0:00:23 > 0:00:27leader of the AWB, the white supremacist party in South Africa

0:00:27 > 0:00:30which is preparing itself for war against the blacks.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33It had been a fairly frustrating week.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35The leader just didn't seem to be interested in meeting us

0:00:35 > 0:00:38and its press liaison officers said I looked like a Turk

0:00:38 > 0:00:41and should be put in the coloured section of town.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44A major power base for the AWB is the support

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Terre Blanche's driver saw it happening from the stage

0:03:17 > 0:03:21and out of sympathy offered to arrange an interview for us with the leader.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24We drove from Newcastle in the south-east of South Africa

0:03:24 > 0:03:27to Ventersdorp, a small town in the Transvaal

0:03:27 > 0:03:29where the leader has his headquarters.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32There was a news report that day of 50 AWB members

0:03:32 > 0:03:35armed with shotguns, knives and pick handles

0:03:35 > 0:03:39attacking black mine workers returning to the surface.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42The AWB are objecting to blacks being employed on certain shifts.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Hello?

0:04:27 > 0:04:32Oh, I'm sorry. Mr Terre Blanche waited for you about a quarter

0:04:32 > 0:04:36and then he said you would have to make another appointment to see him.

0:04:36 > 0:04:42- Mr Blanche came back?- Yes. - When should we have a meeting?- Um...

0:04:42 > 0:04:48Um, you'll have to make another appointment, to see him. Um...

0:04:49 > 0:04:55Um, I think you can call Mr Meyer this afternoon.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Have you got his number? - I've got his number.

0:04:58 > 0:05:03- So I'll try and make another appointment with him? - Yes, yes, I think so. Yes.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm sorry.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07'JP Meyer, the leader's driver,

0:05:07 > 0:05:10'lives in this street in the house next to the leader's.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13'I learned he'd only come out of prison last week

0:05:13 > 0:05:15'because of his involvement with Piet Rudolph,

0:05:15 > 0:05:19'South Africa's most wanted white terrorist.'

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Why don't we let you get up?

0:05:20 > 0:05:26- Just come and have a seat here, I'll be up in a few seconds.- All right.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Sorry to wake you. - That's OK, you're welcome.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32Look, shall we come back in half an hour? Or an hour?

0:05:32 > 0:05:38- What time is it now?- About 4:30. - Well, I told you four o'clock, man.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Please come in.- We'll come back in an hour.- OK.- All right?

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Don't photograph me, you bastard!

0:05:51 > 0:05:53These are the leader's dogs

0:05:53 > 0:05:58and this is the closest we've got to the leader since we've arrived.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06'We finally agreed to meet the leader

0:06:06 > 0:06:09'at a barbecue being given in our honour.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11'Johann, one of the town councillors, was host -

0:06:11 > 0:06:14'largely, I think, because he was taken by the blonde hair,

0:06:14 > 0:06:17'blue eyes and Aryan looks of my assistant, Rita.'

0:06:21 > 0:06:23What do you people expect to get here?

0:06:24 > 0:06:26I don't know, we're just looking.

0:06:26 > 0:06:32No, but you people left home, you climb on the aeroplane,

0:06:32 > 0:06:35then you travel 14 hours to South Africa.

0:06:35 > 0:06:41What did you people expect to get here, eh? People wearing pants?

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Good people.

0:06:42 > 0:06:47- So the Queen of England... - 'JP, the leader's driver, was there too

0:06:47 > 0:06:50'only he'd shaved his beard off since we had last seen him.'

0:06:52 > 0:06:56And you're my brother, you've got the same colour as what I've got.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00- You were made to the image of God. - What colour?- White.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Or do you think the image of God is my face or your face?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15If you read the Bible, what do you say, what is the image of God?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Well, tell me.- It's our colour.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22This white uniform that God gave us to wear.

0:07:25 > 0:07:30This is the image of God, the white colour. We are special people.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Even if you don't realise it, you'll realise it in the end.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40You might not realise it now but you are part of my people.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Don't you believe that? - I don't know, I haven't...

0:07:45 > 0:07:52You should come to South Africa more often, man. I'll convert you.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00'There was still no sign of the leader.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03'I asked Johann, the town councillor, where he was.'

0:08:04 > 0:08:09I don't know. I really don't know.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15'We were making slow progress. I was asked if I wanted

0:08:15 > 0:08:19'to interview the fugitive Piet Rudolph for 5,000

0:08:19 > 0:08:21'but I was still no closer to the leader.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25'I was reduced to pleading to ride with the leader to his next meeting

0:08:25 > 0:08:28'in the hope I could ask a couple of questions on the way.'

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- In the car?- Yeah. - I told you the leader won't allow it.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34He said, no way. Not a chance.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38I just wanted to show you driving and...

0:08:40 > 0:08:46There's nothing to driving a car that needs filming. Is there?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Do we drive differently to the people in your country?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Goodbye.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04A report came through from Cape Town of AWB supporters

0:09:04 > 0:09:06badly beating three young black children

0:09:06 > 0:09:10and five black schoolteachers as they were leaving a swimming pool.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14The AWB has vowed to keep the pool for whites only.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42We were on the outskirts of Pretoria when we discovered

0:09:42 > 0:09:46we weren't going to be able to get our interview with Pete Rudolph.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Good evening. One of South Africa's most wanted fugitives,

0:09:50 > 0:09:53right winger Piet Rudolph, has been arrested in Pretoria.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Rudolph, known as "Piet Skiet", was wanted for questioning

0:09:56 > 0:10:00in connection with the theft of a quantity of arms and ammunition

0:10:00 > 0:10:02from a defence force base in Pretoria.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Law and Order Minister Adriaan Vlok said Rudolph

0:10:05 > 0:10:09had been arrested in Paul Kruger Street in Wonderboom this afternoon.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19AWB, AWB, AWB!

