Loading player...
The South African government has been accused of ignoring the rising threat posed by domestic extreme right-wing groups across the country, National Security News can reveal. Dr Siphiwe Dube, a senior lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand said he believes that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s government may be “sleeping a little” on the threat posed by right wing South African groups which are believed to be linked to other international extremist organisations. These remarks come in the wake of a police raid on a training camp of right-wing activists near Modimole in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa located on the farm of Louis Steytler. Authorities suspect the camp was providing military training.
