The minister of Law and Order, Adriaan Vlok, announced in the House of Assembly that no member of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) would be tolerated in any of the structures of the South African Police (SAP). Neither would members of the United Democratic Front (UDF) or the African National Congress (ANC) be accepted. He said 'radicalism either to the left or to the right of the moderates is unacceptable to us in the police force'.