0:10:25 > 0:10:27'People are stunned by Piet Rudolph's arrest.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31'The leader recites a poem about the death of the 27,000 Boer women

0:10:31 > 0:10:34'and children in the British concentration camps.'

0:11:07 > 0:11:10'Now that Piet Rudolph was arrested,

0:11:10 > 0:11:13'JP was terrified that he would be put back in prison.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16'Piet Rudolph had promised he would kill himself

0:11:16 > 0:11:20'rather than testify against his collaborators in the AWB.'

0:11:40 > 0:11:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:12:13 > 0:12:18- Good morning. My, but you're early. - 'This is the driver's wife, Anita.'

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Is JP still here? - Yes, he's sleeping.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25- He's only going to the office a little bit later.- Oh, I see.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30- So he's not going to disappear or anything?- No, I don't think so.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31I hope not so.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Because last night, JP said he thought he might have to...

0:12:34 > 0:12:40Yes, he's a bit frightened at the moment and I think he's nervous

0:12:40 > 0:12:42but I talked to him last night

0:12:42 > 0:12:45and said he must think properly about things.

0:12:45 > 0:12:50About me and the kids staying alone at home and things like that, you know?

0:12:50 > 0:12:53So what do you think he'll...?

0:12:53 > 0:12:54I don't know.

0:12:55 > 0:13:00I think he'll think about it today and then make a decision.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04But I can't really decide for him and I can't do anything.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09I must take what he's doing. I'm used to that.

0:13:09 > 0:13:14Yeah, because we thought he might be going halfway through the night yesterday.

0:13:14 > 0:13:20Oh. No, no. Would you like to see him? He's still in bed.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- You can come and see him. - He's probably asleep, is he?- Yes. - Maybe we should let him sleep.

0:13:24 > 0:13:29- Or shall we have a quick look? - Yeah, just to be sure he is there!

0:13:31 > 0:13:33'There was an announcement in the paper that day

0:13:33 > 0:13:36'that Piet Rudolph intended to go on hunger strike.'

0:13:37 > 0:13:41I'm quite upset because he's the best human being in the whole world.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48And...looks to me like he's going to become the second Bobby Sands,

0:13:48 > 0:13:52or the South African Bobby Sands, as the newspaper says.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57What did you admire so much about him?

0:13:57 > 0:13:59His whole personality.

0:14:00 > 0:14:05He's not really a criminal, he's just a guy that loves his volk and his country.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Do you think he'll go through with a hunger strike?

0:14:09 > 0:14:14Oh, yes, he'll carry through with it. Definitely.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17What will you do if they come to arrest you again?

0:14:17 > 0:14:22They won't arrest me again. I won't allow them, they'll have to kill me.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'm sleeping with a Luger right next to me.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Would you seriously use it?

0:14:38 > 0:14:43Yes, I don't think I'll try seriously to kill somebody

0:14:43 > 0:14:48but I'll definitely make a lot of noise and force them to shoot me.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49That I'd do.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01'We were hoping to see the leader later that morning.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04'In the meantime, we accompanied Anita, JP's wife,

0:15:04 > 0:15:06'who works as a health visitor.'

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Somebody's calling us along the road.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16THEY CHAT IN NATIVE DIALECT

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Just hold the line. Condoms.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22'Her chief concerns are sterilisation

0:15:22 > 0:15:24'and the distribution of condoms.'

0:15:27 > 0:15:30THEY CHAT FURTHER

0:15:32 > 0:15:34All right.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50'That week in Anita's area, they manage to sterilise 60 women.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57'We were due to have a meeting with the lead at 11am.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59'I had been advised not to ask the leader

0:15:59 > 0:16:03'any direct personal questions and to drop or rephrase any questions

0:16:03 > 0:16:05'that he took obvious exception to.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08'Apparently, he was particularly sensitive about questions

0:16:08 > 0:16:12'about his relationship with Jani Allan, the gossip columnist,

0:16:12 > 0:16:15'and to reports that week that three members of the AWB executive

0:16:15 > 0:16:19'in the Cape had emptied their guns into a black bus,

0:16:19 > 0:16:21'killing seven and wounding 20.'

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Hello, good morning. - Good morning, can I help?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Yes, we've come to do our interview with Mr Terre Blanche.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Oh, he's in a...meeting.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34- He's in a meeting?- Yes.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Oh.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- He didn't leave a message about us coming here?- No, no. No message.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44So this is Mr Terre Blanche here.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47This might be the closest we'll ever get to Mr Terre Blanche.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11'We'd been trying for weeks to get permission to film

0:17:11 > 0:17:14'at the APK breakaway church which is still exclusively white

0:17:14 > 0:17:16'and that all members of the AWB belong to,

0:17:16 > 0:17:19'but just couldn't get through the door.'

0:17:19 > 0:17:21So, what are you busying with?

0:17:21 > 0:17:24We were just getting some shots of the people outside.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Yes, but you haven't got any permission to do this, or what?

