This system is designed with the intent of maintaining and extending racist rule in South Africa. According to this plan, the future South Africa will be entirely divided by race. No black person will be a citizen of South Africa. Instead, "tribal homelands" are being established by the white government, and eventually all Blacks will be forced to become "citizens" of their "homeland", which will include only people of the same ethnic group. Black people are 83 % of the population, and the homelands total 13 % ofthe land mass.

  • Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa Report Volume TWO Chapter ONE National Overview
    VOLUME TWO Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa Report Volume TWO Chapter ONE National Overview I PREFACE 1 This chapter seeks to provide an overview of the context in which conflict developed and gross violations of human rights occurred. Other chapters in this volume focus specifically on the nature and extent of violations committed by the major role-players throughout the mandate period. The volume focuses specifically on the perpetrators of gross violations of human rights and attempts to understand patterns of abuse, forms of gross violations of human rights, and authorisation of and accountability for them. Sources 2 In identifying the principal organisations and individuals responsible for gross viola- tions of human rights in its mandate period, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (the Commission) had a vast range of information at its disposal. In addition to court records and press reports, it received over 21 000 statements from individuals alleg- ing that they were victims of human rights abuses and 7 124 from people requesting amnesty for acts they committed, authorised or failed to prevent. In addition, the Commission received submissions from the former State President, Mr P W Botha, political parties, a variety of civil institutions and organisations, the armed forces and other interested parties. All these submissions were seriously considered by the Commission. Through its power to subpoena witnesses, the Commission was also able to gather a considerable amount of information in section 29 and other public hearings. 3 While the Promotion of National Reconciliation and Unity Act (the Act) gave the Commission free access to whatever state archives and documents it required, in practice, access to the holdings of various security agencies was difficult, if not impossible, with the exception of the National Archives.

Nexus between Intelligence Education and Intelligence Training: A South African Perspective Abstract This paper examines the nexus of intelligence education and training from a South African perspective with the focus on current practices in light of the country’s transition towards democracy. A brief overview is provided on the history and development of the South African intelligence community with specific focus on the civilian intelligence services from the period prior 1994 to date (2015). The main focus, however, is on intelligence education that is currently available from training institutions and universities in South Africa as registered with the Department of Higher Education as well as private training institutions on the one hand, and the intelligence training practices within the statutory intelligence environment on the other. To this extent, the relations between academic institutions and the intelligence structures in terms of education and training within South Africa are perused against other practices within the African continent and internationally.

  • South Africa Chemical Chronology
    South Africa Chemical Chronology 2005-2000 | 1999-1990 | 1989-1896 Last update: April 2005 This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation 2005-2000 28 January 2005 The United Kingdom releases its third quarterly report on Strategic Export Controls, covering the period 1 July to 30 September 2004.
