  • Race, History and the Internet: the Use of the Internet in White Supremacist Propaganda in the Late 1990’S, with Particular Reference to South Africa
    Race, History and the Internet: The use of the Internet in White Supremacist Propaganda in the late 1990’s, with particular reference to South Africa Inez Mary Stephney A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Wits School of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in fulfilment of the requirements for the Masters Degree. Abstract This dissertation aims to investigate the use of History by white supremacist groups in South Africa particularly, to rework their identity on the Internet. The disserta- tion argues that white supremacist groups use older traditions of history, particu- larly, in the South African case, the ‘sacred saga’, as explained by Dunbar Moodie to create a sense of historical continuity with the past and to forge an unbroken link to the present. The South African white supremacists have been influenced by the His- tory written by Van Jaarsveld for example, as will be shown in the chapters analysing the three chosen South African white supremacist groups. The white supremacists in the international arena also use history, mixed with 1930s Nazi propaganda to promote their ideas. i Acknowledgements There are a few people who must be acknowledged for their assistance during the research and preparation of this dissertation. First and foremost, my supervisor Dr Cynthia Kros for her invaluable advice and assistance- thank you. I also wish to thank Nina Lewin and Nicole Ulrich for all the encouragement, reading of drafts and all round unconditional love and friendship that has helped me keep it together, when this project seemed to flounder. Katie Mooney for saying I should just realised I am a historian and keep on going.

  • Denial of Language Diversity: the Ultra-Right in South Africa
    Denial of language diversity: the ultra-right in South Africa J.C. Moll, Free State University, Bloemfontein, South Africa 1. Point of departure This a liberal, humanistic orientated discussion, the point of view being that the potential value and goodness of human beings are of prime importance and that no cultural propensities, championing of race or language, religious convictions, moral persuasions or whatever, are to be considered more important than the well-being or furtherance of the human condition. Africa is a continent where dictators are thriving and where democracy seems to be on the wane and South Africa is very high on the list of the most violent societies with serious problems in social services, health management etc. For the true humanist none of these negative factors furnishes the right to be a racist. South Africa as a constitutional democracy has through its constitution, brought the greatest freedom to all its peoples in all spheres of life in a country plagued for decades by discrimination and oppression. As with all social or political concepts, the concept of ‘radical right’, ‘right wing extremism’, ‘far right’ or ‘ultra-right’ (See Billig 1989:4) undergoes constant change as a result of the dynamics of cultural and social life. That is the reason why some academics prefer the term ‘new ultra-right’ to accentuate the changing character of the term. 2. The terms Afrikaner and Afrikaans Two terms, – Afrikaner and Afrikaans – need some explication. An African is a person from Africa, especially a black person, although many whites consider and call themselves Africans.

  • Right-Wing Directory
    Right-Wing Directory Independent Board of Inquiry - March 1996 Profiles of Right-wing organisations -^* Introduction For most South Africans, the right-wing threat means the AWB and other vigilante groups associated with it in style and method. However, few know of the shadowy groups operating even further to the right. Thus the danger in having numerous small splinter groups of the right-wing is that they remain anonymous while they design acts of terror. The disadvantage of the right-wing being so fragmented is that each unit of the right-wing will have its own commanders. Almost all of the right-wing organisations share members between them, thus increasing the difficulty of ascertaining the exact number of members per organisation. However many of these members belong to, or at least have links with, several right-wing organisations and a large number belong to the AWB. Afrikaner Fasciste (AF) Afrikaner Fascists The Afrikaner Fascists is led by Armando Pellencin. Pellencin is the son of a former Italian prisoner of war in South Africa. Susan Pellencin, Armando's wife, was an active member of the AWB's welfare project. The AF is a low profile organisation probably consisting of Pellencin and a handful of members. On the 15th of November 1993 an unidentified AF member laid a wreath on Strijdom Square in Pretoria in honour of convicted mass-murderer Barend Strydom. Afrikanerfront (AF) Afrikaner Front The Afrikaner Front (AF) was established in 1989. The AF originally consisted mostly of former high-ranking members of the AWB who had fallen out with Terre'Blanche.

  • 17-14 Rault-Afrikanerflags
    Proc. XVII International Congress of Vexillology Copyright ©1999, Southern African Vexillological Assn. Peter Martinez (ed.) Afrikaner political flags Philippe Louis Rault Dedicated to Mrs Betsie Verwoerd in memory of the late Rudolph Boshoff. ABSTRACT: The goal of this study is to review the flags of Afrikaner political parties and movements of the past as well as the present with special emphasis on those organisations which now con­ stitute the new Afrikaner separatist political movement. The new Afrikaner National Flag, intended to fly in future over the Republic of Afrikanerland, is presented. The illustrations for this paper appear on Plates 24-26. 1 Introduction It was the policy of all South African Prime Ministers, from Louis Botha to P.W. Botha, to strive for the establishment of one white South African nation, with two languages and two cultures. But this was never realized, mainly because the Afrikaner has always refused to relinquish his own identity and nationality. As Robert van Tonder wrote thirty years ago: “Also here an Afrikaner remains an Afrikaner and an Englishman an Englishman, and there is no reason to pretend that this will disappear by imposing on us the imprint ‘South African.’ .. .You do not get traditions out of the air.”^ In 1994 a chapter in the history of South Africa was closed. Afrikaners no longer govern this country and have become a non-independent people, like the Quebecois, the Basques, the Bretons, the Zulus and many, many others. 100 Philippe Rault Afrikaner political flags 101 It might be the choice of some Afrikaners to sacrifice their identity and This AB flag is not widely known.

Berkeley: University of California Press, c1993 1993. http://ark.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/ft958009mm/ For Kanya and Maya in lieu of letters Acknowledgments Our reasoning has drawn liberally on the insights of many colleagues. First and foremost, we benefited from numerous conversations with two longtime South African friends, Van Zyl Slabbert and Hermann Giliomee. Slabbert’s political savvy and Giliomee’s sensitivity toward Afrikaner nationalism, as well as our disagreements over the nature of ethnicity, stimulated much of our writing. We had frequent political discussions with Jenny and Alex Boraine, André du Toit, Hamish Dickie-Clark, Pieter and Ingrid Le Roux, Wilmot James, Helen Zille and Johann Maree, Michael Savage, Oscar Dhlomo, Franklin Sonn, Allister Sparks, Solly Benatar, Vincent Mapai, Pierre van den Berghe, Mamphela Ramphele, Theo Hanf, Motti Tamarkin and Tony Williamson. Jeffrey Butler and David Welsh read the manuscript for the publisher and made valuable suggestions, as did our students in Vancouver and Cape Town. All the research associates who collected data in Canada and South Africa during the past four years, as well as the dozens of busy respondents who allowed themselves to be interviewed, deserve thanks.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (the Commission) found the state – and in particular its security agencies and affiliated policy and strategy formulation committees and councils – to be the primary perpetrators of gross violations of human rights committed during the thirty-four years it was mandated to investigate. 1 2 . Some 50 per cent of all amnesty applications received from members of the security forces related to incidents that occurred between 1985 and 1989. No applications were received in respect of incidents that occurred in the first decade of the Commission’s mandate and few applications were received for the pre-1985 and post-1990 periods. Despite this, evidence received by the Commission shows that the security forces were responsible for the commission of gross human rights violations during both of these periods. 3.
