Right Wing Organizations
Right-wing organizations in South Africa are mainly comprised of white Afrikaans-speaking South Africans who strive for Afrikaner unity and autonomy. Eugene Terre'Blanche led the most significant extremist right-wing organization, the Afrikaner Resistance Movement (Die Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, AWB), until his murder in 2010. His rhetoric resembled that of Adolf Hitler and the AWB's emblem resembles a Nazi swastika. Other significant right-wing organizations include the Boerevryheidsbeweging (the Boer Freedom Movement), the Boereweerstandsbeweging (the Boer Resistance Movement), the Boerestaatparty (Boer State Party), and the World Apartheid Movement (WAM), followed by numerous splinter groups such as the Church of the Creator, Die Orde Boerevolk (Order of the Boer People), the Stallard Foundation, and Die Wit Wolwe (the White Wolves).An interview with General Tienie Groenewald regarding the establishment of the Volksfront (People's Front).
