Johannesburg, South Africa (CNN)  -- A South African white supremacist group has retracted its statement vowing to avenge the killing of its leader, Eugene Terreblanche, a spokesman for the group said Monday. "The statement was made by an emotional member of our organization," said Pieter Steyn, a spokesman for the neo-Nazi Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, also called the Afrikaner Resistance Movement or AWB. "The person has been reprimanded. We want a homeland where we can govern ourselves, and violence is not going to do our cause any good." Terreblanche was killed Saturday following an apparent dispute over wages with workers on his farm, according to South African police.