0:17:27 > 0:17:32I thought we were allowed to film outside but we couldn't film inside?

0:17:32 > 0:17:33No, I don't think it's...

0:17:36 > 0:17:40No, I think we'd rather leave it alone because we must first

0:17:40 > 0:17:43go into this case and see what it's all about, you know?

0:17:43 > 0:17:49- Which case? - This filming of the building and...

0:17:50 > 0:17:53'At the golf club I was shouted at for being a Communist

0:17:53 > 0:17:57'and an ANC sympathiser and refused a drink at the bar.'

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Good morning.- Can I help you? - We asked you before...

0:18:00 > 0:18:03No, we said this is a private place, no photos, no nothing. Please.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- I'm sorry, I thought you said that we could film here.- No.

0:18:40 > 0:18:46- What is prettier than a pretty woman?- RITA: I don't know.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50It's a woman who's pretty but is sitting bad.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52She looks prettier.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55'Johann was trying to talk my assistant Rita into marrying him.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57'He and his friend Anton had a special joke for her.'

0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Can you understand it?- What is prettier than a pretty woman?

0:19:02 > 0:19:08- I don't know.- When a pretty woman sits pretty.- Sits bad, not pretty.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12- Oh, bad.- Ja.- And she looks prettier.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19- I still don't get it. - You can't get it?

0:19:19 > 0:19:21You see, a woman's a pretty thing.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26There's nothing prettier than a woman, only one thing is prettier.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31- A pretty woman sitting bad... - Is prettier.- ..is prettier.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05'Finally, we were going to meet the leader.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08'We were amongst a group of other journalists and photographers,

0:20:15 > 0:20:18'Originally we were being told that we would have an exclusive,

0:20:18 > 0:20:20'but the leader clearly had other ideas.'

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- How are you people?- How do you do? - Fine. Good to see you again.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Hope you enjoy it.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28We're looking forward to watching today.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30And tomorrow, as well, isn't it?

0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Well, I'm not sure, you'll have to arrange that with the Kommandant.- OK.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48SHOUTING

0:20:57 > 0:21:02We like the atmosphere here. It's quite nice.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Close the bottom three fingers.

0:21:16 > 0:21:21Lay your trigger finger alongside the trigger guard on the frame. OK?

0:21:21 > 0:21:25That's your single hand grip. Nice and firm but not too hard.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15'cracking several of his ribs

0:22:15 > 0:22:19'and leaving him hospitalised for days when he got a bit too close.

0:23:01 > 0:23:06- Ja?- Do you think maybe we could do an interview with you later today?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09My good friend, I said last week you can have an interview with me

0:23:09 > 0:23:11- in my office.- OK.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15- So I let you come to this place.- OK. - To see all this.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00'because he was in Pretoria

0:24:03 > 0:24:07- 'about AWB violence.' - NEWSREADER: Mr Vlok expressed concern about the breaking up

0:24:07 > 0:24:09of political meetings and the activities

0:24:09 > 0:24:12of the AWB's Boer commandos.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Mr Blanche said at a news conference after the meeting

0:24:15 > 0:24:17that the unruly behaviour of people

0:24:17 > 0:24:20at National Party meetings was the result of what

0:24:20 > 0:24:24he called the government's policy of selling out whites to terrorists,

0:24:24 > 0:24:26and if the government wanted to stop such actions,

0:24:26 > 0:24:28it should stop the reform process.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41'I had the feeling that Anita didn't like the leader very much.'

0:24:41 > 0:24:47Yes, in a sense I like him, but he's also very...dominative.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53When he tells you to get up, you must get up.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Now, sometimes I'm stubborn.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58If he says to me, "Get up," then I'll sit down.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00And he tells me to go and fetch something,

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I say... I'll tell him that I'm busy now.

0:25:04 > 0:25:10- It's just, um...a reaction of mine against...- Maybe it's good for him.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Pardon?- Maybe it's good for him.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15For the leader? No, it's not good.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19And that's what JP discovered long ago.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22It's no use going against him, rather please him

0:25:22 > 0:25:25and you'll have a much more comfortable man.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29When you go against him, he gets more and more aggravated.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32But now I can't help myself.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36I'm just stubborn when I'm in his company.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47'I decided to employ a more direct paparazzi style.'

0:25:54 > 0:25:59- When you take photos of me, you have to ask me, OK?- All right. Sorry.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Now, you've really upset him.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10What? Just because we...?

0:26:19 > 0:26:24I assumed he didn't mind us taking pictures of him.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27'We travelled to Upington on the Namibian border.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33OK, now. I suppose you want to ask me a few questions.

0:29:34 > 0:29:40Of course, I want to use this little time to talk to my people.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Do you want to ask a few questions?

0:29:42 > 0:29:47- We just wanted to film a little. - But that is not fair.

0:29:47 > 0:29:52Because my people do not know that they are on camera in Britain

0:29:52 > 0:29:56when they are not there to defend themselves.

0:29:56 > 0:30:01- Would you like us to stop?- If I want you to stop? Well, I think so.

0:30:12 > 0:30:16So this is really a private conversation.

0:30:16 > 0:30:21I want to chat with my people. And that is not for broadcasting. OK.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23CHEERING

0:30:25 > 0:30:29The one place we did receive a warm welcome

0:30:29 > 0:30:32was from the kids in the township outside Vanderstoep.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35Few of them had ever touched white skin.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53Kaffir Cat.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Kaffir Cat. Kaffir Cat.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Why do you call it Kaffir Cat?

