Nazism found an audience in the country, with pro-Nazi elements organised by Louis Weichardt in 1932 under the name South African Gentile National Socialist Movement, a group that soon became known as the Greyshirts.
In the post-war era far right groups that are sometimes characterised as being neo-fascist in nature include the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging,[REF] the Vereniging van Oranjewerkers,[REF] the Herstigte Nasionale Party[REF] and the Boeremag, as well as elements within the coalition Afrikaner Volksfront [REF].
