South Africa’s security police are probing the distribution in this country of neo-Nazi literature, most of it emanating from the American Nazi Party in the United States, and some from French sources, it was revealed here today. It is believed that there are Nazi cells in South Africa that maintain contact with Colin Jordan’s Fascist party in Britain, as well as with Nazis in South America and in Europe.
The identified neo-Nazi literature has been traced to American sources led by George Lincoln Rockwell and to an anti-Semitic source in Paris which publishes a pamphlet by a man who calls himself George Ross Ridge and claims to be “an American professor in exile.” According to police authorities, informants have said that about a third of the members of the Nazi cells in South Africa are of German origin.