0:31:01 > 0:31:03Because it's black.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06Blacks are called Kaffirs here.

0:31:06 > 0:31:13So Jani wants to call it Blackie or something like that, so I said,

0:31:13 > 0:31:17"No. Every second dog and cat in town that's black are called Blackie."

0:31:17 > 0:31:21"Let's be different and call it Kaffir Cat."

0:31:21 > 0:31:23So I think it's a marvellous idea.

0:31:28 > 0:31:36Tell us, what exactly did JP do with Piet Rudolph?

0:31:36 > 0:31:40And why did he go to prison? What did they want from him?

0:31:40 > 0:31:44They thought he knew where Piet Rudolph was.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47And he did not know where he stayed.

0:31:49 > 0:31:54But he just helped him because Mr Rudolph was his good friend

0:31:54 > 0:31:58and he was loyal to him.

0:31:58 > 0:32:02I mean, I'm also loyal to Mr Rudolph. He's a good man.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05What did JP do with Piet Rudolph?

0:32:07 > 0:32:10Now he...

0:32:10 > 0:32:16He introduced him to the people who know how to work explosives.

0:32:16 > 0:32:22Piet Rudolph and them come to an agreement...

0:32:22 > 0:32:26to blow up Melrose House.

0:32:26 > 0:32:32But JP wasn't pleased. He had nothing to do with it, really,

0:32:32 > 0:32:37other than introducing Mr Rudolph to those people.

0:32:42 > 0:32:49JP's houseboy is cleaning the BMW with the three sevens number plate.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53The Biblical three sevens are the AWB's adopted emblem and insignia.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58So, JP, what does the triple seven stand for on the car?

0:33:01 > 0:33:03It's a normal registration number.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06I thought the triple seven had a significance.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07It has a significance.

0:33:07 > 0:33:11Don't you think it's beautiful having a registration number like that?

0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Explain it to us. - There's not much to explain.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18- You want me to explain the sevens or the registration number?- The sevens.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20Well, the sevens are the sevens of God.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Comes out of the Bible. Right through the Bible, you read about seven.

0:33:24 > 0:33:28God created Earth in seven days. He created man on the seventh day.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30He actually rested on the seventh day,

0:33:30 > 0:33:33man was created on the sixth day.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35We took it as our sign.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39It's the antipole of the triple sixes of the Antichrist.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43What kinds of people do you think are Antichrists?

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Satan and his disciples.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50Anybody that works with Satan.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52And, of course, the international money power.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55They are working in his hand.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Who are "they"?

0:33:57 > 0:34:02- Just look around. Who owns Chase Manhattan Bank?- Who does?

0:34:02 > 0:34:07Well, it's the... Rothschilds and the Rockefellers.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10And the Oppenheimers of the world.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17Have you ever read the book

0:34:17 > 0:34:22called The Illuminati And The CFR Conspiracy?

0:34:22 > 0:34:25Do yourself a favour and get hold of that book.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51The Terre Blanche interview

0:34:51 > 0:34:54had developed into some ridiculous kind of game.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56We once again arrived

0:34:56 > 0:34:59for an appointment to find he'd gone to yet another meeting.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01At least this time, though, we'd gotten into his office

0:35:01 > 0:35:06and were able to poke around in some of the leader's memorabilia.

0:35:06 > 0:35:11A picture of the leader as a policeman in the South African police force

0:35:11 > 0:35:14that had been used as a recruiting poster at the time.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17Terre Blanche, the poet and writer, whose play in Afrikaans

0:35:17 > 0:35:21about the Boer people and their struggle against thirst and hunger

0:35:21 > 0:35:25was compulsory reading in the school syllabus for children in Natal.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28Terre Blanche the private man whose nine-year-old daughter

0:35:28 > 0:35:32is rarely allowed out to play with other children for security reasons.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36Portraits of the original Boer generals who fought

0:35:36 > 0:35:41the British from 1899 to 1902 look on across the room, and almost silently witnessed

0:35:41 > 0:35:45the destruction of Terre Blanche's political career when he was found

0:35:45 > 0:35:48on the steps of the Paardekraal Monument with Jani Allan,

0:35:48 > 0:35:50a former model turned journalist.

0:35:50 > 0:35:55After their first meeting, Jani referred to the leader as Ramboer

0:35:55 > 0:36:00and wrote, "He doesn't walk into a room, he takes occupation of it.

0:36:00 > 0:36:04"Things shrink, the roomscape insidiously rearranges itself

0:36:04 > 0:36:06"so that he becomes the focal point.

0:36:06 > 0:36:10"He speaks with a rich earth-brown voice, sometimes the texture

0:36:10 > 0:36:11"of a newly ploughed field,

0:36:11 > 0:36:14"sometimes it's a caress of warm corduroy.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18"Right now, I've got to remind myself to breathe.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22"I'm impaled on the blue flames of his blowtorch eyes."

0:36:22 > 0:36:26Jani Allan left South Africa after a bomb exploded in her apartment.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40Johan the town councillor is particularly concerned

0:36:40 > 0:36:44that black men are starting to have sex with white women.

0:36:44 > 0:36:49What about AIDS in this country? Tell him about AIDS.

0:36:49 > 0:36:54- AIDS in this country...- They've got millions here.- The blacks...

0:36:54 > 0:36:56I've got something in mind.

0:36:56 > 0:37:01I've got a paper to show you. They used it the other day.

