The Rise Of The South African Reich

Plot

This, as its title implies, is an analysis of the drift towards Fascism of the white government of the South African Republic. It documents the close affinities of thought and action between such men as, Malan, Strijdom, Verwoerd, and Vorster and the German Nazi leaders, and traces the contact mantained by the Nationalist Party with Nazis during the last thirty-five years. Indeed it is a revelation to rerad how faithfully, in the wartime Draft Constitution, Malan aped Hitler, and how spurred perhaps by that sinister secret organization the Broederbond - the Nationalist Party has, one by one, enacted its tyrannous measures, Racial Laws, censorship, control of trade unions, an Iron and Blood, rearmament programme, manipulation of state capital, elimination of opposition, and mass indoctrination through such agencies as Christian National Education - these are now established features of South Africa. Furthermore, for this revised edition, Brian Bunting has added a chapter which shows how the white population has based its very high living standard on the poverty and exploitation of black labour.

Many of the documents quoted in this book will undoubtedly shock and horrify readers who see them for the first time.
