Ever since the mostly peaceful transition to majority rule in 1994, right-wing South Africans have claimed the moment would spell an end to reconciliation and unleash untold bloodshed. So engrained was the idea of a "Night of the Long Knives" that it even seeped into mainstream thinking. Some plotted elaborate evacuation plans, radio programmes discussed whether it was remotely possible and one journalist even visited a town where whites would supposedly gather before fleeing, just in case anyone turned up. }}{{Cite web |url=https://mg.co.za/article/2012-05-07-online-racism-its-worse-than-you-thought/ |title=The carefully hidden face of online racism |last=de Wet |first=Phillip |date=2012-05-07 |website=The M&G Online |language=en |access-date=2019-04-05}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2018/11/africa/south-africa-suidlanders-intl |title=They're prepping for a race war.

They anticipate an eventual collapse of infrastructure, and advocate and plan for an evacuation of white South Africans from major cities in the event of a race war. The group has claimed success in raising global awareness of the claimed threat, following a 2017 tour to the United States by spokesperson Simon Roche, and has also taken credit for an offer by Australian government minister Peter Dutton to preferentially grant refugee visas to white South African farmers.{{Cite news|url=https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/sa-conservative-group-takes-credit-for-increased-white-genocide-awareness-20180323|title=SA conservative group takes credit for increased 'white genocide' awareness|work=News24|access-date=2018-08-24|language=en}}
