From unification in 1910, the state had been run by the white minority and pursued segregation from there. Apartheid was a certified, lawful and inflexible type of separation that was methodically entrenched from 1948 through a battery of legislation. As it was not completely new to the country, and because many Western countries still exercised their own forms of prejudice in their assorted colonies, there was minimal rejoinder and indignation. The conclusion of the Second World War signified the commencement of the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a>, and South Africa, with its anticommunist stance, was considered a possible assistant in the passive battle against the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Jim_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jim-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The world did not, however, condone South Africa's discriminatory policies. At the first UN gathering in 1946, South Africa was placed on the program. The primary subject in question was the handling of <a href="/wiki/Indian_South_Africans" title="Indian South Africans">South African Indians</a>, a critical cause of hostility between South Africa and India.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1952, apartheid was thrashed out again in the aftermath of the <a href="/wiki/Defiance_Campaign" title="Defiance Campaign">Defiance Campaign</a>, and Indian demands caused the U.N. to set up a task team to keep watch on the state of racial affairs and the progress of apartheid in South Africa.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although racial segregation in South Africa was a cause for concern, most countries in the UN concurred that race was an internal issue for South Africa, which fell outside the UN's jurisdiction. Only later did the United Nations become resolute in challenging South Africa. In 1952 13 African and Asian countries sponsored a <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly" title="United Nations General Assembly">U.N.

Weeks later, tensions came to a head in the <a href="/wiki/Sharpeville_massacre" title="Sharpeville massacre">Sharpeville massacre</a>, resulting in more international condemnation. Soon thereafter, South African Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Hendrik_Verwoerd" title="Hendrik Verwoerd">Hendrik Verwoerd</a> announced a <a href="/wiki/1960_South_Africa_referendum" class="mw-redirect" title="1960 South Africa referendum">referendum</a> on whether the country should sever links with the <a href="/wiki/British_monarchy" class="mw-redirect" title="British monarchy">British monarchy</a> and become a republic instead. Verwoerd lowered the <a href="/wiki/Voting_age" title="Voting age">voting age</a> for whites to eighteen and included whites in <a href="/wiki/South_West_Africa" title="South West Africa">South West Africa</a> on the voter's roll. The referendum on 5 October that year asked whites, "Do you support a republic for the Union?", and 52 per cent voted "Yes". </p><p>As a consequence of this change of status, South Africa needed to reapply for continued membership of the <a href="/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations" title="Commonwealth of Nations">Commonwealth</a>, with which it had privileged trade links. Even though <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a> became a <a href="/wiki/Republic_within_the_Commonwealth" class="mw-redirect" title="Republic within the Commonwealth">republic within the Commonwealth</a> in 1950 it became clear that African and Asian member states would oppose South Africa due to its apartheid policies. As a result, South Africa withdrew from the Commonwealth on 31 May 1961, the day that the Republic came into existence. </p><p>In 1960, the UN's conservative stance on apartheid changed. The Sharpeville massacre had jolted the global neighbourhood, with the apartheid regime showing that it would use violent behaviour to repress opposition to racial inequity. Many Western states began to see apartheid as a possible danger to global harmony, as the policy caused much intercontinental abrasion over human-rights violation. </p><p>In April 1960, the Security Council of the UN settled for the first time on concerted action against the apartheid regime, demanding that the <a href="/wiki/National_Party_(South_Africa)" title="National Party (South Africa)">NP</a> bring an end to racial separation and discrimination; but, instead, the South African administration merely employed further suppressive instruments. The <a href="/wiki/African_National_Congress" title="African National Congress">ANC</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pan_Africanist_Congress_of_Azania" title="Pan Africanist Congress of Azania">PAC</a> were forbidden from continued existence, and political assemblies were prohibited. From then on, the UN placed the South African issue high on its list of priorities. </p><p>In 1961, UN Secretary-General <a href="/wiki/Dag_Hammarskj%C3%B6ld" title="Dag Hammarskjöld">Dag Hammarskjöld</a> stopped over in South Africa and subsequently stated that he had been powerless to effect a concurrence with Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Hendrik_Verwoerd" title="Hendrik Verwoerd">Hendrik Verwoerd</a>. That same year, Verwoerd proclaimed South Africa's extraction from the Commonwealth as a result of its censure of his government. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sanctions">Sanctions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Foreign_relations_of_South_Africa_during_apartheid&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Sanctions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Disinvestment_from_South_Africa" title="Disinvestment from South Africa">Disinvestment from South Africa</a></div> <p>On 6 November 1962, the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly" title="United Nations General Assembly">United Nations General Assembly</a> passed <a href="/wiki/UN_General_Assembly_Resolution_1761" class="mw-redirect" title="UN General Assembly Resolution 1761">Resolution 1761</a>, condemning South African apartheid policies.

