Context

1994 Bophuthatswana crisis

The Bophuthatswana Crisis highlighted the deep unpopularity of the Mangope government and the bantustan system among most of the residents.[12] It has been remembered largely for the televised execution of three Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) militants by a black police officer, Ontlametse Bernstein Menyatsoe. This proved to be a public relations disaster for the AWB and demoralised the movement, which was then intent on preserving white minority rule.

I once met an AWB member. Actual quote: "We don't hate racial slur. Don't think we hate racial slur." Just as casual as talking about a cup of tea.
