Herstigte Nasionale Party
Published in reaction to the first democratic elections of 1994.
Offset litho.
Produced in response to F.W. de Klerk's reforms, there was a Right-wing backlash. The reference in this poster is to maintaining the integrity of Apartheid.
This Herstigte Nasionale Party poster is signed by Piet Skiet Rudolph. Rudolph served as a Pretoria city councillor; was a member of the HNP; conservative Party and the AWB. He was granted amnesty from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for his part in the 'Siege of Venterdorp'. Rudolph also claimed responsibility for bombing Melrose House in Pretoria on the 26m of May 1990. At the time, as deputy leader of the Boerestaatparty, ordered the theft of weapons and ammunition from the SAAF headquarters.
Die Herstigte Nasionale Party is ’n verregse Suid-Afrikaansepolitieke party wat per geleentheid een parlementslid gehad het.
From IOL: “ Piet "Skiet" Rudolph's trial in the Pretoria district court was postponed again on Thursday as a defence witness was not brought to court.
Rudolph, leader of the Orde Boerevolk, wants Boeremag accused Wilhelm Pretorius to testify on his behalf.
Rudolph, 69, earlier pleaded not guilty to a charge of assaulting police Captain Johannes Cornelius Vice by pulling his tie and a charge of crimen injuria for allegedly calling Vice a "Boereslaner" (Boer assaulter) and a "Boereverraaier" (traitor to the Boers).
He also denied that he threatened to "take out" Vice and Superintendent Tollie Vreugdenburg. Both complainants are investigating officers in the Boeremag case.
It is alleged that Rudolph and the complainants were involved in a scuffle on May 4 last year when Rudolph wanted to attend the Boeremag trial in the Pretoria High Court.
Rudolph also laid a charge of crimen injuria against Vice and claimed Vice grabbed him by his collar.
The court earlier heard that, according to Rudolph, Vice had assaulted Pretorius, which would "justify" Rudolph calling Vice a "Boereslaner".
on Thursday magistrate JC Kruger postponed Rudolph's case, "due to problems getting your witness here".
Police spokesperson Director Sally de Beer said a subpoena to bring Pretorius to the district court was only delivered by 11:40am on Thursday.”