The General Assembly announced 21 March as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, in memory of the <a href="/wiki/Sharpeville_massacre" title="Sharpeville massacre">Sharpeville massacre</a>. In 1971, the UN General Assembly formally denounced the institution of homelands, and a motion was passed in 1974 to eject South Africa from the UN, but this was discarded by France, Britain and the United States of America, all of them key trade associates of South Africa. </p><p>One probable type of action against South Africa was economic sanction. If UN affiliates broke fiscal and trading links with the country, it would make it all the trickier for the apartheid government to uphold itself and its policies. Such sanctions were argued frequently within the UN, and many recognised and backed it as an effectual and non-violent way of applying force, but South Africa's major trading partners once more voted against mandatory sanctions. In 1962, the UN General Assembly requested that its members split political, fiscal and transportation connections with South Africa. In 1968, it suggested the deferral of all cultural, didactic and sporting commerce as well. From 1964, the US and Britain discontinued their dealings of armaments to South Africa. In spite of the many cries for sanctions, however, none were made obligatory, because South Africa's main trading partners were again primarily concerned for their own financial security. </p><p>In 1977, the voluntary UN <a href="/wiki/Arms_embargo" title="Arms embargo">arms embargo</a> became mandatory with the passing of <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_418" title="United Nations Security Council Resolution 418">United Nations Security Council Resolution 418</a>. </p><p>An oil embargo was introduced on 20 November 1987 when the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly" title="United Nations General Assembly">United Nations General Assembly</a> adopted a voluntary international <a href="/wiki/Petroleum" title="Petroleum">oil</a> <a href="/wiki/Embargo" class="mw-redirect" title="Embargo">embargo</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Aid_to_apartheid_casualties">Aid to apartheid casualties</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Foreign_relations_of_South_Africa_during_apartheid&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Aid to apartheid casualties"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Another way in which the UN could do something to combat apartheid was to lend support and aid to its victims.

Its primary objectives were to eradicate colonialism and improve social, political and economic situations in Africa. It censured apartheid and demanded sanctions against South Africa. African states swore to aid the freedom movements in their fights against apartheid. In April 1969, fourteen autonomous nations from <a href="/wiki/Central_Africa" title="Central Africa">Central</a> and <a href="/wiki/East_Africa" title="East Africa">East Africa</a> gathered in <a href="/wiki/Lusaka" title="Lusaka">Lusaka</a>, <a href="/wiki/Zambia" title="Zambia">Zambia</a>, to argue about various African matters. The assembly formulated the 'Lusaka Manifesto', which was signed on 13 April by all of the countries in attendance, except for <a href="/wiki/Malawi" title="Malawi">Malawi</a>. This manifesto was later taken on by both the OAU and the United Nations. </p><p>The Lusaka Manifesto summarised the political situations of self-governing African countries, snubbing racism and inequity, and calling for black majority rule in all African nations. It did not rebuff South Africa entirely, though, adopting an appeasing manner towards the apartheid government, and even recognising its autonomy. Although African principals desired the emancipation of black South Africans, they trusted in their abilities to attain this in peaceable ways, intercession instead of militancy. The manifesto's signatories did not want to engage in a military war by supporting the liberation pugilists, because, for one thing, they could ill afford it and, for another, they dreaded retaliation.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Morogoro_Conference">Morogoro Conference</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Foreign_relations_of_South_Africa_during_apartheid&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Morogoro Conference"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Morogoro_Conference" title="Morogoro Conference">Morogoro Conference</a></div> <p>Neither the ANC nor the PAC was content with the Lusaka Manifesto. The signatories had not checked with them before laying out the document, and they foresaw the fact that African backing for the struggle would taper. The Manifesto did not truly recognise the significance of the liberation groups in the answer to South Africa's problems and even proposed dissuading them from an armed struggle. Both the ANC and the PAC had started using violent means in the 1960s, with the formation of their military wings. </p><p>Disinclined to destroy the support that they did have, however, the ANC and PAC did not explicitly condemn the Manifesto. In 1969, though, the ANC held the inaugural National Consultative Conference in <a href="/wiki/Morogoro" title="Morogoro">Morogoro</a>, Tanzania, where it ironed out its troubles and anxieties. The result was a decision not to end the armed struggle but, rather, to advance it. Oliver Tambo summed up thus: "Close Ranks! This is the order to our people, our youth, the army, to each <a href="/wiki/Umkhonto_we_Sizwe" class="mw-redirect" title="Umkhonto we Sizwe">Umkhonto we Sizwe</a> militant, to all our many supporters the world over. This is the order to our leaders, to all of us. The order that comes from this conference is 'Close Ranks and Intensify the Armed Struggle!'" </p><p>Unlike the independence factions, the South African administration hailed the Lusaka Manifesto's plans for arbitration and détente. This tied in nicely with Prime Minister Vorster's own plan for the reduction of South Africa's seclusion from the rest of the world. He called his "Outward looking" policy. The state also maintained that the preservation of separate development through homelands carried out the Manifesto's insistence on human equality and dignity. The homelands, it argued, were meant eventually to be self-governing, decolonised nations where black people could take part in ballots and be free to live how they wished. </p><p>That is not to say that the NP government <i>agreed</i> to the Lusaka Manifesto, however.

