Programming note. Eugene Terre'Blanche's last TV interview - described as ''very emotional'' - tonight on SABC3's Special Assignment.


The last TV interview of the recently murdered AWB leader Eugene Terre'Blanche - described by the producers to me as ''very emotional'' will be broadcast on SABC3 tonight at 20:31 on the TV channel's weekly investigative magazine show Special Assignment. I can show you this screengrab above out of tonight's interview exclusively first.

Eugene Terre'Blanche's last TV interview was recorded at his home in Ventersdorp a few weeks ago in February. The producers promise me that viewers will get goose flesh when he talks about the spate of farm murders, not knowing that he will become a victim of it himself.

Eugene Terre'Blanche talks in Afrikaans, with English subtitles in tonight's Special Assignment edition. Eugene Terre'Blanche answers several questions, talks about poor whites, farm attacks and what he sees as the ''waning South African economy under black rule''. ''Viewers will get emotional when they watch it,'' the award winning Special Assignment journalist Johann Abrahams told me yesterday when I spoke to him.
''You get goose flesh when he talks about farm murders. He gets very emotional when he talks about two women who were raped and killed. The whole interview is very emotional, but in places there's also some jokes and lighter moments. Viewers will get one last chance to see Eugene Terre'Blanche talking in the way that a lot of people remember that he spoke.''
