Arthur Kemp is a writer and political figure from South Africa, who currently works for the British National Party.

Biography

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 transition of that country to universal suffrage.

In 1993 Kemp was the key state witness in the prosecution relating to the murder of South African Communist Party leader Chris Hani. Clive Derby-Lewis and Janusz Walus were found guilty for their roles, and both are serving life sentences. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Kemp is a white supremacist who has been active in providing some manner of support to the National Alliance in the United States, and asserts he left South Africa because he was seen to have betrayed those convicted in the murder trial of Walus and Derby-Lewis, by giving testimony against the Derby-Lewises. Kemp dismissed these allegations as "total rubbish" on his personal website, saying they didn't even get his year of birth correct.

Kemp has written and self-published several books including March of the Titans: a history of the White Race, which questions the number of Jews killed in the Second World War and "is popular with far-right activists around the world." In 2009 he re-published Victory Or Violence - The Story of the AWB of South Africa, on the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB - Afrikaner Resistance Movement), having originally published it in 1990.

Having moved to the UK in 1996, Kemp is manager of Excalibur, the British National Party (BNP)'s merchandising arm, and is in charge of maintaining the BNP website. Andrew Johnson of The Independent wrote "(Kemp)was spotted in the BNP's election headquarters in Wales preparing thousands of campaign leaflets. The BNP released a video of the Euro election leaflet operation apparently showing that the operation was under the control of Birmingham BNP activist Richard Lumby.
