Die Brits-Israeli beweging onder wit Afrikaanssprekendes: Vorming van identiteit in die "Nuwe Suid-Afrika"

Abstract

There is an observable increase in the numbers of the Israel-Vision (British-Israeli) movement in South Africa. Many church members are confronted with the ideologies of this movement and leave their churches as a result. Is there a reason for the increasing popularity of this group? This study did a literature study to understand the roots and essence of the movement in order to understand the reason it is so popular under Afrikaans speaking South Africans. An important finding was that white Afrikaans speaking South Africans are searching for identity after the establishment of the New South Africa which resulted in Afrikaans speaking South Africans to lose their place of authority, and that for some the Israel Vision has fulfilled this search.
