( CNN ) -- A South African man was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for the killing of white supremacist leader Eugene Terreblanche , a lawyer in the case said . Chris Mahlangu was convicted on four counts including murder , for which he got life , lawyer Zola Majavu said . Terreblanche , the leader of the neo-Nazi Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging ( Afrikaner Resistance Movement , or AWB ) , was killed in April 2010 following an apparent dispute over wages with workers on his farm . Terreblanche , 69 , was bludgeoned with clubs and stabbed with a machete during the attack at his farm near Ventersdorp in South Africa 's North West province , police said . The trial began in October . Police charged Mahlangu and a 16-year-old in the death . It was not immediately clear what sentence the minor got . The AWB is best known for trying to block South Africa 's effort to end apartheid . The group used terrorist tactics in a bid to stall the country 's first all-race vote in 1994 , killing more than 20 people in a wave of bombings on the eve of the elections . Terreblanche was convicted of a 1996 attempted murder of a black man who worked as a security guard on his farm . He served about two-thirds of a five-year sentence .
