gives an impressive list of definite and specific aims which must be kept in mind. To anyone who<br />
reads this document it must become clear that its perpetrators would stop at nothing to disrupt and<br />
disorganise the state and would not scruple to resort to terrorism and massacre in order to create that<br />
state of chaos and anarchy which is the favourite breeding ground of the Red danger threatening Africa<br />
and casting its evil shadow over the Republic.<br />
By means of the judicious propaganda campaign previously referred to, the conspirators hoped to<br />
bring about a total and universal boycott of South Africa, which would paralyse both her export trade<br />
and her internal organisation. The support of international trade unions had to be recruited in order to<br />
guarantee that no foreign power would supply the Republic with arms or military material of any<br />
description, nor embark on any trade whatsoever with South Africa.<br />
UNO was to be the propaganda platform, and the Afro-Asian bloc was to exert all pressure on this<br />
organisation to induce military intervention in South West.<br />
To conduct a war, funds are necessary. The projected 'Political Authority' which would ultimately<br />
develop into a 'provisional revolutionary government', would therefore have to secure as much credit<br />
as possible, to ensure sufficient funds with which to pursue the struggle in South Africa.<br />
Smoothly operating communication facilities are essential to the success of a revolution. 'Operation<br />
Mayibuye' provides for radio facilities for daily broadcasts to the outside world as well as to the<br />
'People of South Africa'.<br />
Transport is likewise of vital importance in conducting a successful revolution. The blueprint<br />
envisages a weekly or biweekly air service for recruits, to ensure a steady and regular flow of trained<br />
staff.<br />
Finally, in order to implement the military part of the programme, it is recommended that the<br />
'National High Command' of Umkhonto We Sizwe appoint staff in the office of the organisation in Dar-<br />
Es-Salaam.<br />
Part IV of the blueprint for the murder of South Africa is concerned with internal organisation. The<br />
following extracts are revealing:<br />
"Our target is that on arrival the external force should find at least 7,000 men in the four main areas<br />
ready to join the guerrilla army in the initial onslaught. These will be allocated as follows:<br />
Eastern Cape– Transkei 2,000<br />
Natal– Zululand 2,000<br />
North Western Transvaal 2,000<br />
North Western Cape 1,000<br />
"To realise our target in each of the main areas... it it proposed that auxiliary guerrilla/sabotage<br />
units in the four main areas be set up before and after the commencement of operations. They may<br />
engage in activities that may serve to disperse the enemy forces, assist to maintain the fighting ability<br />
of the guerrillas as well as draw in the masses in support of the guerrillas.<br />
How this detailed plan is to be put into operation, is expounded in Section V of 'Operation<br />
Mayibuye'. The execution of this project involves at least five fronts:<br />
Firstly, An Intelligence Department, which is to investigate and report on the following:<br />
