Multimedia: Afrikaner Blood, inside a racist bootcamp

Multimedia production by journalist/videographer Elles van Gelder & photojournalist Ilvy Njiokiktjien about the right-wing organization Kommandokorps in South Africa.
White South African teens wrestle with an uncertain identity. An extreme right-wing group is teaching young Afrikaners to eschew Nelson Mandela's vision of a multicultural rainbow nation. The fringe group Kommandokorps, led by old-apartheid leader Franz Jooste, organizes camps in school holidays where Afrikaner teenagers learn to defend themselves against crime in South Africa. But that's not all. They learn they are their own people - not South Africans but Afrikaners - that shouldn't integrate in the new democratic South Africa.

You obviously haven't educated yourself much on this issue, the South African majority black "Bantu" people were not ever native to the region and emigrated en masse under white rule from the north. The local indigenous tribes were bushmen who are now largely extinct and marginalised (largely through the efforts of their black "brethren"). The ANC's claim of indigeneity is pure political rubbish for the sake of their own power.

Let me tell you one thing. Whites have been living in South Africa since 1652. This is a stupid argument especially coming from an American. You immigrated to America as well. Why dont you go home to Britian smart guy?

What the fuck are you talking about? Have you forgotten about the Egyptians or the other nations? You better go and educate yourself, before spewing more shit.

I'm sure if I really felt the need to I could find a racist bunch of Dutch people in the Netherlands and then use that material to portray the entire Dutch citizenry as racist? Congratulations making a nonsense documentary valuable only in as far as it goes demonstrate how to turn the truth about an entire people into the radical beliefs of a few. It would certainly earn you a high five from Goebbels, the original maker of trash documentaries.

The other 99% are also the victims of a stage 6 genocide at the moment where the president of the country thinks it's okay to kill them, so I think this "1%" has the right idea in terms of survival.

Good idea, I guess all foreigners to Europe should go back to their countries as well right?

Dumb racist, the whites are the ones who made South Africa the most powerful country in Africa. Yes blacks were mistreated back then but many of them are still suffering today. At least the whites knew how to run the damn country.

Let me tell you one damn thing. Whites are NOT indigenous to Africa. The African continent belongs SOLELY to the Black race. You got that? I don't care what part of Africa other Blacks came from. THE ENTIRE CONTINENT IS THEIRS. White South Africans belong in Europe. They sailed their asses to the African continent - UNINVITED - and now they need to sail their racist asses right back to Europe. How Africans interact with each other is THEIR business and not the business of whites. GO HOME!

So what is the purpose of this video? To portray the Afrikaner as racists...just like some people today still portray every single German as a Nazi??

These people make up about less than 1% of the Afrikaner nation. The other 99% of Afrikaners nation are just normal people who like to live their lifes in peace like any other human being. Therefore this video is nothing more than sensationalism produced by some liberal Dutch producers. I can also go to Holland and make a video about racists...
