There's also Derek Hanekom.

I'd say ANC does not enjoy much white support at all. A few percent at most, and the support they do get is probably from the english whites.

As earlier mentioned, the Democratic Alliance totally dominates the white voter base, and has done so at least since the 2004 election. The right wing VF+ is in a distant second place (among Afrikaners only). Probably the religious ACDP following after that.

The only places that differ are a few small towns in the Free State and Limpopo where VF+ enjoys fairly substantial support. They are even bigger than the DA in the town of Wesselbron. But this is to be considered a rare exception.

The leader of the Freedom Front used to be a deputy minister, so they aren't that fringe.

Yeah, that's interesting. They are totally not treated as a pariah at all like similar parties in Europe would be. Both ANC and DA have worked in governing coalitions with them.

The VF+ has toned down the retoric over the years though. They no longer talk much about a volkstaat and instead portray themselves as a minority interest party. There was even an attempt to broaden there base. A few months ago they made a big fuss about a handful of coloured people that joined their party.

There is a new player in the game also. The relatively newly formed Front National (Front Nasionaal) was formed specifically to fight for "Afrikaner self-determination". From what I have seen, these guys seem very hardcore. Open apartheid apologists too. But they did very badly in the 2014 election.
