Spouting his admiration for Hitler and contempt for democracy, he was arrested as a Nazi agent in 1942, spent 14 months in a dusty internment camp at Koffiefontein in the Orange Free State. So extremist were his ideas that not even the Nationalists could stomach them at first. In 1948, the party turned down his application for membership on the ground that he "believed in the authoritarian state principle and advocated the destruction of parties...