0:37:01 > 0:37:08There is always 20 or 30, or 120,000 blacks that's got AIDS.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11But the next day, I don't know where it came from,

0:37:11 > 0:37:16I still want to find out, next week,

0:37:16 > 0:37:20they talk about 1.5 million who's got AIDS.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Now.- Where is apartheid? - Where is apartheid now?

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Since apartheid disappeared, with FW de Klerk,

0:37:29 > 0:37:32- we've got all the bloody AIDS. - We'll die.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36- It's unreal, man.- We'll die.

0:37:39 > 0:37:45We will die all of AIDS. We can't mix. We can't mix.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48Like I tell you one thing, people,

0:37:48 > 0:37:51the whole world is crying for the blacks.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55The next thing is, I'm a Christian, I've got the Bible.

0:37:55 > 0:37:59I've got the Bible. And I believe in my Bible, I read my Bible.

0:38:02 > 0:38:10Before the world is going to disappear, through fire,

0:38:10 > 0:38:17AIDS is going to take 80% of the world's population.

0:38:17 > 0:38:23And 20% of that is going to survive.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27I won't say 20%, I'm not sure, I'm not Christ.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31I just make a statement to this.

0:38:31 > 0:38:36And I can tell you one thing, that few people who's going to be left

0:38:36 > 0:38:40is going to be Christians, and they're going to start

0:38:40 > 0:38:45a whole new, decent world, without Mandela and de Klerk.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Let me tell you that tonight. - AIDS will help us.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51AIDS is going to kill all the kaffirs.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54Yeah, we don't want to mix.

0:38:54 > 0:38:59We don't want to mix because AIDS will kill all the blacks.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02And we're going to survive.

0:39:02 > 0:39:08And when we are separate, apartheid was the word, what do you call it?

0:39:08 > 0:39:14- We will survive. - You're going to survive.- Yeah.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18The blacks is going for the white woman now in South Africa.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22- And this is where the war's going to start.- Yeah, I'm telling you.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- This is not Rhodesia. - I know Rhodesia.

0:39:28 > 0:39:33You know what's going to happen here? Did you ever see bullets fly?

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Did you ever see it? This is what's going to...

0:39:36 > 0:39:39I've got three daughters.

0:39:39 > 0:39:46One is 15, one is just under 14, one is just under 12.

0:39:46 > 0:39:53And I tell you one thing, if a black ever tries to touch my daughter,

0:39:53 > 0:39:59I don't care who's in charge of the government, or the police,

0:39:59 > 0:40:01I'll shoot the whole lot out.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05Fire. Little.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14So, he's going to be a gunmen yet?

0:41:14 > 0:41:19I think anybody likes to play with a gun, balance or something like that.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25He's just a natural boy.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29'A couple of hours later, Yanni shot Terre Blanche's daughter,

0:41:29 > 0:41:30'which went down less well.'

0:41:44 > 0:41:49'It was the AWB annual dinner, being held at a golf club near Sun City.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51'There was trouble down on the Cape,

0:41:51 > 0:41:54'and JP had gone out alone to sort things out.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57'I asked to go too, but all I got from him was that he was

0:43:17 > 0:43:20I was just calling up to see if it might be possible

0:43:20 > 0:43:22to interview the leader today?

0:44:24 > 0:44:27You upset him terribly.

0:44:27 > 0:44:31We were there waiting half an hour from six to 6.30.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33And what about this afternoon?

0:44:33 > 0:44:37And this afternoon, we were there at 12.15, and at one o'clock.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39HE TALKS AFRIKAANS

0:44:39 > 0:44:42'JP and Anita ended up getting caught in the crossfire

0:44:42 > 0:44:44'between us and the leader.

0:44:44 > 0:44:48'A considerable amount of anger had been directed at JP that day.'

0:44:48 > 0:44:52I've had more shit than I could handle today.

0:44:52 > 0:44:55So I'm glad it's you having the interview, and not me.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57He said, OK, for my part,

0:44:57 > 0:45:01he's willing to see you at seven o'clock tonight.

0:45:02 > 0:45:06At the office. He'll be there. I'll take him there.

0:45:08 > 0:45:12I'll take you there, too, so as I see that you are all there together.

0:45:12 > 0:45:15- But I've had enough now. - Have you?- I really have.

0:45:15 > 0:45:19I think if he's not happy about being interviewed by someone,

0:45:19 > 0:45:22it's not going to be a happy occasion, he shouldn't do it.

0:45:22 > 0:45:25- Don't you want to do it?- I want to do it, but I want to do it...

0:45:25 > 0:45:28Well, then you better do it on his terms, friend.

0:45:30 > 0:45:34Mr Terre Blanche, I'm very sorry that we were ten minutes late.

0:45:34 > 0:45:37I'm not making a movie. I'm not making a film.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39I'm preparing my people for a fight.

0:45:41 > 0:45:44- Don't do it to me again. - Well, we won't...

0:45:44 > 0:45:48Yes, you won't, because you will have tonight what you're looking for,

0:45:48 > 0:45:49and then you'll go out.

0:45:49 > 0:45:53They'll move out. So, let's finish it.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57And stop it.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00Mr Terre Blanche, I'm very sorry that we were ten minutes late.

0:46:00 > 0:46:03Oh... (HE MUMBLES)

0:46:04 > 0:46:10Stop it. I'm not accepting your apologising. You were late.

