The Black Cats were an IFP structure, mainly the youth.  The IFP encountered problems at the time, to the effect that the ANC did not welcome them in the area.  They were called Black Cats, so as to hide the fact that they were an IFP structure, because the IFP itself was not welcome in Ermelo.  So the Black Cats were in effect, the IFP Youth Brigade.
