Biografie

This collection is the submission made to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by a group of South African Police (SAP) former generals under the banner of an organisation that they called Foundation for Equality before the Law. It is an attempt to defend the role of the South African Police (SAP) in the creation and maintenance of the Apartheid system.

To this end it offers analyses, from the perspective of Apartheid apologists, of various aspects of the Apartheid system and the resistance to it by opponents to Apartheid for the period under examination by the TRC.

Contextual background: Major-General HD Stadler and other former generals of the SAP established the Foundation for Equality before the Law specifically as a platform from which they could compile this particular submission, which legitimises the violation of human rights by the SAP. The submission was presented to the TRC in June 1996.

Access: No access restrictions

Comments: This submission is a copy of the original that is in the possession of the chief compiler, Major-General HD Stadler.

Materials collected for TRC Archival Audit.

The TRC Archival Audit

Between 2003 and 2006, SAHA and Historical Papers, University of Witwatersrand embarked on a project to locate, retrieve and make available records relating to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC). The project entailed conducting an archival audit of all existing TRC records in order to identify and locate documentation in danger of being lost.

In the process of conducting the archival audit, SAHA and HP located many collections from individuals and organizations that participated in the TRC process, including this collection. Selections from these materials as well as TRC related material found in the freedom of Information Collection and other pre-existing SAHA and HP collections, were digitized and can be accessed online at http://truth.wwl.wits.ac.za/

A guide to archival resources relating to South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission can also be found at http://www.saha.org.za/pdf/trc_directory.pdf
