Franz Jooste

“Let there be no doubt. Aside from the Aborigines in Australia, the African black is the most underdeveloped, barbaric species of the human race.”

“In South Africa, you can only be one of two things: either you are blind or you are a racist.”

These are some of the statements you’ll hear in this video, starring old-apartheid leader, Franz Jooste. It was filmed at a scouts camp – run by Jooste – where Afrikaner boys as young as 13 are being subjected to his indoctrination. You will also hear him share “scientific” facts that include black people having a 120 gram smaller brain than white people. This apparently prevents them from being able to think critically.

The footage forms part of a documentary that was made by journalist/videographer Elles van Gelder & photojournalist Ilvy Njiokiktjien about the right-wing organization Kommandokorps in South Africa. It was uploaded onto YouTube in December, but only went viral this weekend after a report in the Mail & Guardian.

The rest of the world is watching this as we speak. It is absolutely heartbreaking to see these young boys being molded into little r0botic racists like their leader. One can only hope the damage done to them is not permanent. What Franz Jooste is doing is donwnright shameful.
