A South African farmworker accused of killing white supremacist leader Eugene Terre'Blanche told a court Monday he had acted in self-defence and would not flee if freed on bail. 'I did what I did in self-defence and will plead not guilty to all the charges against me,' said an affidavit by Chris Mahlangu, 28, read in court by his lawyer at a bail hearing Monday. 'I have no previous convictions and no pending cases against me,' said the affidavit by Mahlangu, who was a worker on Terre'Blanche's farm. 'Had I wanted to escape or avoid the law taking its course, I would have escaped.' Mahlangu and a 15-year-old minor are accused of killing Terre'Blanche, the founder of the white separatist Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), on April 3 at his farm house outside the northwest town of Ventersdorp. The killing, which allegedly followed a wage dispute, has put a spotlight on racial tensions in South Africa in the weeks before the World Cup, which the country hosts from June 11 to July 11. The 15-year-old, who is not applying for bail, appeared in court briefly Monday morning and had his case postponed until June 10, when prosecutors will indict both of the accused and present the evidence against them, said Zola Majavu, the lawyer for the minor. Majavu said a trial would then be held in high court, provisionally scheduled for September 13 to 17. Majavu said his client also plans to plead not guilty.
