The leader of a neo-Nazi white-extremist group went on trial yesterday on an attempted murder charge involving an assault on a black man on 25 March.

Eugene TerreBlanche, head of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement, known by its Afrikaans-language initials AWB, pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder count and to a separate charge of assault with intent to commit grievous bodily harm to the man in Ventersdorp, a farming town west of Johannesburg where the AWB has its headquarters.