Vorster's forerunner had already become aware of the fact that cordial dealings with as many black states as possible was of paramount importance. As more and more African states acquired statehood from their colonial rulers, and as the Portuguese hold over neighboring <a href="/wiki/Mozambique" title="Mozambique">Mozambique</a> and <a href="/wiki/Angola" title="Angola">Angola</a> weakened, bitterness towards the South African apartheid system increased. If South Africa did not wish to become completely cut off from the rest of the African continent, she had to sustain associations with it, starting, of course, with mutual economic support. Vorster persisted with this strategy and built good relationships with a number of independent African states. </p><p>In 1967, Vorster proffered technological and fiscal counsel gratis to any African state prepared to receive it, asserting that absolutely no political strings were attached. He gave great attention to financial facets, aware of the fact that many African states were very run-down and would require financial aid in spite of their rebuffing of South Africa's racial principles. <a href="/wiki/Malawi" title="Malawi">Malawi</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lesotho" title="Lesotho">Lesotho</a> were the first countries to enter discussions with the NP government. </p><p>One of the first steps to take in initiating dealings was to convene with the heads of these African countries. Here Vorster worked decidedly contrary to Verwoerd's policies. Where Verwoerd had declined to get together and engage in dialogue with such leaders as <a href="/wiki/Abubakar_Tafawa_Balewa" title="Abubakar Tafawa Balewa">Abubakar Tafawa Balewa</a> of <a href="/wiki/Nigeria" title="Nigeria">Nigeria</a> in 1962 and <a href="/wiki/Kenneth_Kaunda" title="Kenneth Kaunda">Kenneth Kaunda</a> of <a href="/wiki/Zambia" title="Zambia">Zambia</a> in 1964, Vorster, in 1966, met with the heads of the states of Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana. There was still mutual suspicion, however, particularly after Vorster's denunciation of the Lusaka Manifesto in 1969. Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland stayed candid critics of apartheid, but they hinged on South Africa's economic aid. This was inclusive of pecuniary credit and the fact that many natives from these states worked the South African mines. </p><p>Malawi was the first country not on South African borders to accept South African aid. She identified the monetary benefits of such a deal, for there were also many Malawians working in South African mines. In 1967, the two states delineated their political and economic relations, and, in 1969, Malawi became the only country at the assembly which did not sign the Lusaka Manifesto. In 1970, Malawian President <a href="/wiki/Hastings_Banda" title="Hastings Banda">Hastings Banda</a> made his first and most successful official stopover in South Africa. </p><p>Associations with Mozambique followed suit and were sustained after that country won its sovereignty in 1975.

Economic and military sanctions were among these, but cultural and sporting boycotts also found their way in. South Africa, in this way, was cut off from the rest of the globe. It also awakened the South African community to the opinions of other countries. Despite financial shunning causing significant harm to <a href="/wiki/Coloureds" title="Coloureds">Black South Africans</a>, the ANC proclaimed it as an essential means of achieving liberty.

