for bringing the "Jewish problem" to the fore and culminating in a number of leading Greyshirts also holding National Party membership. Activities were monitored during the Second World War, although the Greyshirts continued to exist and renamed themselves the White Workers Party in 1949. However, by this time most of the membership had been lost to the Ossewa-Brandwag or Oswald Pirow's proto-fascist New Order, both of which were marginalised and lost their supporters to the Herenigde Nasionale Party, which went on to win the general election and rule the country for 46 years. After this point the Greyshirts/WWP became a wholly marginal phenomenon.