0:46:10 > 0:46:15And I listened to that man, Mr Meyer, he said to you,

0:46:15 > 0:46:17"If you are late, no interview!"

0:46:19 > 0:46:21Yet you chose to be late.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25If I'm not so important that you are on time here,

0:46:25 > 0:46:28why the hell was it discussed with you, anything?

0:46:30 > 0:46:31Where were you?

0:46:32 > 0:46:37Where were you, the time when you should be arrived at my place?

0:46:37 > 0:46:39Where were you?

0:46:39 > 0:46:41Well, I think we were actually five minutes late...

0:46:41 > 0:46:44Yes, five minutes is enough, man.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47Where were you then at 12.15? Tell me!

0:46:48 > 0:46:50I heard him...

0:46:50 > 0:46:56At that stage, I was busy with a meeting, and I hear him say,

0:46:56 > 0:46:59"If you are late, stop it."

0:46:59 > 0:47:04So I ran from the City Hall to the office, and you were not here.

0:47:04 > 0:47:05I was on time, that you were late.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08Well, we were then told to come back at one, which we did.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11That is not the point, the point is you were late.

0:47:11 > 0:47:16Who are so important, that you people were late, tell me?

0:47:16 > 0:47:19Well, we then came back at six...

0:47:19 > 0:47:22- No, who were so important that you were late?- We were five minutes late.

0:47:22 > 0:47:26Who was so important that you were five minutes late? Tell me.

0:47:26 > 0:47:30Give me the name of the man, he must be a hell of an important man.

0:47:31 > 0:47:37- Who was it?- I think we were just actually, were we getting some tea?

0:47:37 > 0:47:43Well, that's good. Tea and dinner is better than a man.

0:47:43 > 0:47:46I thought you used up my time for somebody else.

0:47:51 > 0:47:54Well, all we can do is say that we are sorry,

0:47:54 > 0:47:56we waited a lot today to try and interview you...

0:47:56 > 0:47:59You can't do anything, my good friend.

0:47:59 > 0:48:02Nothing. I will always remember it.

0:48:04 > 0:48:06This is the heartland. This is Africa.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10And I am a Boer.

0:48:10 > 0:48:14And I will never accept that, because I will never do it to you.

0:48:18 > 0:48:21With my full programme, I will never, ever do it to you,

0:48:21 > 0:48:23but yet you did it to me.

0:48:25 > 0:48:26What do you want from me?

0:48:26 > 0:48:29Well, we wanted to ask you some questions about...

0:48:29 > 0:48:32Well, you can ask me questions. Yes.

0:48:32 > 0:48:37- What?- At what point did you decide that it was a war?

0:48:41 > 0:48:45When I, when I choose a time.

0:48:49 > 0:48:53When I choose a time, I will decide it will be war.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56Are you one of my generals?

0:48:56 > 0:48:58No, I'm just asking you when you decided it was a war?

0:48:58 > 0:49:02Yes, when I decide, it will be a war, I will choose a time.

0:49:02 > 0:49:06Are you one of the officers or one of the generals?

0:49:06 > 0:49:08So I will not tell you.

0:49:08 > 0:49:13But what I can tell you is we will never accept an ANC government

0:49:13 > 0:49:15over my people, OK?

0:49:16 > 0:49:21Then we will start the war, that day or that night.

0:49:22 > 0:49:28But it will be my choice. And as you are not an officer or general...

0:49:28 > 0:49:31I think maybe you misunderstood me, what I meant...

0:49:31 > 0:49:33No, I've not misunderstood you.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36What I meant was, at what time did you decide

0:49:36 > 0:49:37you might have to go to war?

0:49:37 > 0:49:42When I choose a time. I'm not misunderstanding you.

0:49:43 > 0:49:47I will decide when. And that is my choice.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50What I was meaning, at what point did you decide

0:49:50 > 0:49:52that AWB needed to be formed,

0:49:52 > 0:49:56in order to fight a war, if you needed to fight one?

0:49:56 > 0:50:04I answered your question already. That is my choice, my good friend.

0:50:07 > 0:50:10'JP said it was the worst interview he had ever witnessed.

0:50:10 > 0:50:14'I think he then expected us to go back to England,

0:50:14 > 0:50:16'but then instead, we went with him to Carletonville,

0:53:09 > 0:53:11- JP...- Yeah.

0:53:13 > 0:53:16Are you kidding us that you're through with AWB, or are you honest?

0:53:16 > 0:53:18I'm honest.

0:53:19 > 0:53:22Well, what made you decide to stop working for Mr Terre Blanche?

0:53:22 > 0:53:25Are you filming me?

0:53:29 > 0:53:34- Just be honest, JP.- Well, I just...

0:53:34 > 0:53:38- I just decided to call it a day.- Why?

0:53:38 > 0:53:40- I'm fed up. - What are you going to do instead?

0:53:40 > 0:53:42I'm going to work on the mines.

0:53:44 > 0:53:46Come and make yourself at home, I'm just fetching Anita.

0:53:59 > 0:54:03But what specifically made you decide to change?

0:54:44 > 0:54:48So how are you going to try and persuade JP...

0:54:48 > 0:54:51Oh, we'll discuss this later. I don't know yet how.

0:54:53 > 0:54:58But if he thinks it's the best belief, I won't stand in his way.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01He's not going to leave the AWB.

0:55:01 > 0:55:05He's only going to leave his job.

