The Afrikaner Broederbond (Afrikaner Brotherhood; AB) was a twentieth-century South African secret society that advanced an Afrikaner nationalist agenda aimed at fostering cultural pride among Afrikaners and securing their social, political, and economic supremacy within the broader South African population.

Founding

The Broederbond was founded in Johannesburg in 1918 as Jong Suid-Afrika (Young South Africa) by H.J. Klopper, H.W. van der Merwe, and D.H.C. du Plessis, three teenage Afrikaners.
