	The South African Defence Force and its part in the apartheid regional destabilisation campaign
		Botha had served as the Minister of Defence from 1966 to 1980, Prime Minister from 1979 to 1984 and State President from 1984 to 1989, and during his tenure South Africa became increasingly militarised.
		The SADF and South African Police (SAP) were fighting counter-revolutionary forces with the support of the National Intelligence Service and the Department of Foreign Affairs.
		As newly liberated African countries and liberation movements turned towards the Communist Eastern Bloc for support, the South African government masked its internal political repression and military development and actions against its neighbours as protection against the international threat of Communism.

	ANGOLA AND SOUTH WEST AFRICA: A FORGOTTEN WAR (1975-89)
		As Pik Botha, South Africa's foreign minister said: 'Not one soldier will be withdrawn from the border as long as SWAPO will maintain its murderous policy and refuse to agree to a ceasefire.

		Indeed, the Minister of Defence told this committee last year that should countries [such as Saudi Arabia or Zimbabwe] seek armaments from South Africa, then commercial considerations would take priority over either human rights issues or the rights of South African citizens for information about such transactions.
		South African taxpayers are expected to subscribe 50% of the construction capital, and consumers are then expected to subsidise the smelter’s massive electricity consumption.
		Yet instead of disbanding it, the armaments industry was soon being described as the "respository of South Africa’s technological expertise." South Africans were told that irrespective of its apartheid origins, the armaments industry was a national asset that it would be foolish to destroy.

	Historical Parallel or Historical Amnesia?: South African Defence Review No 2, 1992
		It was an event that was to exert a profound influence on the creation of the Union of South Africa and it was an event that was to leave an indelible imprint on the form of the Union Defence Force (UDF) and the South African Defence Force (SADF) in later years.
		Added to these qualities was the South African's inherent instinct to conserve manpower and a recognition of the importance of mobility seldom before appreciated by the larger European armies of Europe.
		Although vanquished in battle, the civilian and military authorities conceded to a large measure of Boer influence within the Union Defence (and actually felt that this was highly desirable) precisely because of the legitimacy that would accrue to the Union Defence Force in the process.
