This is a short Biography of Eugene Ney TerreBlanche.

Eugène Ney Terre’Blanche, this was the name his parents gave him. 

His paternal ancestors came from France to the Cape. His grandfather, Etienne Terre’Blanche, was a rebel in the British Cape Colony, who fought on Boers side. His father was a Lieutenant Colonel in the previous South African Defence Force and also the Commander of the district he resided in.

Born on a farm in the Transvaal town of Ventersdorp on January 31, 1941, Terre’Blanche attended Laerskool Ventersdorp and the Hoër Volkskool in Potchefstroom, he matriculated in 1962. While in school, he gave early expression to his political leanings by founding the cultural organisation Jong Afrikanerharte (Young Afrikaner Hearts).

Eugene Terre’Blanche was selected out of twenty thousand able-bodied young Police Officers to guard the State President and Prime Minister of that time in South Africa. His Prime Minister’s political views became a disappointment to Eugene Terre’Blanche. In 1970, with six other kindred souls, he founded the Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB).

From this committee of seven, the AWB emblem, “Three Sevens”, was created in contrast with the number 666 of the satanic forces.

His movement increased from 7 founder members to a number of 70 000 out of a White population of 3,5 million.

During public gatherings he drew larger audiences than any other so-called White leaders locally. However, the White Government turned a cold shoulder towards his advice and warnings and did finally capitulate to the ANC, a Black majority political party, which became a front of the South African Communist Party.

This new Black Government, similar to the previous, constructed deceptive scandals and false court cases against Eugene Terre’Blanche with the aid of their agents and the main stream media. The AWB and its general staff, however, could see through the hidden agendas and remained true to him as their only White leader. Up to this day he still carries the torch of freedom for his nation and is recognised as one of the best orators in the world.
