NTI: Country Overviews: South Africa: Nuclear Overview South Africa's nuclear experience began under the aegis of the "Atoms for Peace" program when in 1957 it signed a bilateral 50-year agreement for nuclear collaboration with the United States. The SNIE stated that South Africa's decision to pursue nuclear weapons would be based on its "growing feeling of isolation and helplessness, perceptions of major military threat, and desires for regional prestige" although the estimate did not foresee a serious military threat from any of its African neighbors during the 1970s. South Africa is one of 44 countries that must ratify the CTBT for it to take legal force, and South Africa will host five monitoring stations established to verify the treaty. www.nti.org /e_research/profiles/SAfrica/Nuclear/index.html   (2444 words)

ANGOLA AND SOUTH WEST AFRICA: A FORGOTTEN WAR (1975-89) 1975 was a particularly bad year for the western world: Saigon and Phnom Penh fell into communist hands while, after a sudden about-face in western Africa, the Soviets turned away from their Somali allies to back instead the new Ethiopian rulers who had declared themselves loyal to Moscow. South African reinforcements quickly poured in: a squadron of Elands was airlifted by a C-1 30 into Angola, even though the initial aims of this first operation, codenamed 'Savannah', were restricted to recapturing Lobita Harbour and to reopen the vital Benguela railway line, used to bring in copper ore from Zaire.

The IFBB and South Africa Consequently, South Africa was warmly accepted into the IFBB brotherhood and was also awarded the 1975 World Bodybuilding Championships by a vote of 35-0, with Pakistan and Yugoslavia abstaining. The decision to organize the world bodybuilding championships and international congress in South Africa was one that was taken by the majority of members of the IFBB delegates during our international congress that was held in Geneva, Switzerland in 1973. South Africa is a hotbed of bodybuilding and has more than 400 first class Clubs operating on a regular basis. www.ifbb.com /history/southafrica.htm   (2694 words)

Forward to Freedom - 1975 This is serious, especially when one considers that the people of South Africa are no less determined than those of Mozambique to reach the ultimate objective of their struggle, which has been costly to them in terms of life, in terms of liberty, in terms of fundamental freedoms which are enjoyed everywhere in the world. In the name of the white people of South Africa, and on their authority, the African people are being bayonetted out of their homes; the fl people are being subjected to increasing harassment and bullying, and criminal aggression is under way against our brothers in Zambia and the rest of Southern Africa. South Africa does not create Bantustan states in order to elevate them into the level of sovereignty and independence enjoyed now by Botswana, for instance, or Zambia: rather must we suspect, on good ground, that their tactics will be to reduce the independent states to the level of the whole Bantustan community of ethnic groups. www.anc.org.za /ancdocs/history/forwd75.html   (5210 words)

The Annotated Ramsar List: South Africa Set in an extremely rugged area that includes three altitudinal zones along the border between South Africa and the Kingdom of Lesotho, The Drakensberg is regarded as the most important mountain catchment in South Africa due to its high yield and water quality, supplying rural, agricultural, urban and industrial users downstream. A large agricultural irrigation scheme is operating erratically south of the reserve in the catchment area. The area is especially important hydrologically because it acts as a sponge in the upper catchment of important river systems for both South Africa and Mozambique, ensuring gradual release to more populous downstream regions during rainy periods. www.ramsar.org /profile/profiles_southafrica.htm   (1790 words)

Borderstrike! South Africa into Angola 1975 - 1980 by Willem Steenkamp (Book) in Reference A reconstruction of the early “external operations” of the South West African/Namibian border war between 1978 and 1980, it remains a standard reference work to this day. It heralded the shape of things to come, which was to culminate in the fierce later battles of 1988/89, when South Africans and UNITA slugged it out toe-to-toe with the Soviet-supported and led forces of the Angolan government (Cuban & Russian). The book also has four appendices to make the reader’s life easier: some Angolan place-names which have changed since 1975; a full list of Honoris Crux recipients up to 1982, with the names of their units; copies of some hitherto secret Cuban despatches; and 26 maps dealing with the various operations and actions. www.lulu.com /content/136228   (1348 words)

Secret Cuban Documents on History of Africa Involvement The United States knew about South Africa's covert invasion plans, and collaborated militarily with its troops, contrary to what Secretary of State Henry Kissinger testified before Congress and wrote in his memoirs. The first Cuban military advisers did not arrive in Angola until late August 1975, and the Cubans did not participate in the fighting until late October, after South Africa had invaded. In assessing the motivations of Cuba's foreign policy, Cuba's relations with the Soviet Union, and the nature of the Communist threat in Africa, Gleijeses shows that CIA and INR intelligence reports were often sophisticated and insightful, unlike the decisions of the policymakers in Washington. www.gwu.edu /~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB67   (1999 words)
