Oxwagon Sentinel

The Ossewabrandwag did not achieve its objective of taking over the state. For the people who constituted the movement continued to exist, playing their part in a new state which had a lot to offer to Afrikaners after 1948. They made careers for themselves and were influential. So in the long term the OBs true significance lay in its political socialisation of many people reinforcing their basically anti-democratic attitudes.
