The Boeremag ([ˈbuːr.ə.maχ], "Boer Force") is the name by which a group of men convicted of treason in South Africa is commonly known. The South African government described them as a South African right-wing terrorist organization with white separatist aims. The Boeremag were accused of planning to overthrow the ruling African National Congress government and to reinstate a new Boer-administered republic reminiscent of the era when Boers administered independent republics during the 19th century following the Great Trek. These men have been imprisoned since 2002. The trial lasted 11 years.

  • Boeremag (Afrikaans für „Burenmacht“) war eine rechtsradikale Gruppe in Südafrika, die mit terroristischen Mitteln arbeitete. Ihre Mitglieder rekrutierten sich aus der burischen Unter- und Mittelschicht; mehrere von ihnen hatten während der Apartheid der Armee und der Polizei angehört. (de)
  • The Boeremag ([ˈbuːr.ə.maχ], "Boer Force") is the name by which a group of men convicted of treason in South Africa is commonly known. The South African government described them as a South African right-wing terrorist organization with white separatist aims. The Boeremag were accused of planning to overthrow the ruling African National Congress government and to reinstate a new Boer-administered republic reminiscent of the era when Boers administered independent republics during the 19th century following the Great Trek. South African law-enforcement officials charge the Boeremag for being responsible for the 2002 Soweto bombings and arrested twenty-six men, alleged to be members of the Boeremag, in November and December 2002, reportedly seizing over 1,000 kilograms of explosives in the process. Further arrests followed in March 2003. The first trial of Boeremag suspects began under tight security in Pretoria during May 2003. Twenty-two men were charged with forty-two counts of treason, murder, and illegal weapons possession. Six pleaded not guilty, two have not entered pleas, one refuses to plead, and thirteen are challenging the court's jurisdiction, alleging that the post-apartheid constitution and government of South Africa are illegitimate. During the trial plans to blow up South African actor Casper de Vries together with eight other individuals were revealed. The group is quoted as saying that the reason for this plan was because De Vries "was not on the right path". In October 2004 the Pretoria High Court heard testimony from a witness, Deon Crous, who stated under oath that he had assisted two of the accused, Kobus Pretorius and Jacques Jordaan, to manufacture 1500 kg of explosives. Crous testified that five amounts of 300 kg were reserved for five separate bombs. One of the planned bomb attacks was cancelled as there was too high a risk of white civilians being injured. The bombs were to be detonated on December 13, 2002, with various attacks planned to follow the bombings. In early May 2006 Herman van Rooyen and Rudi Gouws, two of the leading members being tried, were reported to have escaped. The two men were recaptured on 20 January 2007 and were set to appear in court to face charges of escape and the illegal possession of firearms. In late October 2013, , the ringleader of a plot to assassinate Nelson Mandela and expel Black people out of South Africa, was convicted of treason and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Twenty other members of Boeremag were also sentenced to prison terms of between five and 35 years. They included Herman van Rooyen and Rudi Gouws, two of the co-conspirators of Du Toit who were given longer sentences for their role in planting bombs in their attempt to assassinate Nelson Mandela. These men have been imprisoned since 2002. The trial lasted 11 years. (en)

Gli oppositori del Boeremag, compreso il governo sudafricano, lo considerano un'organizzazione terroristica. I servizi di sicurezza del Sudafrica ritengono che il Boeremag sia responsabile degli attentati compiuti a Soweto nel 2002. Per quei fatti nel novembre e nel dicembre del 2002 la ha arrestato 26 presunti membri del Boeremag. Ulteriori arresti sono stati portati a termine nel marzo del 2003. Le prime sedute del processo ai presunti membri del Boeremag sono state celebrate a Pretoria nel maggio 2003. Ventidue uomini sono stati imputati per un totale di 42 volte di tradimento, omicidio e . Sei di essi si sono proclamati innocenti, due si sono rifiutati di rispondere, uno non si è definito né colpevole né innocente e tredici si sono rifiutati di riconoscere la legittimità delle decisioni dei tribunali. Hanno affermato che la costituzione postapartheid e il governo del Sudafrica sono illegittimi. (it)
