History
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.
