Although most South African's have wholeheartedly embraced Nelson Mandela's vision of a multicultural rainbow nation, some right-wing Afrikaans extremist groups continue to promote racist discourses and insist that they are not a part of the new South Africa.
The following documentary, Afrikaner Blood, provides a shocking view into a boys camp run by the group Kommandokorps (led by old-apartheid leader Franz Jooste) at which Afrikaans teenagers are indoctrinated with Apartheid ideals and taught to defend themselves and their families against South African crime. The fact that these young boys have not been allowed to embrace the freedom of the country that they were born into is nothing less than a tragedy.
