The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB for short. English= Afrikaner Resistance Movement) is a White separatist movement founded, in 1973, by seven conservative Afrikaners. Since its inception the AWB has attracted criticism from both the National Party (who ruled South Africa under Apartheid), as well as liberal anti-Apartheid activists who demonised the movement’s aims in a bid to isolate conservative White South Africans from the mainstream of South African politics.
