History
The IBI was an independent monitoring group, formed to investigate the causes of political violence and to create public awareness around the issue of political violence. It collected evidence of intimidation and violence, and through numerous reports indicated widespread collaboration of South African security forces with the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), homeland authorities and allied vigilante groups.
