"AFRIKANER BLOOD"

One of the white Afrikaner sergeants of the Kommandokorps camp shows the Afrikaner boys how to use a gun. He points the gun at Marco, who is one of the older boys at the camp. The kommandokorps camp is organized by self acclaimed 'Kolonel' Jooste, a South African white man who fought in the old apartheid army. He wants to put the white youth up against Nelson Mandela's culturally mixed 'rainbow nation'. He is afraid South Africa will be in a racially driven war soon and he wants to prepare the young white men.
