Hate Thy Neighbour Season 1 Episode 2 Hunting the White Devil

Hate Thy Neighbour is a British documentary series that premiered in 2016 on the Vice network. It is hosted by comedian and journalist Jamali Maddix. The show explores the world of hate groups and extremist organizations, giving viewers a first-hand look into their beliefs, practices, and the people behind them.

Season 1 episode 2 is titled "Hunting the White Devil." In this episode, Jamali travels to South Africa to meet with members of the White Rhino Security group. White Rhino Security is a self-proclaimed "Christian combat organization" that believes they are fighting a war against the "black devil" in South Africa.

Jamali meets with the group's leader, Paul O'Sullivan, who has a history of working in law enforcement and security in South Africa. O'Sullivan claims that the white population in South Africa is under attack from black criminals and that the government is not doing enough to protect them. White Rhino Security, according to O'Sullivan, is filling the gap left by law enforcement and protecting their own people.

Jamali accompanies members of White Rhino Security on a "patrol" of a black township. The group, armed with assault rifles, drives around the township looking for any signs of criminal activity. They claim that they have the support of some of the black residents in the township, but Jamali questions whether the residents truly support them or are just afraid to speak out.

Throughout the episode, Jamali also meets with members of a black militant group called Azania, who are fighting against white supremacy in South Africa. Azania believes that groups like White Rhino Security are a threat to their cause and the safety of black South Africans.

Jamali also speaks with academics and experts on the history of apartheid in South Africa and the legacy it has left behind. They explain that the black population in South Africa still faces significant inequality and discrimination, and that groups like White Rhino Security are only exacerbating the problem.

"Hunting the White Devil" provides a look into the extreme racial tensions that still exist in post-apartheid South Africa. The episode highlights the dangerous consequences of hate and mistrust between different racial groups, and the need for dialogue and understanding to bridge the divide.