0:55:05 > 0:55:09- So these are the ingredients for what?- For teargas.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15That's formalin and Condy's crystals.

0:55:17 > 0:55:21- And what do you do with it?- You mix it together, and you get teargas.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25- But beautiful teargas. - No, that's good teargas.

0:55:25 > 0:55:27And do you have a lot of uses for it?

0:55:27 > 0:55:29Only to break up NP meetings.

0:55:30 > 0:55:32That's all we use it for!

0:55:33 > 0:55:37That's apart from the genuine teargas that we steal from the Army.

0:55:57 > 0:56:00That's teargas.

0:56:21 > 0:56:23- Go, JP.- Bye-bye.

0:56:23 > 0:56:26'JP promised that when his friends left,

0:56:26 > 0:56:29'he would explain why he resigned, and what he intends to do.

0:56:41 > 0:56:44'And I'm hoping, with enough pushing,

0:56:44 > 0:56:46'we are about to watch the transformation

0:56:46 > 0:56:49'of a white supremacist into a new South African.'

0:56:50 > 0:56:54No, I think you're giving us a kind of party line at the moment.

0:56:54 > 0:56:57And that you were going through a real dilemma.

0:56:57 > 0:56:59And that you felt very disillusioned,

0:56:59 > 0:57:02both with the leader and with Piet Rudolph.

0:57:02 > 0:57:04But I don't think you're prepared to talk about that openly.

0:57:08 > 0:57:10Look... (HE CLEARS HIS THROAT)

0:57:10 > 0:57:13Yesterday, and the day before yesterday, I promised you

0:57:13 > 0:57:18that today you could speak to me, and you could ask me anything,

0:57:18 > 0:57:21and as far as possible, I'd be honest with you.

0:57:22 > 0:57:26When you caught me yesterday and the day before yesterday,

0:57:26 > 0:57:28I was really at my weakest.

0:57:28 > 0:57:31That's why I didn't want to speak to you.

0:57:31 > 0:57:34That's why I made a promise to speak to you today.

0:57:34 > 0:57:40So, I can't say I think you really, you shouldn't blame me

0:57:40 > 0:57:43- for being dishonest with you. - No, I'm not blaming you,

0:57:43 > 0:57:47I understand what you're really thinking.

0:57:47 > 0:57:51You see, any person that goes through this type of thing needs

0:57:51 > 0:57:56a few hours with himself to sort out his thoughts,

0:57:56 > 0:57:58and I've had the time...

0:57:59 > 0:58:04..and as I'm sitting here at the moment, I'm really honest with you.

0:58:04 > 0:58:08The things I tell you here, I'm honest, I can promise you that.

0:58:08 > 0:58:11That's why I didn't want you to film me yesterday.

0:58:11 > 0:58:15- So, what are your feelings about? - My feelings at the moment,

0:58:15 > 0:58:19I've decided to resign, and I'm not sorry about that.

0:58:19 > 0:58:21I've resigned from the AWB.

0:58:21 > 0:58:23I'm not in their employ any more,

0:58:23 > 0:58:26but that doesn't stop me from being a member of the AWB

0:58:26 > 0:58:28as an organisation,

0:58:28 > 0:58:32and I'll still do my part in the revolution that's coming.

0:58:32 > 0:58:36And if all these things they say about Piet Rudolph is true,

0:58:36 > 0:58:40then we need somebody to take his place.

0:58:42 > 0:58:47And if we couldn't find anybody like that, I'm willing to take his place.

0:58:49 > 0:58:53I don't think of myself as great a man as Piet Rudolph,

0:58:53 > 0:58:55I'm not saying that.

0:58:56 > 0:59:00But at least we need somebody to do the job,

0:59:00 > 0:59:02and if it has to fall on me, I'll have to do it.

0:59:04 > 0:59:07- I'm honest with you now.- What kind of things are you prepared...?

0:59:07 > 0:59:10Anything that Piet has done up to this moment.

0:59:10 > 0:59:13And anything that might pop up in future,

0:59:13 > 0:59:15I don't know what will happen.

0:59:16 > 0:59:20Like what? Just mention what.

0:59:20 > 0:59:23One thing I'm quite sure of, I'd pick my targets better.

0:59:25 > 0:59:27What kind of targets would you go for?

0:59:29 > 0:59:34Up to this stage, or up to the stage that Piet Rudolph was arrested,

0:59:34 > 0:59:39the Boerevolk hasn't really decided yet to kill people.

0:59:41 > 0:59:44And I'm not at this moment saying that I might kill people,

0:59:44 > 0:59:49but it might just get to that point where we'll have to do that.

0:59:49 > 0:59:52What kinds of people would be killed?

0:59:52 > 0:59:54Well, the enemies of our volk.

0:59:54 > 0:59:56The people that are at the moment they're very busy

0:59:56 > 0:59:58- selling out our people.- Like who?

1:00:00 > 1:00:02Well, I can't at the moment think of any names,

1:00:02 > 1:00:05but if you want to mention names, maybe people like Vlok, and FW

1:00:05 > 1:00:10and Mandela, all the enemies of our volk.

1:00:10 > 1:00:12And even people from outside our country

1:00:12 > 1:00:16that want to poke their long noses into our affairs.

1:00:18 > 1:00:21I'm not sure, I haven't got any targets,

1:00:21 > 1:00:25but I feel the climate is beginning to be ripe

1:00:25 > 1:00:28for human life to be taken.

