Nick Broomfield: Self

Quotes 

  • Nick Broomfield : At what point did you decide that it was a war?

    Eugene Terre'Blanche : When I choose the time. When I choose the time I will decide it will be war. Are you one of my generals?

    Nick Broomfield : No, I'm just asking you when you decided it was a war.

    Eugene Terre'Blanche : Yes, when I decide there will be a war I will choose the time. Are you one of the officers or one of the generals? So I will not tell you. But what I can tell you is we will never accept an ANC government over my people. Then we will start a war, that day or that night. But that will be my choice. And as you are not an officer or a general, it's not necessary to answer the question.

    Nick Broomfield : I think maybe you misunderstood me, what I meant was...

    Eugene Terre'Blanche : No, I am not misunderstood you.

    Nick Broomfield : What I meant was, at what point did you decide you might have to go to war?

    Eugene Terre'Blanche : When I choose the time. I am not misunderstanding you. I will decide when. And that is my choice.

    Nick Broomfield : What I was meaning was, at what point did you decide the AWB needed to be formed in order to fight a war if you needed to fight one.

    Eugene Terre'Blanche : I answered your question already. That is my choice, my good friend.
