The arms deal scandal

Terry Crawford-Browne

Review of African Political Economy, 2004, vol. 31, issue 100, 329-342

Abstract: To people in South Africa and millions around the world who supported the struggle against apartheid, it is incomprehensible that the ANC government's first major decision was to buy warships and warplanes when there is no conceivable foreign military threat and when the real threat to the consolidation of democracy is poverty. Instead of houses, schools and clinics being built, instead of money to tackle AIDS, South Africa bought submarines.
