In 2000 Terre'Blanche was jailed for two attacks on an employee of his, who worked on his farm, and a gas station attendant in 1996. According to the gas station attendant, John Ndizma (who was interviewed for the documentary His Big White Self), Terre'Blanche made his dog attack him because John had told the police that a White youth had broken into the gas station pharmacy.

Terre'Blanche, allegedly drunk at the time, severely assaulted Paul Motshabe, an employee who worked on his farm, leaving his permanently paralysed. In the 2006 documentary His Big White Self, Motshabe claimed that Terre'Blanche hit him with a revolver and then slammed his head in the door of a truck, while in court he claimed Terre'Blanche hit him with a metal pipe.

Terre'Blanche was, in March 2000, jailed for 7 years (1 year for the assault on John Ndizma and 6 years for the attempted murder of Paul Motshabe). Whilst incarcerated he was a "model prisoner" and was, accordingly, paroled in June 2004.
There was big discrepancies in Motshabe's version of events. In the 2006 documentary ''His Big White Self'', Motshabe's sister claimed that Terre'Blanche hit her brother with a revolver and then slammed his head in the door of a truck, while in court he claimed Terre'Blanche hit him with a metal pipe.
Terre'Blanche was, in March 2000, jailed for 7 years (1 year for the assault on John Ndizma and 6 years for the attempted murder of Paul Motshabe). Whilst incarcerated he was apparently a "model prisoner"[http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_1327919,00.html] and was, accordingly, paroled in June 2004.
According to a senior aide to Terre'Blanche, Andre Visage, the legal system discriminated against Terre'Blanche while he was incarcerated. Another man, who was also a "model prisoner, convicted of similar crimes to Terre'Blanche was paroled after serving 50% of his sentence[http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_1327919,00.html]. As such Terre'Blanche's 2003 parole application should have been accepted.
Due to financial pressure his wife sold his farm to cover legal costs.
