Description

In its last decades, the apartheid regime was confronted with an existential threat.

While internal resistance to the last whites-only government grew, mandatory international sanctions prohibited sales of strategic goods and arms to South Africa.

To counter this, a global covert network of nearly fifty countries was built.

In complete secrecy, allies in corporations, banks, governments and intelligence agencies across the world helped illegally supply guns and move cash in one of history’s biggest money laundering schemes.

Whistleblowers were assassinated and ordinary people suffered. Weaving together archival material, interviews and newly declassified documents, Apartheid Guns and Money exposes some of the darkest secrets of apartheid’s economic crimes, their murderous consequences, and those who profited: heads of state, arms dealers, aristocrats, bankers, spies, journalists and secret lobbyists.

These revelations, and the difficult questions they pose, will force the new South Africa—and all who were complicit—to confront the past and be held to account.
