Even many law-abiding Boers were distressed by Premier Malan's extra-legal methods, and some of his own party thought he was going too far. They found ominous the sights & sounds of Boer chauvinism: the way Malanite musclemen break up opposition meetings with eggs, tomatoes and stones; the budding of a private Nationalist army (Skietkommando) along the lines of Hitler's SS; the uniformed children chanting "Hou Koers" (Hold steadfast...
