Biografie
Between 1986 and 1990, while a student at the University of Stellenbosch, Behr worked as a paid agent of the South African Secret Service. In 1990 he notified the ANC in Zambia of these activities. After notifying the ANC he was asked to act as agent until the end of 1991. This he did. Behr went public about his spying activities at the conference “Fault Lines – Inquiries around Truth and Reconciliation” in July 1996.

Inhoud en structuur
Bereik en inhoud
The records that make up the collection constitute two discrete groups. The first record is a ring-bound copy of the submission that Behr had made to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in 1996 on his activities as a paid spy of the South African Police and later as an agent for the African National Congress (ANC).
The second set of records is correspondence between Behr and Brandon Hamber of the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) in which they discuss the modalities for the “coming out” of spies and the possibility of victim-offender mediation. The correspondence spans the period 9 February 1997 to 26 April 1997.
Materials collected from TRC Archival Audit.
The TRC Archival Audit
SAHA and Historical Papers, University of Witwatersrand have embarked on a project to locate and retrieve records relating to the 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. 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://truth.wwl.wits.ac.za/trc_directory.pdf
