Com­ment: In FTR #225, among other pro­grams, we exam­ined the Nazi her­itage of the Broeder­bond, the pri­mary power cen­ter of the Apartheid gov­ern­ment of South Africa. At the funeral of the late Eugene Ter­re­blanche, leader of the AWB, which years for the Apartheid era, that her­itage was on display.

“Nazi Salutes and Swastikas as Hun­dreds Gather for Funeral of Mur­dered White Suprema­cist Eugene Ter­re­blanche” by Jane Flana­gan; Daily Mail [UK]; 4/10/2010.

Their arms raised in a Nazi salute, thou­sands of angry white fol­low­ers greet the cof­fin of Eugene Ter­re­blanche as it leaves church.

  1. Whoa! You really do have to go and check out the accom­pa­ny­ing photo for this arti­cle.
