A www.MyZA.co.za South African Flag selected video for you:
18 years after Apartheid, there are still small Afrikaans communities that are willing to fight to get back their land. Four times a year, an Afrikaans group called Die Kommandokorps (formed to “protect” the Afrikaaner people) runs a military training camp near Rustenberg, South Africa. The camp aims to train young, white Afrikaans males to defend themselves, and to keep the spirit of Afrikaans nationalism alive in a new generation. It is also billed as a place where boys will learn to defend their families’ farms against attacks (the murder rate of South African farmers is now more than 300 per 100 000, and most attacks are senseless and violent). The boys are given the same military training that conscripts were given before 1994, during Apartheid. The old orange, white and blue flag is raised high above the camps and the new South African flag is used as a doormat, as the boys enter the mess hall to sing “Die Stem”, the old South African national anthem.
Are they really training boys to defend their families against senseless violent crime or are they right-wing extremists recreating exclusive Afrikaans nationalism? Watch this film and decide for yourself.
This film follows the journey of four white Afrikaans boys. For nine, long and grueling days they will be trained to adopt the ways of the old South African regime. They will learn how to defend their families against the criminals that threaten their farms and their lives; “the blacks”. Too young to understand the severity of the racial divide of Apartheid, the boys come into the camp wanting to believe in the rainbow nation, but in nine days they are trained to believe in the ideology of exclusive Afrikaans nationalism.