Apartheid forbade multiracial sport, which meant that overseas teams, by virtue of their having players of diverse races, could not play in South Africa. In 1956, the <a href="/wiki/International_Table_Tennis_Federation" title="International Table Tennis Federation">International Table Tennis Federation</a> severed its ties with the all-white South African Table Tennis Union, preferring the non-racial South African Table Tennis Board in its stead. The apartheid government came back by confiscating the passports of the Board's players so that they were unable to attend international games. Other global sports unions followed the example, but they were sluggish in doing so. </p><p>In 1959, the non-racial South African Sports Association (SASA) was shaped to secure the rights of all players on the global field. After meeting with no success in its endeavours to attain credit by collaborating with white establishments, SASA went to the <a href="/wiki/International_Olympic_Committee" title="International Olympic Committee">International Olympic Committee</a> (IOC) in 1962, calling for South Africa's eviction from the <a href="/wiki/Olympic_Games" title="Olympic Games">Olympic Games</a>. The IOC sent South Africa a caution to the effect that, if there were no changes, it would be barred from the 1964 games. The changes were initiated, and in January 1963, the South African Non-Racial Olympic Committee (SANROC) was set up. The Anti-Apartheid Movement persisted in its campaign for South Africa's exclusion, and the IOC acceded in barring the country from the <a href="/wiki/1964_Summer_Olympics" title="1964 Summer Olympics">1964 Games in Tokyo</a>. South Africa selected a multi-racial side for the next Games, and the IOC opted to include the country in the <a href="/wiki/1968_Summer_Olympics" title="1968 Summer Olympics">1968 Games in Mexico</a>.

Vorster</a> took Verwoerd's place as PM in 1966 and declared that South Africa would no longer dictate to other countries what their teams should look like. Although this reopened the gate for sporting meets, it did not signal the end of South Africa's racist sporting policies. In 1968, Vorster went against his policy by refusing to permit <a href="/wiki/Basil_D%27Oliveira" title="Basil D'Oliveira">Basil D'Oliveira</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Cape_Coloured" class="mw-redirect" title="Cape Coloured">Coloured</a> South African-born cricketer, to join the English cricket team on its tour to South Africa. Vorster said that the side had been chosen only to prove a point, and not on merit. After protests, however, "Dolly" was eventually included in the team; see the <a href="/wiki/D%27Oliveira_affair" title="D'Oliveira affair">D'Oliveira affair</a>. Protests against certain tours brought about the cancellation of a number of other visits, like that of an England rugby team in 1969/70. </p><p>As sporting segregation persisted, it became obvious that South Africa would have to make further changes to its sporting policies if it was to be recognised on the international stage. More and more careers were impinged upon by segregation, and they began to stand up against apartheid. In 1971, Vorster altered his policies even further by distinguishing multiracial from multinational sport. Multiracial sport, between teams with players of different races, remained outlawed; multinational sport, however, was now acceptable: international sides would not be subject to South Africa's racial stipulations. </p><p>International censure of segregated sport and calls for sporting sanctions persisted. The UN would continue to hold them against South Africa until the end of apartheid. These measures did not bring an end to international sport for South African teams, but they added very much to the country's seclusion. The bans were revoked in 1993, when conciliations for a democratic South Africa were well under way. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cultural_boycotts">Cultural boycotts</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Foreign_relations_of_South_Africa_during_apartheid&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Cultural boycotts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 1960s, the <a href="/wiki/Anti-Apartheid_Movement" title="Anti-Apartheid Movement">Anti-Apartheid Movement</a> worldwide began to campaign for <i>cultural</i> boycotts of apartheid South Africa.

A siege mentality developed among whites, and, although many believed that a civil war against the black majority could not possibly be won, they preferred this to "giving in" to political reform.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Paradoxically, the international sanctions that cut whites off from the rest of the world enabled black leaders to develop sophisticated political skills as those in exile forged ties with both regional and world leaders. </p><p>P. W. Botha initiated a policy of "Total Onslaught, Total Strategy", whereby reform was mixed with repression. With big businesses (affected by apartheid policies) ardently desirous of change, the government established two important commissions of enquiry. The Riekert Commission concluded that black people ought to be allowed to buy their own homes in urban areas,<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> while the Wiehahn Commission dictated that black trade unions be given more freedom, more money be spent on black education and some apartheid legislation be abolished. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Prohibition_of_Mixed_Marriages_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act">Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act</a> was repealed, while the pass laws and employment colour bar were relaxed. Fewer people were arrested for offences pertaining to the latter as segregation in everyday life was gradually lessened. The government also gave so-called "independence" to a number of the homelands, but this seems to have been in part due to the fact that, as foreign citizens, their people could no longer expect anything from the South African government. Indeed, none of these reforms lessened the power of the white minority. </p><p>The term "<a href="/wiki/Front-line_states" class="mw-redirect" title="Front-line states">front-line states</a>" referred to countries in <a href="/wiki/Southern_Africa" title="Southern Africa">Southern Africa</a> geographically near South Africa. Although these front-line states were all opposed to apartheid, many were economically dependent on South Africa. In 1980, they formed the <a href="/wiki/Southern_African_Development_Coordination_Conference" title="Southern African Development Coordination Conference">Southern African Development Coordination Conference</a> (SADCC), the aim of which was to promote economic development in the region and hence reduce dependence on South Africa. Furthermore, many SADCC members also allowed the exiled ANC and <a href="/wiki/Pan_Africanist_Congress" class="mw-redirect" title="Pan Africanist Congress">PAC</a> to establish bases in their countries. </p><p>Other African countries also contributed to the fall of apartheid.

