A controversial new documentary called Fatherland by TIA Productions has revealed that a white supremacist movement is taking root in rural South Africa. The movement called Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB) is brainwashing youngsters to rise up against the pluralism of Nelson Mandela’s South Africa and demand a separate white state. The movement conducts military-style boot camps to the north-west of Johanessberg.
In these camps, thousands of youths are put through gruelling self-defense and assault training to prepare them against the threat of ‘the millions of blacks’. At night, they are indoctrinated with vile bigoted ideologies to sow the seed of racial hatreds in their young minds.
South Africa deployed the racial segregation system of apartheid from 1948 -1994. Under this system, the rights of the majority black inhabitants and other ethnic groups were curtailed, and a white minority ruled over the country. Apartheid ended in 1994, after years of struggle by the black majority, and was followed by the country’s first multi-racial elections.
The elections resulted in the victory of Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress, much to the chagrin of apartheid advocates and white supremacists.
Colonel Jooste, is one such surviving white supremacist of the apartheid era. He believes that South Africa is ‘bleeding’ with the black majority smothering the country and the only way for people like him to survive is a free white state. Teenagers at his camp, some as young as 15, are taught misleading ideas like the Bible prescribes the separation of races. Of the more than 2000 teenagers at the camp, several have attended such endurance training camps multiple times.
These youths claim to have no black friends, believe themselves to be mentally and physically different from blacks and spout racist propaganda. They pledge allegiance to the Afrikaner flag and refuse to stand under the South African flag. The camps which are very similar to camps of Hitler Youth evoke the same Nazi ideals of racial superiority and purity.
