He joined the police force, became a warrant officer, then left to begin farming. He became active in the Herstigte Nasionale Party and stood, unsuccessfully, in Heidelberg as a parliamentary and provincial candidate. Terre'Blanche decided that the Westminster political system had serious shortcomings and that a Blanke Volkstaat, based on the system that existed at the time of the Boer Republics, was the only salvation for whites in South Africa. In 1973 he launched the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (Afrikaner Resistance Movement - AWB), which aimed to achieve white security and reunification of the Afrikaner volk through a resistance and freedom movement and the creation of a partyless Volkstaat.
