I got interested in the South African Afrikaner political party the AWB (Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging), after watching Louis Theroux, a British investigative journalist. He was doing a story on racism in South Africa, which no doubt led him to Eugène Terre'Blanche. This is a link to videos of his programme on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=louis+theroux+south+africa&search_type=&aq=f
I recently came across an article about the re-launch of the AWB by Terre’Blanche himself. However, the article was further spiced up as the writer compared both Terre’Blanche and Julius Malema, as they had been throwing insults at eachother. I laughed when the writer said that they “have fired volleys at each other in what is sure to be one of the most entertaining battles ever fought in the South African political arena.” I smile at the thought of two strong minded gusto leaders defending what they view as right. Never mind that Malema has been seriously slammed in the media for being untactful and stupid. If you go back and look at past stories about the actual re-launch of the AWB you can watch a video of Terre’Blanche’s speech. I always wonder what goes through his mind, the scary thought that his ideologies are so deeply entrenched him. I urge everyone to watch the Louis Theroux documentary and while you at it all his other stories, which are equally as interesting.
