communist League of South Africa (uFasimba) has noted with contempt how DA has been prompt in spreading malicious lies about the circumstances surrounding the death of Eugene Terreblanche. Reports indicate that Terreblanche was murdered by workers who were evidently fed up of exploitation on the farmland.

Such premature distortion and sensationalisation by the DA will instigate what they supposedly fear. Its complete obsurdity to simplistically insinuate that two aggrieved workers merely heard the song "Dubula ibhunu" and resolved to murder Eugene Terreblanche. No one condones any form of crime and the SAPS has managed to deal with the case promptly. It's imperative that this case be left in the hands of authorities and not be utilised as a political platform for DA or any other political organisation to drive its narrow agenda.

We call for everyone to remain calm and use common parlance in the process of analysing the circumstances surrounding Eugene Terreblanche's death; especially those that would want to now go on a rampage to unnecessarily murder innocent people who had nothing to do with the murder.
