Lawyer cites self-defence after Terre'Blanche sexual assault
White supremacist plied workers with alcohol, say allegations
guardian.co.uk, Sunday 11 April 2010 21.42 BST

South African police are investigating allegations that the white supremacist Eugene Terre'Blanche was killed after attempting to sexually assault two male workers on his farm.

A lawyer for one of the two suspects was quoted todayas saying that the two accused men acted in self-defence after Terre'Blanche plied them with alcohol and made sexual advances.

Puna Moroko, attorney for 28-year-old Chris Mahlangu, told South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper: "My instructions from my client are that there was some sodomy going on and it sparked the murder of Mr Terre'Blanche. This is going to form part of our defence during trial."

Moroko added that Terre'Blanche had plied both workers with alcohol and tried to have sex "with one or both" of them.

"It is in the court record that Mr Terre'Blanche bought my client 18 Savannas (cider) and the other accused, who is still a minor, 13 Savannas before driving them to his farm. Mr Terre'Blanche bought himself a bottle of Smirnoff at the same liquor store."

5. THANK YOU!!! I have always been concerned that the use of "with" implies mutuality
There is no mutuality in rape, and in fact muluality is the OPPOSITE of what is wanted by a rapist. The word "with" I believe plants subliminally implants the idea of consent in the mind of the listener

4. To be fair...
The charges of sexual assault could be bogus.

It's possible it was just a dispute over wages.

7. Come on, the guy is a piece of shit,
And yes many right wing pieces of shit are closet homosexuals acting out their frustrations, but there is zero reason to give any credibility to this report.

8. Wanting to rape men doesn't make you gay.
Rape is an act of violence, not an act of love, lust, or even attraction.

12. The article quotes the men as saying Terreblanche "made sexual advances toward them"...
and "wanted to have sex with one or both of them." How is attempted rape coming into this?