In this regard, it organised its home territory in Military Commands, sub divided into Groups, and the Groups were populated by operational Battalions, also in the then South-West Africa. Area defence and protection of "Home and Hearth" was the responsibility of the unique "Commando" system, integrated with the military Groups. (This system emanates from the old Boer Republics and refers to a system of Citizen's Defence.) This deployment pattern provided depth in defence, tactical mobility and flexibility and integrated area coverage. Military Operations were always based on good operational and strategic intelligence, and the defensive deployments on border areas were augmented where required by offensive cross – border pre - emptive strikes by Special Forces, Special Operations Units and the South African Air Force (SAAF). The purpose of these strikes always was to either pursue fleeing infiltrators back to their base areas, or to pre – emptively strike and prevent insurgent infiltrations and potential damage and loss of life. This strategy was based on a customised format of Counterinsurgency (COIN) warfare, generally accepted in the Western World during the Cold War and beyond, even recently in Afganistan. </p><p>In South-West Africa, the same principle was applied, also under the later "South-West Africa Territorial Force" where the area was organised in depth in several Military Sectors, ie "Sector 10 and Sector 20" on the border with Angola, whilst various others were organised to take care of the deeper defence and protection. The Border Sectors were populated by permanently deployed Operational Battalions such as 51, 52, 53 and 54 Battalions providing Border Protection in Sector 10, and various other in Sector 20 towards the East. Intelligence operations in the rear areas, the border areas and the areas of trans border military responsibility and influence were intensely conducted by specialist units and technical capacity. As the South-west Africa People's Organisation's (SWAPO) military wing, People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) was a well organised, funded and equipped insurgent Army, and respected as such by the South African Army, it created a formidable military threat. In this regard, PLAN perpetually threatened the border regions by insurgent type offensive actions, which included intimidation, extortion and terrorising the local population. similarly, the South African Army units, organised as described above, countered the threat aggressively and regularly struck deep into Angola to disrupt and destroy SWAPO's logistics and Command and Control and to degrade its fighting capacity. As the strategic objective of the time (Based on the firm belief that SWAPO as a Communist - influenced organisation would institute a Communist Soviet - aligned government in South-West Africa) was to avoid Namibia falling into the hands of a SWAPO government on the border with South Africa, the South African government supported UNITA in its war against the communist MPLA foes. This was as part of a concerted effort by the West to oppose Soviet efforts to expand its control in Southern Africa. This led to the second dimension of this conflict, where the South African Government, at first covertly and later openly, supported UNITA in its fight against the MPLA. Based on the explanation above, South Africa had a policy to attack terrorist bases in neighbouring countries. These attacks were mainly aimed at ANC, PAC and SWAPO guerrilla-bases and safe houses in retaliation for acts of terror – like bomb explosions, massacres and guerrilla actions (like sabotage) by ANC, PAC and Swapo guerrillas in South Africa and Namibia. Attacks were also conducted as pre - emptive strikes based on confirmed, actionable intelligence. The country also aided organisations in surrounding countries who were actively combatting the spread of communism in Southern Africa. The results of these policies included: </p> <ul><li><i>Support for anti-government guerrilla groups</i> such as <a href="/wiki/UNITA" title="UNITA">UNITA</a> in Angola and <a href="/wiki/RENAMO" title="RENAMO">RENAMO</a> in Mozambique</li> <li><a href="/wiki/South_African_Defence_Force" title="South African Defence Force">South African Defence Force</a> (SADF; now the <a href="/wiki/South_African_National_Defence_Force" title="South African National Defence Force">South African National Defence Force</a>; SANDF) hit-squad raids into front-line states.
