https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otAMLtlf2N4 ***NSFW*** Any ideas on the weaponry used? South Africa was under embargo from everyone else, so had to resort to producing their own weapons. Would things have been different had the US supplied weapons directly? Fun reading: 32 Battalion, one of the most feared in the conflict. http://www.vice.com/en_dk/read/32-battalion-409-v17n4 bluegoon fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Dec 23, 2014 |

I know that the South Africans were developing a nuke back in the 80's in case they were invaded by their neighbors, and that they developed their own domestic arms manufacturers, but de Klerk ended the nuke program in 1990 and I don't know about the state of their conventional arms industry.

related, one of my fav conspiracy theories: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Airways_Flight_295#David_Klatzow.27s_theory quote:Klatzow put forward a theory that the fire likely involved substances that would not normally be carried on a passenger aircraft and that the fire was not likely a wood, cardboard, or plastic fire.[9] South Africa was under an arms embargo at the time; the South African government therefore had to buy arms clandestinely.[36] His theory postulates that the South African government placed a rocket system in the cargo hold, and that vibration caused unstable ammonium perchlorate to ignite.[37] This would seem pretty out there, but quote:The South African military was involved in the manufacture of the drug Ecstasy during the apartheid era, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission has heard. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/109853.stm 900kg is enough to supply a continent, and a lot of people wonder where that went.

That is one of the going theories. A large influx of brown pills of extremely high quality showed up apparently, but I bet every batch of high quality stuff had some "this is the Apartheid stash" rumors around it. Adding to the mystery, here is a Vice article of questionable veracity http://www.vice.com/read/wouter-basson-dr-death-south-africa-ecstasy-957 Though the details seem sketchy, that the purpose of the program being to raise money seems very possible. Ecstasy is a pretty lovely form of crowd control, 900kg is a whole lot, they were bad people, and they needed lots of money.
