STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners sang South Africa''s apartheid-era anthem at Friday''s funeral of a white supremacist killed in what has been described as a wage dispute with two young black farm workers.
Men in camouflage with pistols at their waists and little girls in their Sunday best gathered in northwestern South Africa to mourn Eugene Terreblanche, whose body was brought into the church in a closed coffin covered in red and white flowers.
Terreblanche''s death has not sparked wider violence.
South African leaders have acknowledged that racial tensions remain 16 years after apartheid ended, but have played down any threat to the World Cup that starts in June, the first time football''s premier tournament will come to Africa.
White militants who considered Terreblanche their leader say his death proves whites aren''t safe under majority rule.
Black leaders say controlling crime - whether its victims are white or black - is a priority in a country with one of the highest rates of violent crime in the world.
Terreblanche''s coffin was draped with a flag belonging to the white supremacist movement he led.
The 500 or so people in the church rose and sang Die Stem, an Afrikaans-language song that was the national anthem during the apartheid era.
One verse of the song, which translates to "The Call," is a verse in the modern, multi-lingual South African national anthem, Nkosi Sikeleli Africa.
Hundreds of mourners were on the grass outside, some in lawn chairs, listening on speakers set up around the church.
Security for the funeral was tight, with a police helicopter circling over the squat, blond-brick church where a few hundred mourners gathered hours before the funeral was to begin.
On Friday, some mourners linked Terreblanche''s death to the fiery rhetoric of the youth leader of the governing African National Congress.
Malema says the song has nothing to do with Terreblanche''s death.
Terreblanche was released in 2004.
