“Afrikaneers Blood: the born free generation” by the author Ilvy Njiokiktjien from Holland is the project exhibited at Fnac as part of the Circuit 2013. The Kommandokorps, an extreme right wing group in South Africa, rejects the Nelson Mandela’s ideals of the rainbow and multicultural nation while organizing and training youngs in military camps. The photographs are proof of all remaining racial and social problems in South Africa.
