SOUTH Africa suffers from a diseased obsession with nationalism.

- LORENZO A DAVIDS

The 'Broederbonding' of the current ANC

Our current governing party appears to be drifting into spaces that are similar to the destructive nationalism models of the past. Our constitution instructs our politicians to uphold its democratic values, and to defend it from contrary onslaughts.

In April 1918, three young Afrikaner men, dispirited by what they saw as the marginalisation of their culture and the “verengelsing (anglicisation) of their land” conceptualised an organisation that would defend Afrikaner identity and leadership and pledged to “return him to his rightful place in South Africa.” By June 1918, the Afrikaner Broederbond was formed.
