The Return of the AWB

The right-wing Afrikaner Resistance Movement / Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB), has announced its re-activation to combat what it describes as a rapidly-deteriorating situation in South Africa.

"We were not very active because of political problems we [the AWB] had in the country", Andre Visagie, general of the AWB, told talk radio show The Right Perspective. "But at this point in time the pressure from the people itself has been so much that we cannot go on any longer without reactivating the AWB and making it even larger than it was in the past".

Gen. Visagie says the AWB seeks to combat not only the "rampant political corruption and crime" going on in South Africa, but what he "calls the total onslaught on the infrastructure," such as the current power outages plaguing the country, and a declining value of the South African Rand in the currencies market.

The breaking point for the AWB, Gen. Visagie told The Right Perspective, was when white reporters were recently chucked out of a press conference for the ANC. "They were humiliated just for the color of our skin. They are trying to humiliate us, to kill us like they done to us on the farms already. We are fighting for human rights," Gen. Visagie said.
