Judge Blocks Bequest To White Supremacist Organisation

A bequest by a Cape Town man to a white supremacy group has been declared invalid because it promoted racial hatred and was contrary to public policy.

Western Cape High Court Judge Rosheni Allie has ruled that the bequest by Grantland Michael Bray to the Boerelegioen, to be used for illegal training purposes, violated constitutional values.

The application to invalidate a section of the will was made by Brays siblings and the trustees of the Bray family trust.

The Boerelegioen RSA Pty Ltd and the Boerelegioen NPC opposed the application and filed papers, but their attorney then withdrew, informing the court that they were aware that the case had been set down but that no one would appear on their behalf.
