A court convicted white supremacist leader Eugene TerreBlanche of attempted murder in a March 1996 attack on black employee Paul Motshabi, 27, who suffered severe brain damage. TerreBlanche was also convicted of serious assault on another black, John Thembeni Ndzima, in November. Both men worked in a security firm that was run by TerreBlanche. Bail was set at $225, which was raised by TerreBlanche’s conservative supporters in the Potchefstroom court about 100 miles southwest of Johannesburg. Sentencing was set for June 17.
