Ever outspoken, he also criticizes Mandela's refusal to abdicate armed resistance. "I never liked his policies," he says, "and he knows it."
One suspects that feeling was mutual.

At the end of the clip, reference is made to the Herstigte Nasionale Party (HNP) and its motto - "Die Land is Ons Land" (This Land is Our Land). The HNP was formed in October, of 1969, by former members of the National Party (NP) who disagreed with NP policies. The HNP, for example, had a very restrictive view about the rights of South Africa's non-whites.
