Founder of the Bittereinders and former youth leader of the United Independent Movement (UIM), Devon Hofmeyr, announced over the weekend he had decided to step away from activism to focus on family, career and studies.

Hofmeyr, who was working as director of diamond dealer Louis Liebenberg's organisation, ToekomsFront, said he had the privilege of serving his people at the ground level for 10 years.

"Compensation for that was never on the table. It was my privilege. In this decade, I learned more than I could teach," he said.

"From solo activist to the founding of the Bittereinders, then the UIM to the civil rights organisation ToekomsFront, it mostly felt like a dream, but I lived it with dedication and purpose," Hofmeyr said.

The Bittereinders describes itself as "the movement that unashamedly fights exclusively for Afrikaner/Boer interests".
