South African apartheid leader Eugene Terreblanche has been killed during a dispute on his farm.

The 69-year-old Terreblanche, who co-founded the Afrikaner Resistance Movement in 1973, was beaten to death by two workers over a payment dispute near his home outside the town of Ventersdorp, North West province, the BBC reported.

The two workers aged 21 and 15 have been arrested and charged with murder.

South African President Jacob Zuma has expressed his deep regret over the incident but has also called upon the population to remain calm saying the murder was not racially motivated.

In the 1980s, Terreblanche became prominent as a campaigner in favor of apartheid, and a proponent of a separate white state in South Africa.
