Apartheid may be dead, but South African white supremacist groups live on. Here, members of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement protest a jail sentence given to their leader, Eugene Terre Blanche for assaulting a black South African gas station attendant. Afrikaners, white South Africans of mostly Dutch origin, led the crusade for the formal introduction of apartheid in the late 1940s and waged two wars in the 19th century to stake out independent states. Today, organizations like the 30-year-old Afrikaner Resistance Movement carry on the fight with calls for a homeland for the Boer "volk" (people) and claims that the ruling African National Congress wants to destroy the economic advantages allegedly brought to South Africa by Europeans.
