Arthur Kemp is a writer, polemicist, and pro-white political figure, who had been politically active in South Africa originally supporting and then opposing apartheid before moving to Europe.[citation needed] According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, he is a white supremacist who has been active in providing some manner of support to the National Alliance in the United States.[1]
Kemp has denied all of the SPLC allegations, dimissing them as "total rubbish" on his website. [2].
Arthur Kemp was born in 1962 in Rhodesia, spending his formative early political years in South Africa. Kemp worked as a journalist for the South African Conservative Party, which opposed the handover of that country to ANC rule.
He was expelled from the Conservative Party in 1992 for coming to the decision to oppose the party’s Apartheid policies, arguing that they were not only immoral, but in practical terms, unenforceable as well. [3] Kemp details all of this and the circumstances which led to his expulsion from the CP in his 2009 book (The Lie of Apartheid and other True Stories from Southern Africa published January 2009).[4]
In South Africa, he met Alan Harvey who was a member of the Herstigte Nasionale Party of South Africa. When Harvey returned to Britain he joined the British Conservative party and Kemp cut links with him.[citation needed]
Kemp knew Clive Derby-Lewis who along with Janusz Walus was found guilty for their roles in the murder of Chris Hani. Kemp's role in the incident was fully investigated by the South African Police, who were monitored in their investigation by George Churchill-Coleman, the former head of Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist squad [5] and Mathew Phosa, prominent ANC lawyer. [6]
Despite ANC input into the investigation of the Hani affair, Kemp was never charged and the subsequent court case confirmed that Kemp had nothing to do with the assassination of Hani.[citation needed]
Kemp was subpoenaed to give evidence in the Derby-Lewis trial to confirm a statement given to police by the main accused.[citation needed]
The court recognised that the list of names which Kemp had provided to the third accused, Gaye Derby-Lewis, was not a ‘hit list.’ Because of this, Gaye Derby-Lewis was acquitted of all charges and released [7]
In Britain, Kemp became active with the British National Party. He oversees the BNP's Voting Membership training programme, and is content editor of the BNP’s website.[8]
As of January 2009, Kemp had written and published five books, some of which have been published by Ostara Publications under the Lulu imprint.
