This is interesting.

If you haven't, one thing that it might be worthwhile to look into for South Africa and perhaps other countries is xenophobia and xenophobic violence as an indicator of fascist tendencies occurring in that context.

Realistically the ruling party is not fascist by almost any measures, in part because of its postcoloniality and its relation to whiteness. But there does seem to be some elements of the party, and opposition parties in the country, that enable this kind of fascistic politics.

And of course, with organisations like Afriforum there is also a substantial white nationalist lobby power here, along with various white nationalist centrepoints, like Stellenbosch and Orania. While they are a fringe element they have big apartheid money and they are organised.
