Young white South Africans are taking part in secret military training exercises on farms across the country the NewAge of South Africa has revealed.
It is reported that over weekends and during school holidays, about 1000 young whites go into the bush for boot camps, where border war veterans train them in parade ground drill, handling of firearms and self-defence.
The paramilitary training takes place on farms all over the country.

But in an attempt to quell any rumors of anticipated disturbances, political commentator Harald Pakendorf described the training camps as "beyond absurd" and said they represent only a very small minority of whites in South Africa who still practise racism.
"There is no need for this kind of paramilitary training. A township like Alexandra next to the upmarket suburb of Sandton also suffers violent crimes, but they do not resort to these kind of extremes," Pakendorf said. "It is nothing but racism."
Jooste who used to be one of the instructors who trained late AWB leader Eugene Terre'Blanche's elite unit, Ystergarde (Iron Guard) during the 1980s said Julius Malema threatens white South Africans with a revolution and they are concerned about the wide support he enjoys amongst the revolutionary black youth in South Africa.
Jooste says Malema showed his true colours when he recently visited President Robert Mugabe in Harare, and he makes no secret of the fact that he supports Mugabe's land grab policies.
Jooste said if the ANC Youth League managed to change the land ownership clauses in the Constitution it would mean war in the country.
He said that the whites would not give up their land, as it was their only investment for a future in South Africa.
He said the corps had also embarked on a major recruitment campaign to revive the old commando system.
Apart from the cadet training of the white youth, the corps also regularly hold training camps for men and women, teaching survival methods and advanced training for commando members.
"Our own people and our own land face major threats. The enemy has only one goal in mind: they want take everything we build up. We do not want to attack anybody and do not want to threaten anybody. We only want to protect our own people and our own land. Therefore we have decided to form the commandos again. We are not the aggressors, but do not provoke us," he warned.
There is a belief in South Africa of the Israel Vision that the Boer prophet, Siener van Rensburg, warned against the "Nag van Verskrikking" (The Night of the Long Knives) – supposedly due to happen when Madiba dies – Grobbelaar said that certain people let their emotions lead them, based on these prophecies.
