Terreblanche, a former South African policeman who began to rise to prominence during the early 1980s as the leader of the Far-Right Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), campaigned in later years for an independent white homeland. His khaki-shirted followers were a frequent and menacing force against the background of the years of South Africa's transition from white-dominated government to majority rule. Terreblanche later served three years of a five-year term for attempted murder and was released from prison in 2004.
His murder comes against the backdrop of growing anxiety about crime in South Africa and what opposition politicians claim are racially inflammatory sentiments from some figures in the ruling ANC party.

Karma indeed. What's interesting is that they didn't kill him because he was a white supremacist; they killed him because he needed to PAY them! Whoa! Another example of a civil rights aim occurring due to economic incentivization;)
Apparently he was an asshole and God was watching.
