I find this interesting as South Africa is one of the places where "White Rights" activists are always looking. It's a story of how they dealt with somebody pushing racism. TL;DR version: eventual excommunication. Of course, this was a very, very bad form of racism which denied somebody was even human, and that's right out of the question.
This is relevant in more ways than that outcome: the leader of that traditionalist has worn an Ian Smith shirt around before and quite recently their group wrote some on facebook praising the idea of Orania - a whites-only town (actually, Afrikaaner-only) in the middle of South Africa which would hopefully expand to their own little self-sufficient nation purely for their own "volk". Frankly, this model is less odious than some other ones (ie, the bantustan idea), as they're taking voluntary action to create a self-sufficient community rather than, say, claiming all the good land in the country or exploiting a permanent underclass of workers to maintain their advantage, but it's still wrong.