1:00:39 > 1:00:44- Hey. Put it down.- Switch off. - Switch off.

1:00:44 > 1:00:46All right, see you!

1:00:46 > 1:00:48'For once, the leader was playing and joking around with us.

1:00:59 > 1:01:03'and he saw it as a message to the world of his strength and support.

1:01:07 > 1:01:11'The leader is in the truck, closely tailed by a security vehicle.

1:01:11 > 1:01:16'He is carrying his saddle as he plans to ride into the stadium on his favourite horse.

1:01:18 > 1:01:22'he would sleep with his horse in the stables the night before.

1:01:22 > 1:01:24'We have agreed to carry JP's drums

1:02:52 > 1:02:54Ja.

1:02:54 > 1:02:56What is he saying?

1:02:56 > 1:02:59He wants to show the State President that they would like

1:03:26 > 1:03:30'The 5,000 that the leader had expected didn't show up

1:03:30 > 1:03:31'and I heard he was furious.

1:03:33 > 1:03:36'I gathered also that his night with his horse in the stables

1:03:36 > 1:03:39'hadn't been a great success and part-way through

1:03:39 > 1:03:42'he had retreated to the Holiday Inn for more comfortable accommodation.

1:03:46 > 1:03:49'To make matters worse, we had shown up late with JP's drum kit

1:03:49 > 1:03:53'and the leader blamed us personally for delaying the parade.

1:03:53 > 1:03:57'In a particularly animated argument with my assistant Rita,

1:03:57 > 1:04:00'he had actually accused us of trying to sabotage the day.'

1:04:02 > 1:04:06- Excuse me, Mr Terre Blanche.- Yes. - I am sorry about the mix-up.

1:04:06 > 1:04:07Listen, my good friend.

1:04:07 > 1:04:10This is the last time that one of your people, I don't mind

1:04:10 > 1:04:14whether it is a woman or not, be cheeky with me, you understand?

1:04:14 > 1:04:17This is my country, this is my place, this is my day here.

1:04:18 > 1:04:21And last night I said I don't want you people any more here.

1:04:21 > 1:04:23This morning you have to speak to me.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25And the first thing you do is take photos.

1:04:25 > 1:04:27Before you even ask me if you are welcome or not.

1:04:27 > 1:04:30I thought this was a parade...

1:04:30 > 1:04:33If you, if you people interfere today again like you did yesterday,

1:04:33 > 1:04:37then you... I will put you out, you understand me?

1:04:39 > 1:04:42Yesterday, when we came from Ventersdorp,

1:04:42 > 1:04:45you even interfered with security.

1:04:45 > 1:04:48You passed my car two times and blocked the traffic

1:04:48 > 1:04:52so that the head of security cannot even see me.

1:04:52 > 1:04:54And you're just taking over. Who the hell do you think are?

1:04:54 > 1:04:56We were just trying to get a passing shot...

1:04:56 > 1:05:00Listen, I am not working for your bloody company, OK?

1:05:00 > 1:05:03So you do the things which I like, not what you people like.

1:05:03 > 1:05:05Can you understand me, lady?

1:05:07 > 1:05:09You even interfered with security.

1:05:09 > 1:05:12My wife and my child was in that bloody car.

1:05:14 > 1:05:16So what do you ask now?

1:05:16 > 1:05:19- Well, we just want to take the parade, that was all.- Yes, but...

1:05:20 > 1:05:24These... See that you are not in the way of the parade itself.

1:05:24 > 1:05:29- You can take some photos. Go on. But don't interfere. Please.- OK.

1:05:29 > 1:05:33And this man, I said in Ventersdorp,

1:05:33 > 1:05:36I tell you people when you can take shots from us.

1:05:36 > 1:05:39But he's like a bloody monkey.

1:05:39 > 1:05:43- He's hanging on that camera like a monkey in a bloody tree. - He is a monkey.

1:05:43 > 1:05:46You are a monkey. He definitely is.

1:05:46 > 1:05:49- Hey, monkey, put off that thing.- OK.

1:05:49 > 1:05:53Now you have got something to take to England.

1:05:53 > 1:05:56A good argument with me. That is exactly what you wanted.

1:05:56 > 1:05:59No, what we wanted to do was just to film the parade,

1:05:59 > 1:06:01we wanted to film a passing shot yesterday.

1:06:01 > 1:06:04Yesterday? I explained to the lady yesterday.

1:06:10 > 1:06:14- OK.- All right, Jim.- Follow me.

1:06:20 > 1:06:22SHOUTING AND COMMOTION

1:06:23 > 1:06:25DRUMMING

1:06:30 > 1:06:32APPLAUSE

1:06:55 > 1:06:59- JP.- Yes.- How are you doing? - Fine, thank you. Just tired.

1:06:59 > 1:07:01So how's the leader today?

1:07:03 > 1:07:06- Well, I saw him shutting you out. - Why's that?

1:07:06 > 1:07:08Apparently, he just doesn't like your face today.

1:07:18 > 1:07:21I just quickly see if I can find my wife.

1:07:21 > 1:07:25Because we've only got ten minutes and I've got to be back again.

1:07:25 > 1:07:29'A couple of months later, JP opened a small electrical store.

1:07:29 > 1:07:33'The leader's attempts at driving himself proved to be disastrous

1:07:33 > 1:07:37'when he and the 777 BMW plunged drunkenly into a river.

1:07:37 > 1:07:42'A large number of his supporters left the AWB following the incident.'
