[5] In June 1987 the BBB went public and sought to recruit members,[6] aiming at both Afrikaners and British whites.

[8] In August 1987 Schabort attended and spoke at a commemorative service for Rudolf Hess organised by the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB).

[10] The BBB ran a "blatantly racist"[10] bilingual magazine Kommando: Stem van die Blankedom/Kommando: Voice of the White Race published by Alan Harvey.

Harvey was deputy leader of the South Natal branch[7] (its leader was Peter Smith); Harvey had previously published and edited the South African Patriot magazine in Durban, under the "Patriotic Press" imprint.

[11] The BBB was banned, and restrictions were placed on the political activities of Schabort in November 1988, in reaction to the massacre of black people in Pretoria by Barend Strydom.

[18] Du Plessis continued to form the NSP as a cell; its flag was "basically white with a red cross and a swastika".

Following the bombing of a taxi rank in Germiston on 26 April 1994, which killed ten people, it was claimed in the press that the BBB were responsible; Schabort denied this.
