Eugene Terreblanche
As promised, problems have already begun for World Cup 2010 organizers as The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB), a South African White-Supremacist group formed in the 70s, is threatening racial violence at the tournament after their leader Eugene Terreblanche was murdered. Terreblanche formed the group in reaction to former South African Prime Minister Balthazar Johannes Vorster's liberal views. Strangely, Johannes was pro-Apartheid. I guess Terreblanche was seeking a more visceral control of the state from the country's leadership post.
