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 />
